Asante Samuel released from the Falcons

[neverlosethefeeling]

It could revitalize whats left of Samuel's career.  This is a guy that has some familiarity with the system and comes from a hated division rival.  His knowledge of ATL's offense could prove more valuable than his his play which is still an upgrade over anyone on our roster playing CB atm.

 

I'm not sure how much he'd actually know about the offense. It's not like he's sitting in their meeting rooms. He'd be able to tell us much more about the defense.

[CarolinaCoolin]

no, I am not. Just saying, the guy is old and heading towards retirement. what they saved is about normal for a probowl CB. IF they thought he could go another year etc, they prolly would have kept him. Carolina should avoid this like the plague. Also Gettlemen has already stated he doesnt want 21 free agents every year. I dont see them signing him.

He also went on to say that having that many FA each year is becoming apart of the game and where it's headed with the new CBA.

Do want

[El Chingon]

I doubt we're interested. Simply not much of an upgrade over what we already have, and he's 33. 

[Cpt slay a ho]

yep sign him up, that gives White time to develop and draft a corner in the 3rd or 4th, resign munnerlyn and BOOM! this defense is set

well...not having 21 FAs, but still more than you would have historically.

 

until the cap goes up quite a bit from the TV deal. we'll be seeing a lot of guys on 1 year deals just like we did this past one.

 

i don't think that we'll have 21 again, but there will still be quite a few. many FAs in the market, just like this past one, will ask for one year deals under the impression that the next year will be the year that they can get a better multi-year deal.

 

samuel just makes too much sense. already knows the system and still has a good bit of talent. we pretty much know what we have with him and it would be a quick boost that would allow us to concentrate on other areas of improvement.

I really don't see what other people see in munnerlyn, to me he's to small and unskilled to play a genuine corner and even at nickel he gets beat by qbs who go after him, to go to the next level we need to draft or pick up big tall powerful cbs not the likes of munnerlyn, thanks for all you have given to this franchise, but I really hope he does not come back next season

[Guest Dark Knight]

Isn't he the dude that got big bucks several years ago then virtually disappeared?

[LinvilleGorge]

That wouldn't be difficult now would it.

 

Nope, but gotta start somewhere.

88!!

LOL that's ok then let's sign him to a six year 300million deal! Must only be me who wants two big tall physical corners rather than munnerlyn who gets burned by Ryan tannehill with ease and anybody else who wants to just toss it over his small body. Seattles corners make us look like we play with two of the smurfs back there.

88!!

[Cary Kollins]

madden doesn't just pass out 88 OVR like flapjacks or something

[panthers55]

I think we can find better guys reasonably priced in free agency.  This is just the beginning.  There will a bunch more guys released in the next month and again after the draft.

[panther4life]

For those saying 1 year deal....do you realize it doesn't make a difference if its a 5 year deal as long as there's no signing bonus or guaranteed salary in the future?

Going against Matt Ryan everyday wouldn't reveal a tendency or two that AS could exploit or share with the rest of the D?
