In 2011, Asomugha left the Oakland Raiders to sign a five-year, $60 million contract with the Eagles. At the time, he was fresh off his third straight Pro Bowl season, so this seemed like a great deal for the Eagles. His new contract made Asonugha the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

But the honeymoon was short-lived, as Asomugha showed serious signs of decline from the get-go in Philadelphia. During his first two seasons, Asomugha and his enormous contract were picked apart, as the Eagles allowed a whopping 60 touchdown passes. When Asomugha refused to renegotiate his contract after the 2012 season, the Eagles parted ways with him.
