Source: Panthers Willing To Trade For Asante Samuel

or we can sign one from FA and not get anally raped by Philly

If that is true, that shows us where we are when it comes to our cap space.

Well... I would be opposed to getting Samuel...

^He would require a great player and draft pick...

These draft picks are more valuable than ever now with this new CBA...

[Jrock88]

Samuel's only set to make 5.9 mil this year... Pretty reasonable for a player of his caliber.

Hell, Gamble is probably making more than that, and I know he doesn't have 36 Interceptions in the last 5 years.

yea we can be ok as long as we pick up some legit CB and our safety's dont have to play corner like someone suggested.

True dat! Seems like they would've had enough by raping the Cards.

@kepickle I'm told the Panthers are not in the market for Samuel. They'll shop for a CB, but not at that kind of $. They've spent a ton

hai!

Not a big Samuel fan, he's soft, but I'm certainly not opposed to it.

dude's great against the pass, though. not exactly a shut down corner, but QBs don't like throwing towards him. only had 40 targets last year. when the ball was caught, he did an incredible job at stopping the receiver. he was much better than gamble in that regard.

samuel > cromartie, but i'd be fine with either. cromartie could be around for longer and he's got experience working with rivera so he should be familiar with some of the things that they want to do defensively. samuel knows the system from mcdermott and jim johnson who taught both rivera and mcdermott.

Philly just sent Broderick Bunkley(14th overall pick in 06 draft) to the browns for a 5th round choice... Not saying Bunkley is a stud or anything but he's a hell of alot better than the DT's we have currently.

I would have thought the asking price for him would have been higher, maybe the same will be said for Samuel.

Wishful thinking.

Who knows more about the inner workings of the Panthers...our own Charlotte Observer beat writer or some nerdy national reporter?

From my memory, neither of them have a great track record with Panthers news.

[rayzor]

hai!

wouldnt be surprised either way.

that contract plus a player would be an awful lot to give up.

might just make sense to wait until the demand/price goes down on FAs left on the market and hope for the best.

But then theres the risk we enter the season with Gamble and random bum who probably isn't even as talented as Marshall. If you want something, go get it!

Oh yeah? Is that what the media told you? Watch some film bro. Thats a false perception about him.
