Nnamdi Asomugha reaches agreement with 49ers


Free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has reached a one-year agreement with the San Francisco 49ers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.


Rapoport adds that the deal includes $1.35 million in base salary, and Asomugha will have an opportunity to earn another $1.65 million in incentives. The veteran is already set to earn $4 million from the Philadelphia Eagles after being cut earlier this offseason.

Asomugha was courted by several teams – including the Oakland Raiders and New Orleans Saints – but he ultimately decided to join the 49ers.

After signing a big free agent contract with the Eagles, Asomugha was largely a bust during his time in Philadelphia. He went through a few defensive coordinators, but he and the rest of the Eagles secondary were torched since his arrival.

San Francisco has been in the market for a cornerback this offseason, and the hope is that Asomugha can at least somewhat return to form and fill in as a competent No. 2 corner.
