Asante Samuel

There is rumor that Asante may be on his way out of Philly with the signing of Aso and the pick-up of Cromartie in the Kolb trade. If he hits the FA market would you bite? And if so would he be a NB or would you want him to start and move Grimes to NB?

If he hits FA (which he won't) then there's no question his phone will ring from ATL. But the fact is he's going to garner some pretty high compensation and we don't have it to give. I would love to have Robinson and Samuel together with Grimes on the Nickel, but fact is that isn't going to happen for us.

I'm just hoping Franks is as good as I think he is.

Asante and a 1st would get the deal done. Besides it is obvious Osi wants out of NY - is it ONLY about the $$?

Oh, and the Eagles seem to be signing like EVERYONE, so why not? :lol:

LOL! True but I don't see why they would help their rival by giving them even more than they already signed.

why would you move a probowl player who knows our system down the depth chart and allow samuel to come in with a high price and take his spot.

next.....

i dont think anyone was talking about giving him grimes spot, either put asante at nickel or dunta at nickel, it would be a huge improvement to our defense.

No chance.

We need to start doing our own homework anyways.

lol this is funny. I would love to have Samuel, he would instantly be the best corner on the team. those of you acting like our 22nd ranked pass defense couldn't use the help are delusional

Pass defense is just like any other defense...it takes ALL ELEVEN men doing their job! To think Samuel would come here and out produce Grimes is just silly. 22nd ranked pass d or not!

like others have said he would cost nearly 9 million for whoever trades for him. We couldn't offer much in trade, or pay that salary probably. They may cut him just to free up the space. They could sign all the rest of the good free agents if they release him. They will likely keep him unless they just need the cap room. Once they sign vick to a long term deal he will give them cap room also. He is counting 17m or so this year. I good young team in good shape with the cap I hate them. Can't wait to play them.

They would only be trading him to create cap space. So big name trades are out of the question. Ex osi from giants makes no since. They can't take on any more salary. It would take like a first and fourth to get the dude out of Philly. No gm in his right mind would out right cut him. The guy has to much value to the team. As for him playing in Atlanta. TD would have to work a deal where Philly pays 80% of his salary, which I don't see happening.
