That actually makes the most sense for Philly. If the Eagles are going to turn around and ship Lito off, they'll want to do it to the AFC, not to Arizona or to us. Some combination maybe in play to allow the Eagles to move up to #7 as part of all of this for that matter.
All of that established, that doesn't make sense for the Patriots. Lito is sure to want a contract in the neighborhood of Samuel. Why would New England let Samuel walk, then turn around and trade a lot for Lito and give him a similiar deal?
