Sal Pal: Eagles To Pursue Samuel?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Sal was apparently saying on ESPN this morning that the Birds and Jets will go after Samuel.

Interesting if true.

I was all for bringing in a solid nickel guy, but who does Samuel replace? The oft-injured Sheppard? Or does he replace Sheldon and then we'll get to hear one of 'em demand a trade. Or does Sheldon move to safety like many have said over the last couple of years?

[SD_Eagle5]

I'm all for adding Samuel but his contract demands are going to be large. Lito can't stay healthy, they don't have a good nickel corner, and Sheldon can play safety, so there are a lot of options. I'd rather the money go towards a WR or DE.
A few days ago I was watching NFL Live and I could have sworn the Pats told Samuel they would sign him to a long term deal....

Sal Pal's a moron.

If you're getting this from the EMB topic, it said Sal Pal "thinks" they'll go after them.

Why would the Jets go after him? They have Revis, Dyson, Miller, and Barrett. Miller has supposedly been a disappointment at corner but they're (probably) not going to get rid of him because he's one of the best returners in the league. I don't see them spending that much money on a corner when they have so many other needs.

if they got the money to make the move do it. as long as they got the dough left for a big time receiver

yeah i heard this too during sportscenter this morning.

mangini supposedly has a very close relationship with samuels and would love to add him opposite revis. and then they will pick up mcfadden with the #6 pick if he falls to them. all speculation though.

as for the eagles sal pal just said the eagles would be interested. probably means nothing since im 100% sure they would not pay him anything close to what he wants and that would something more than san fran paid clements.

i would love samuels but how logical is it to move sheldon to safety? and forget about adding any type of WR outside of a draft pick if the eagles sign samuels.

if they are going to spend the big bucks i would hope they try to sign suggs or allen and then target a quality 3rd corner in the draft.

[pinoyboy2pt0]

agreed sal pal is a retard.

the one position we can draft pretty damn well at, we go after in fa to allow us to select another below avg. player.  i'd rather concentrate our efforts in fa at a position we suck ass at drafting than the other way around.  plus he'll command waaay more than nate's contract.  this is supposed to be a nice class for cb's and s's too.

[Rome]

Dumb.

[The BIGSTUD]

I can't see them spending that much money on a CB when they have far other pressing needs. CB is a need, but it isn't a max contract type of need. They need a nice nickel corner, they don't need Samuel.

Then again, maybe the Eagles want to add defensive playmakers and figure no big-time DEs will hit the market

Doubt it will happen, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.  Just to have some fun with it, I imagine there'd be some interesting packages that would put Samuel opposite Lito, put Sheldon free and let Dawkins play strong.  If the front seven could get any kind of pressure, that would be a pretty sweet backfield.

You agreed with me and used the quote function correctly?

Who hacked IGY's account?

pretty much my thoughts, that's not how I would choose to spend the money, but I'm not going to complain about an obvious upgrade to this team.

If they were to go get Samuel, ^^this^^ is exactly what they should do.  Of course, I think there are other areas that need to be addressed first before going after Samuel but I wouldn't be disappointed in the signing.

Why didn't you just say "What Troy said ^^" and save the finger fatigue?
