Assante Samuel to Eagles? KFFL Reports Deal Done [MERGED]
I wouldn't either. Fitzgerald is going to get half of a full contract's guaranteed money this year, then he will be able to enter free agency next season. You can't pass that up at his age, it would simply be stupid.
The trade doesn't add up and I'm not buying it. The Eagles paying almost 10 million more for Samuel than Lito is stupidity. I don't know why the Pats would be interested in Lito because he would be able to sign a deal almost as big as Asante. Why not just keep Samuel who already knows the system?
I don't think Philly signs Asante. I don't think Tampa pays that much for a corner in a cover 2 system.
I still think we have a shot at him but I think the Giants or some other team off the radar will show up in the mix somewhere.
