| Nnamdi Asomugha |
The latest addition to the 49ers is cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha who was acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles. The cornerback has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, Asomugha will earn $1.35 million in base salary with a chance to earn an additional $1.65 million in incentives. Asomugha did considerably bad while on the eagles though the whole eagle defense performed horrible last season. His press-man coverage skill set was never ideally suited to the "Wide Nine" scheme prevalent in Philadelphia over the past two seasons. The 31-year-old bottomed out by allowing an eye-popping 120.6 passer rating on throws in his territory last season, according to Pro Football Focus. Which I believe resulted in a lost of confidence in his abilities. That can really bring down an athletes ability to perform to their full capabilities. With him joining the elite 49ers strong-willed defense, he is sure to gain back his confidence and perform to the high standards he is known to play with.
