Samuel apparently IS at the Novacare complex...aka Free Agent thread

[SD_Eagle5]

Moving Brown to safety would be a zesty move.

agreed. It would be different if had lined up at safety at any point in the last 5 years....

Not to beat a dead horse, but they had better be dealing Lito for a stud WR if (when) they sign Samuel.  I am not a big Samuel fan at all.

co-sizzle....lito is as good or better than samuel...fair point to say that lito gets hurt to much but is 25-30 mil sb worth paying a guy because your current all pro caliber guy might get hurt

you pay major bucks to upgrade from kevin curtis to roy williams or fitzy...not lito sheppherd to samuel

I don't know what co-sizzle means but I agree with the rest of your post %100.

I don't know what co-sizzle means

One person dictated the interest in Samuel...Plaxico Burress.

Neither one of Brown or Sheppard can cover Burress, and you have to face him (at least) twice a year.

It should be noted that Samuel was in on multiple plays in the Super Bowl that would have sealed victory for the Patriots.  So, he'll fit in perfectly with the Eagles!

[ice grillin you]

an injured burress ate up samuel in the game at ny this year and its not like samuel has size to match up with him

I don't like this move at all... Why pay so much for something you don't really need...

im on the side of most people re: this move but does anyone else find it hysterical that the eagles could sign the number one free agent player on the market and the fanbase is upset

It's because CB isn't the #1 need of the team.  We can only hope/assume that the Eagles have had talks with either the Lions or Cardinals about trading Lito and draft picks for one of their recievers and that an outline for a deal is already in place. 

[Phanatic]

Hopefully he plays better in JJs system but he has a tendancy to get burned on big plays and he's going to make a lot of money and take up cap space.

FA is not like it used to be when studs like Reggie White, Keith Jackson, and Keith Byars would be on the move.
