The acquisition of Darius Slay three years was widely praised because of his considerable abilities at cornerback. It presented Eagles fans with the first genuine opportunity to move on from the Nnamdi Asomugha disaster.
Asomugha was considered one of the NFL’s top cornerbacks when he entered free agency in 2011, even though he was about to turn 30.
Several teams pursued the Raiders’ All-Pro cornerback, and the Philadelphia Eagles offered the most attractive deal, a Five year, $60 million contract with $25 million guaranteed.
