7th-round pick received by #Eagles in Asante Samuel trade is No. 229. #Falcons left with 5 picks in 2012 draft: 55, 84, 157, 192, 249.

3yrs 18.5 mil (less than the Eagles were going to pay for 2 years) and a 7th. I know some folks are pointing at cap issues but the TV money kicks in next year and tha caps will go up considerably.

[UNCrules2187]

Not to mention the Falcons had LESS cap space than we did...3 years, $18.5 million and only a 7th?

I wish we could have gotten him for that...

[Captain Obvious]

Says a lot that McD didn't want him. That's probably a one of the reasons he didn't come here.

[MrBubba]

To get him for a 7 is pretty big deal. I would have taken him for a sixth. He can still cover with the best of them.

Samuel got $20m over 3 years. Falcons overpaid a bit. Their situation reminds me of eagles a lot. Great secondary but no way to stop running attack. I think Dimitroff is going all out to win. They will be in cap hell in 1-2 years. Roddy White, Gonzales, and Turner all old and got 1-2 years left with Falcons. Dimitroff knows its now or never.

I just read 18.5 mil over 3 years and a 7th round pick

No the cap want. It has already been explained that the cap will not increase till after next year. They are in a win now situation though and prob would sell there first born son for a solid FA.

I really hate this. I think his contract is 4 yrs for 18 mill w/a 7th round draft pick. He would've been perfect fit for us to play opposite of Gamble and allow us to develope Hogan and draft picks. Dagg

Gold for a 7th

Must have been CRAZY competition in the market to get him for the Falcon's to have to pony up a valuable 7th round pick.

[ClarkCam]

Grimes, Robinson, and Samuel...... I kinda poo myself... fugKKK

[kdrh5]

He's isn't worth the hype and only gives them a second overrated corner with dreads. I'm sure Steve Smith gives this move a big yawn.

[SuperMan]

Wont stop us from kicking there teeth in.
