Retired CB Nnamdi Asomugha to make $134K if 49ers win Super Bowl
By Bryan Rose
Life is pretty damn good for retired NFL cornerback, Nnamdi Asomugha. In addition to laying his head next to uber-hottie Kerrie Washington every night, Asomugha stands to make himself a cool $134,000 dollars if the San Francisco 49ers win the Super Bowl.
Yes – Asomugha, who is no longer on the Niners roster after retiring earlier in the season and played three games for San Francisco (in which he picked up two tackles) stands to collect over a quarter of a million dollars.
Per CBS:
"4. Players who aren’t on the 53-man roster at game time that spent at least eight games on the roster (regular season or playoffs) provided they’re not under contract to another team in the same conference.The final category gives Nnamdi Asomugha a reason to root for the San Francisco 49ers. Since he was on San Francisco’s roster for eight games, he will make $134,000 if they win the Super Bowl. Brandon Jacobs was in the same situation last year. He made $84,000 from the 49ers advancing to Super Bowl XLVII."
Tough living.
Asomugha will have already made some money considering the full pay-scale will hand out $92K for winning the Super Bowl, but players get $21-23K for a Wild Card win, 23K for a Divisional Round victory and $42K for a Conference Championship.
The Super Bowl loser doesn’t come away empty handed as they’ll secure a nice $46,000 check.
