Asomugha’s deal included a little-knownclause that said his contract would void if he didn’t achieve hisnot-likely-to-be-earned incentives in 2010 -- and he didn'’t.

Hiscontract also contained a stipulation that if he didn’t achieve hisincentives, the Raiders would agree not to designate him theirfranchise or transition player.

To achieve hisincentives, Asomugha had to play in a greater number of defensive playsin 2010 than he did in 2009, and this season Asomugha played in only 14games whereas he played in all 16 in 2009.

He also couldhave achieved his incentives by improving upon on his interceptions,fumble recoveries or sacks this season -- but he didn't have anyinterceptions, fumble recoveries or sacks this season.
He will be the top defensive player available whenever free agency begins

Would not mind seeing the Lions get involved. Then we could focus on other things for the Draft now that we won't get Prince or PP

Only the Raiders...

I realize they had to think this was unlikely, but why even write that in there?

Ah well...

This move would make perfect sense for the Eagles and that's the truth. Our corner position is very weak with Dmitri +##%@%+ Patterson starting, Nnamdi along side Asante would be a problem.
