Corners Get Franchised

Well two big names were franchised yesterday before today's deadline, Seattle CB Marcus Trufant and Oakland CB Nnamadi Asomugha. Both are very good players who have, either this season or previous, posted 5+ INTs at least once. You can't really argue with the decision since the CB market in Free Agency will probably be pretty thin, depending on whether or not Samuel resigns with the PAtriots. If he doesn't, your premiere available CB is probably going to Drayton Florence of the Chargers. Not bad, but you could do better. The Raiders went so far as to give Nnamadi the exclusive tag, which pays 9.5 million, but means he can't so much as talk to other teams. Pretty nifty.
