Oakland: Where the Three Highest-Paid Guys at Their Position Get You a 5-11 Mark

Nnamdi Asomugha, three years, $45.3 million.

Shane Lechler, four years, $16 million.

Now, Sebastian Janikowski, four years, $16 million.

Three guys who are the highest paid players at their position, and they are deserving of it, but where has that gotten us? Seven straight losing seasons.

Was it a good move to sign those three guys, though? Yes, because without them, the Raiders would be a whole lot worse, if you could imagine that.

Also, with JaMarcus Russell being the fifth highest paid QB and Richard Seymour receiving the franchise tag worth over $13 million, the Oakland Raiders have a little over $50 million invested in five guys.
