Professional career
Asomugha was the second Cal player to be drafted in the first round (31st overall) of the 2003 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders' second round (31st overall). He was sent to cornerback, but he spent sparingly in the first two seasons of his career. He made his debut in 2005 and set new records in tackles with 60 tackles (55 solo) and passes broken up with 14.
He intercepted the Cleveland Browns in 2006 for his first two career interceptions. He made his third interception against the Pittsburgh Steelers four weeks later, putting the ball 24 yards for his first touchdown of his career. Despite the fact that the team suffered through a 2–14 season, Asomugha's 2006 season was his best yet, with 50 tackles (48 solo), eight interceptions, a forced fumble, and one touchdown. His interceptions career ranked him as the second highest in the National Football League, alongside four others (including former Oakland Raiders cornerback Charles Woodson). Asomugha was welcomed to the Pro Bowl as an alternate, but due to late notice, he was unable to attend the annual all-star game. He was also named the team's Most Valuable Player" by the Oakland Raiders as part of "Commitment to Excellence" Award. In addition,, Asomugha was chosen to the Dr. Z Sports Illustrated 2006 All-Pro Team, as well as The Associated Press' 2006 All-Pro Team.
For the 2007 season, Asomugha was selected as the Raiders Team Captain. Only 31 times did a complete season have been tested by opposition quarterbacks. According to one NFL scout, Asomugha was fired at "less than every defender in the last ten years" in 2007. He finished the 2007 season with 34 tackles(32 solo), 1 interceptor, and 7 breakups, as well as being named a 2008 Pro Bowl alternate.
The Raiders issued the exclusive franchise tag on Asomugha on February 20, 2008. He was a free agent in the 2008 offseason.
Asomugha was also selected as a team captain before the 2008 season. Only 27 times over the course of the season, leaving in only 8 completions. Randy Moss, the only perennial all-pros, and Tony Gonzalez (2 receptions, 34 yards) will receive more than one ball on him this year. Asomugha is "as complete a cornerback as he has seen all year," New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said. He finished the 2008 season with 40 tackles, 1 intercept, 1 forced fumble, and 9 pass deflections. For the second time, he received the Oakland Browns' "Commitment to Excellence" award, as well as running back Justin Fargas. Asomugha was selected as a starter for the 2009 Pro Bowl. For 2008, he was selected to the Sporting News 2008 All-Pro Team, as well as the Pro Football Writers Association All-NFL Team. Asomugha was also selected into Peter King's Sports Illustrated 2008 All-Pro team, as well as The Associated Press 2008 All-Pro Team.
The Raiders re-signed Asomugha to a three-year contract that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history on February 19, 2009. The first two years, worth $28.5 million, were 100% guaranteed. If Oakland wanted to keep Asomugha, it had to pay him the average of the top five highest-paid cornerbacks or $16.875 million, whichever was higher. If the Oaklands skipped over the offer, Asomugha became a free agent, with Oakland not being able to tag him again.
The Oakland Tribune named Asomugha one of the best Oakland Raiders of all time in August 2009.
In 2009 and the NFL's least targeted cornerback by an incredible wide margin, Asomugha was foiled by quarterbacks just 27 times and allowed 13 completions out of the season. "Asomugha is the best (corner) I've seen in a while throughout this league," head coach Gary Kubiak said after his appearance against the Houston Texans. He's big, he's fast, and they've put him out on a desert island for the whole game. He's an exceptional player." Asomugha finished the 2009 season with 34 tackles, 1 interception, and second in the league with 8 tackles for injury from the cornerback position, which was similar to the previous three seasons. Rob Ryan, the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator, said, "The guy is absolutely unbelievable." He carved himself the best corner in football by his work ethic, the way he studies tape, and his ability.
Asomugha was chosen as a starter for the 2010 Pro Bowl following the 2009 season. Asomugha was accepted onto the Sporting News 2009 All-Pro Team (2nd team), as well as the 2009 All-Pro Team (2nd team). In his seven-year career with the Oakland Raiders, this will be his third pick to both the Pro Bowl and All-Pro team.
In 2010, Asomugha was selected as a member of the Fox Sports' and USA Today's NFL All-Decade Team.
In the 2010 season, the shutdown corner lived up to his name once more. Asomugha was also targeted much less often than any other cornerback in the NFL while shadowing the opposing team's top receiver for the majority of the season. On the 27 passes that were thrown his way, Asomugha allowed only ten receptions. Asomugha did not miss a touchdown all year, and that was the most important. Pete Carroll, the Seattle Seahawks coach, said, "He has extraordinary speed – great speed." "He's just what you're looking for in a press corner and about as good as you'd like for a guy to be." Larry Fitzgerald, an All-Pro wide receiver for a man of his height, has incredible hips and quick feet, and that's just God given that he's able to walk and cut and drive on balls the way he does." Asomugha was selected as a starter for the 2011 Pro Bowl following the 2010 season. Asomugha was selected for ESPN John Clayton's 2010 All-Pro Team, as well as Peter King's Sports Illustrated 2010 All-Pro Team. Asomugha was also selected to the prestigious Associated Press 2010 All-Pro Team, his fourth pick as an All-Pro.
Asomugha was regarded as the best free agent on the market at the 2011 season. Asomugha's five-year, $60 million contract, with at least $25 million in guarantee, was signed on July 29, 2011.
He finished the season with 40 total tackles, 5 passes blocked, and three interceptions. Asomugha was selected as a 2012 Pro Bowl alternate.
The team lost the playoffs both years during his time in Philadelphia. Since being unable to commit to a restructured contract with the team, Asomugha was eventually released by the team at the end of the 2012 season.
Asomugha signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers, guaranteed a base salary of $1.35 million plus the opportunity to earn up to an additional $1.65 million in incentives, which will allow him to earn up to an additional $1.65 million in incentives. Asomugha's service was suspended on November 4, 2013.
