Thanks Al, you drooling old fool, for singlehandedly screwing up the NFL.
What a tool!
Execs taken aback by Asomugha, Lechler deals
INDIANAPOLIS – Reaction was swift and ugly Thursday to the deals the Oakland Raiders gave CB Nnamdi Asomugha and punter Shane Lechler over the past two days.
"How many different ways can you say, 'What were they thinking?' " a team executive who declined to be identified said after being told the terms of Asomugha's three-year, $45 million contract.
"Insanity, stupidity, whatever you want to attach to it. Yeah, the kid is the best cornerback in the league. They paid for quality. I'll give them that. But that deal wrecks the league. Absolutely wrecks it. … I'm sure Al doesn't care, but it's deals like that that change the league for the worse."

I understand that the dude is probably the best corner in the league, but to give him such an absurd contract, for only 3 years (leaving him still VERY young for another Huge contract) will just screw up the league. I think NFL has to step in and boot the Al Davis out.

How much more washed up players or great players that only want $ and no desire to stay with the team long-term will keep taking advantage of this old man?
