Asomugha signs deal with Niners

Published Apr. 2, 2013 1:00 a.m. ET

The San Francisco 49ers made it official with free agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, signing him to a one-year contract Wednesday that could pay him as much as $3 million.

Asomugha and the reigning NFC champions reached agreement on the deal Tuesday.

The former All-Pro was released by the Philadelphia Eagles on March 12 after two disappointing seasons - and now he is ready to help the 49ers return to the Super Bowl and win after losing 34-31 to the Ravens on Feb. 3 in New Orleans. Now, he gets another start right back where his football career began.

The 31-year-old Asomugha, a former college star at Cal, spent his first eight seasons with Oakland.
