Asante Samuel goes to...

...the Iggles.

Should be interesting to see what he does outside New England.

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Eagles got the defensive playmaker they desperately needed, signing free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel to a six-year, $57 million contract on Friday.
The deal includes $20 million in guaranteed money and $32 million in the first three years of the contract, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter.

Eagles sign free-agent cornerback Samuel to six-year deal

You're right BL. Don't hear much of Lawyer Milloy anymore do ya? And KC just cut Ty Law. Wonder if they're still happy about their decisions? And did you see the clips from Samuels' press conference? "I wanted to come to a team where the fans have always supported them?". WTF????It's no wonder that over 40% of today's players can't tell you who Jim Brown or Gale Sayers were.

bl,

[Peter Forsberg]

Woot!

 

[LordStanley]

Donovan Mcnabb still quarter back

 

[Peter Forsberg]

At least Jason Cambell is not our QB.

$20...

...mill, no matter what.

This stuff never ceases to amaze me. A team is 53 players and a cap of, what, 116 mil or so this year? That is, in a perfect world, $2.1 million per player. Of course, it's not even close to that what with the way the cap is actually figured and counted.

I mean, is a cornerback worth that? Obviously, in a free market he is.

I mean, is a cornerback worth that?

No.

I'm glad the Iggles overpaid.

 

[Peter Forsberg]

No.

I'm glad the Iggles overpaid.

Buddy Lee I know you are a little smarter then to talk about the Eagles spending habits. Bandon Lloyd Where is he? Archuleta Where is he? Your still paying these guys. How much is Snoop Dog getting overpaid? I mean Smoot!

I wasn't discussing the horrible moves of Lloyd and Archuleta.

I will be nice and say Redskins have no cap room to spend money because of Snydermens past.

Probably about 8 mil, around the middle of the pack.

 

[Larry Gude]

That's just...

...not accurate. They always find a way.
