Eagles willing to take less for Samuel

He's been discounted and put on the clearance rack!

None of the remaining money on his contract is guaranteed money. All teams have to do is wait. The Eagles are hoping for something in return , anything. Their only other options are to keep him, not likely, or cut him.

Boring. How many threads are we going to have about an overpaid DB who isn't play so well?

This guy is on the downside of his career. Maybe Dan Snyder would trade for him.

Now you know why:

The Eagles have committed $127 million to next years, 2013, salary cap, They would be most likely at or near the cap if they do nothing in the off season and the Eagles defense is 80% free agents. They are lousy drafters for defense. They know they have to move some big contracts or release guys next year.
Here are some of salaries for next year:

Vick $17.9 million
DeShean Jackson $9 million
Jason Peters $10.7 million
Nnamdi $15.3 million
The front four on defense is due a total of $20 million

Ya get the idea. Samual and his $11 million is not an option. It is win now for the Eagles and a whole lot of changes in 2013.

SeSean McCoy is NOT signed for 2013. That is a big reason they will need a lot of cap room.

Stu..........Tell me how you really feel with your new avatar and name.............

I am angry beyond measure that next year I will not be able to watch one of the greatest QBs of all time wearing the horseshoe. I really wish that the Colts were on Denver's schedule. Maybe next year. I'd love to see Peyton stick it to 'em.

I also think we have several years of bad football before the Colts are good again.

Yeah, but is he worth waiting for? He didn't play as well in 2011, shies from tackling and shoot his mouth off. Hated the acquisition of Rogers-Cromartie and Asomugha. I wouldn't want him in my clubhouse at any price.

I gotta agree. Green Bay did well to draft when they did and allow an intelligent rookie to sit and learn. He showed a lot of patience and class and it paid huge dividends. As much grief as that organization's management took about doing little in free agency, they showed their smarts. Irsay and Polian and Dungee didn't spend a lot of time looking to the future and now the team and fans have to suffer through some tough years. They did that briefly when Manning was drafted but you'd think people would learn.

They're starting to remind me a bit of the Skins the way they handle their roster. I think Andy started out well enough and has become impatient. He should have grown impatient a few years back when McNabb couldn't get them over the hump.

McNabb stated recently that he belongs in the HOF. NOt sure why, but he is sure of it.

He never liked contact much. don't know why any team would pay much in a draft pick or pick up anything near the money he thinks he is worth.

Not sure what the issue is, he like anyone else can driver over to the HOF pay his fee and go on in. Only way he will get in btw.

They should probably drug test him.

Exactly. Assante may have been a ball hawk when was in New England, but his poor tackling was the reason Belichick was not going to pay him megabucks. Letting a sure game clinching INT go through his hands in the SB certainly sealed the deal although I don't think BB would have paid up even if he made that play. Lawyer Milloy would probably agree with me.
