Free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha has three major suitors right now. Below are things that may be going through his mind as he weighs his options on who to sign with.
New York Jets
Asomugha has been playing in Oakland for 8 seasons so winning is something that he has not been able to experience. The New York Jets offer him the best chance at a championship right now. They are the team that is most ready to make a Super Bowl run. The Jets may not be able to offer as much money as the other teams, but if he wants to win, New York would be the place to do it.
Houston Texans
Asomugha can make the most money in Houston as he will not have to pay individual taxes. Houston is always a team that, on paper, looks like it could be a contender in the AFC, but never seems to be able to pull it off in the end. Asomugha may be instrumental in helping the Texans compete with the big name AFC franchises.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers offer a chance for Asomugha to stay local. He lives in the Bay Area and is used to the Bay Area. Again, he played 8 seasons across the Bay in Oakland. He played college ball at the University of California, Berkeley. Asomugha is a California native as he grew up in Los Angeles attending Leuzinger High School in Lawndale and Bishop Montgomery High School in Torrance before transferring to and graduating from Narbonne High School in Harbor City.
His choice will depend on what is more important to him. If he wants more money, he will have to pick Houston. If he wants to win now, he will have to go to New York for less money. If he wants to stay local and still make a decent paycheck, San Francisco is an option.
Honestly, if your love for the 49ers was not factored in, who would you pick and why? Leave a comment below.
