Nnamdi Asomugha will earn $11.718 million, a guaranteed 20 percent raise from the $9.765 million he earned this season, if the Raiders use the exclusive franchise tag on him. The only other options are to work out a long-term contract, let Asomugha leave after six seasons or apply the non-exclusive franchise tag, which would provide the Raiders two first-round draft picks if another team signs him.
