I can't get in touch with my source.

He was the one who told me about Kearse first thing in the morning before that news broke in 2004.

I think the time to bitch about the Eagles not making enough offseason moves is when it's clear that they aren't going to make any more big moves. Even if the Eagles got Samuel that wouldn't necessarily prevent them from taking advantage of some other opportunities this offseason.

If the Eagles are getting Samuel, and that's it in terms of big changes, then we'll have plenty of months to bitch about it once it becomes obvious the team has not substantially improved. Seems way premature to bitch about that right after they get Samuel, or before things are even confirmed with Samuel like tonight. The Eagles offseason doesn't end a minute after Samuel signs. If it becomes clear that the Eagles think that one move is all they needed, I'll be the first one to pounce on them. Until then, I recommend chilling out a little bit.

The St. Petersburg Times "has it on good authority" that free agent Asante Samuel will sign with the Eagles.
In the last hour, there were all kinds of unsubstantiated reports coming out of Philly that the sides have a deal in place. The Birds may wait a few more hours or (ugh) until tomorrow to announce the agreement formally.

worst picture ever on PE.com right now.

That jersey that says"Free Agency" on the back is just awful.

Yeah that's piss poor. Plus the picture is ambiguous as hell. I can't even tell if that's a black or white guy. Reminds me of my namesake's face from Tecmo Super Bowl.

You know how they like to put on that afternoon show at the NCC. It wouldn't shock me one bit if the Eagles had a deal in place at 12:02am, and say nothing officially until 2pm tomorrow when they trot out Samuel to hold up an Eagles jersey.

[The BIGSTUD]

Uh oh.

Mark Eckel said someone in the know texted him and said it was a done deal too.

He said he himself doesn't know personally though. So maybe the Eckel jinx doesn't count here.

And I thought they would have Samuels signed by now....
