Asante Samuels Discussion Revisited

[chknwing]

Asante Samuel's agent, Alonzo Shavers, has put the word out that his client is willing to restructure his contract to facilitate a trade. The question, though, is how low is he willing to go? Samuel, who turned 31 in January, is scheduled to earn $9.5 million this season. I'm hearing that he will be willing to go down to $7 million in bonus and salary this season. But that might not be low enough to get it done.

I dunno if Carolina can pull this out of the arse to pay this guy but would be worth it.

What could we offer though? I wouldn't do Otah for Asante. I still want to give Otah one more chance while he's cheap. And I don't want to give a draft pick this year (they are asking for a 3rd, which we don't have). I'd do a 2013 3rd rounder, though.

There's no way in hell they will be paying this man 7 million this year.

[janderson20vt]

Yeah, not happening.

[Snake]

Its nice to think about but no way we could afford him even if he reworked his deal. Better off taking our chances in the draft.

[stirs]

He has already given the league his best years. No thanks

[TylerVagyler]

$7 million including the bonus and salary isn't a bad deal to be honest. But we are tight on cash.

[CarolinaNCSU]

What would be the cap hit for Philly if he were cut? Anybody know?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Maybe the Bucs will bite?

[Argus Plexus]

We didn't dump a 7 million dollar overpaid guard so we could pick up a 7 million dollar overpaid corner.

[Dpantherman]

fug it.

[Gallagher]

fug Asante Samuel. Fool couldn't even cover Ricky Proehl in the Super Bowl.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Not going to happen.

Hopefully some moronic team ahead of us in the draft sign the guy, so at least we can get a chance to snag claiborne.
