BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) — Nnamdi Asomugha says he didn’t think he was headed to Philadelphia until the last minute, either.
Speaking Sunday about his experience as a free agent, Asomugha said “the Eagles never seemed to be in it.”
But he says that after the team made a late, aggressive move, “when you feel that match, I don’t think you can shy away from that.”
So Philly surprised the NFL by announcing Friday that he had signed a five-year contract. Asomugha reported to Eagles training camp at Lehigh University late Saturday night and was on the field watching his new team practice for the first time Sunday morning.
A three-time Pro Bowl pick during his eight years with the Raiders, Asomugha signed a deal worth $60 million over five years.
