Philadelphia Eagles sign Asante Samuel...and other NFL news...

Giants lost 2 LBs, Kiwaka Mitchell to Buffalo, Reggie Tobor to Miami and S Gibril Wilson to Oakland. Not worth what they are getting.

 

Supposedly, Philadelphia is shopping Lito. Rumors have been floating in the air with Arizona and Philadelphia. It's rumored to have Lito and Fitzgareld trading places, but I highly doubt it will happen because Fitzgareld would then be required to restructure his contract in Philadelphia, and if he doesn't want to restructure in Arizona, what makes Philly think he will restructure there?

I also agree that Samuel is over-rated. He's been a product of Belichick's system, and I highly doubt he is worth what he thought he was.

Thanks for that, Mr. Obvious.

 

Sean Rogers-to-Cincy trade blows up.

If he is on the Lions' roster as of 12:01 a.m. 3/1/08, he is due a roster bonus of $1,000,000.

 

At 5 years/$17 million, Mitchell's a solid upgrade over Ellison/Wire/DiGiorgio/other at WLB. Bills are also reportedly trying to work out a deal with JAX for Marcus Stroud, to plug into the gaping hole in the middle of their run defense.

Parcells isn't wasting any time in Miami, is he?

 

To be clear, whoever's roster he is on as of 12:01am, 3/1/08 is responsible for that $1 million bonus.

 

So undoubtedly the assembled NFL GMs, in their quest to lend hail-fellow-well-met Matt Millen a friendly helping hand, will be eager to seal that deal by midnight.

 

Most predictable post of the day.

And if he'd re-signed with the Pats he would have been the greatest corner in the league, right?

 

And why can't guys just say it was about the money? Just once? Just say you went to the highest bidder.

Instead we get tripe like this:

"I just want a chance to be able to win and get back to the Super Bowl," Samuel said. "That's why I picked the Philadelphia Eagles."

Says the guy who just left A TEAM THAT WON ITS FIRST 18 GAMES AND HAS MADE THE SUPER BOWL FOUR TIMES IN SEVEN YEARS.

Now Rogers may be going to Cleveland for Leigh Bodden and a third-round pick.

 

Fat Albert is an upgrade over Dwayne Robertson.

 

Yeah ... Philly is going to break the bank for a mediocre cornerback. : Are those fanboy glasses super-glued to your ears?

 

Hey, heeey, heeeey ... Bill Cosby would be proud.
