Reports already saying Asante Samuel available for trade, should we go get?

Yeah, if it were that easy. But it's not. The Eagles will want too much and it just isn't worth it. For the right price it'd be awesome, but that just flat out isn't going to happen. We would have to trade our way right out of a good draft next season, and probably lose a player.

yeah, honestly it all depends what the Eagles end up needing. If they want to win NOW, maybe we have some pieces that could help them which wouldn't break the team. Never know.

I too think the price would be too steep, but if it wasn't, there is virtually no reason not to go for it.

He turns 30 in a few days, Gamble is 28. Safe to say the "too old" thing can be thrown out the window.

Talkin' about Connor for DRC... :lol:

I'd trade Connor, like I said, he's a backup and Asante would make us have a super solid back 7. I like our team with Asante in there, a physical guy. We won't have a Richard Marshall for the other team to abuse all game. I like Connor, but he's wasting here, and he's going to be an issue eventually when he thinks he's starting caliber. So he's turning 30, and I like going younger, but sometimes you NEED some vets on your team, it's a good mix match to have some around.

We're so quick to remember how we missed vets last year, Hoover, Moose, etc. I like the youth movement as much as the next guy, but if we can get some vets to contribute for a few years while we FIND a young guy to take over (possibly Hogan if he pans out and gets healthy) I say go for it (and obviously if the price isn't too crazy).

I always liked Asante's physical game, something this secondary has been missing for far, far too long, so I'd love having him here.
