From Adam Schefter:
The franchise tag for Asomugha will cost the Raiders $11.7 million, a small price to pay for the player that many believe is the best cornerback in the game. Opposing teams no longer even look to throw to Asamghoua’s side; one knowledgeable league source who tracks these sorts of things estimated that only 10 passes have been thrown Asomugha’s way all season.
