Where are they now?

[Hoover]

People still bitch about letting talent we draft walk away, but sometimes it works out for the best. Just look at Albert and Asamoah, who combined signed contracts worth about 70M.

Branden Albert: “It’s not a limp, it’s my strut.”

Branden Albert signed a 5 year, $47,000,000 contract with the Miami Dolphins, including a $8,500,000 signing bonus, $26,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $9,400,000. In 2015, Albert will earn a base salary of $9,000,000 and a workout bonus of $25,000. Albert has a cap hit of $10,725,000 while his dead money value is $15,825,000.

Albert played in nine games last season. Now he’s walking around favoring his right knee.

Jon Asamoah: The 6-foot-4-inch, 305-pound Jon Asamoah doesn't appear to be an ideal fit for Kyle Shanahan's outside zone scheme.

Jon Asamoah signed a 5 year, $22,500,000 contract with the Atlanta Falcons, including a $4,000,000 signing bonus, $6,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,500,000. In 2015, Asamoah will earn a base salary of $2,500,000, a roster bonus of $468,750 and a signing bonus of $2,000,000. Asamoah has a cap hit of $4,268,750 while his dead money value is $5,200,000.

Saturday's moves included placing demoted right guard Jon Asamoah on injured reserve with a hip injury. Asamoah could have reached an injury settlement with the team and become a free agent, but that obviously wasn't an option. He was one of three players placed on IR, along with fullback Collin Mooney and cornerback Travis Howard.
