Asomugha wants out of Oakland. Whether it's this year via trade or next year via free agency, he's gone.

McNabb has one year left on his contract and isn't likely to return to Philly after 2010. He'll hold the Raiders hostage or walk.

So either way, the Raiders are looking at two players holding them hostage. McNabb needs a job and is 34 years old. Asomugha is 28 years old and would be closer to his home in the South. He'd also be closer to a major media market (New York) and as sharp as he is, he's likely to move to broadcasting after he retires.

The bottom line is that the Raiders could make the trade and still only have McNabb for a year AND lose maybe the best cornerback in the game.

With the situation as it is it looks like a win for Oakland IMO McNabb has plenty of ball left in him as in 4 to 5 years and with the sack of shit Russell redefining the term bust Davis will blow McNabb to keep him. Not a bad deal considering the train wreck the Raiders have become~

I think you would be lucky to get two solid years out of McNabb. He's 34 and had some serious injuries in the past few years.

Asomugha OTOH, is only 28 years old and should be a solid CB for a least two more years (if not more), then you move him to safety.

It's a bad deal for the Raiders.

You are missing my point. They are going to lose him anyway. For a team to make all the mistakes the Raiders have made to get in this situation this is as good of outcome as they could hope for~

Well if that's the point, I most certainly missed it!

If you lose him, what exactly do you HAVE on that team?

They still have that kicker they drafted in the first round
