re: Thoughts on the Falcons acquiring Asante Samuel?

1) He's a good pickup for Atlanta assuming they don't give anything higher than a 5th or 6th rd pick for him.

2) Grimes just signed his franchise contract yesterday. So IF this deal goes through you'd have Grimes and Asante. Along with DeCoud and probably Dunta this makes a good secondary package. Not the best in the league but definitely improved.

but I don't know of many teams who trade away their best corner for a late pick...you know, before they cut him.

But wait, wasn't Lofton Atlanta's best LB? When the Saints got him it was like y'all raided and pillaged Atlanta and stole him?!
Hi Pot. I iz Kettle.

ETA:
He never looked good last year in Philly so he's either old and lost a few steps, didn't care or they had an odd secondary package with all those "super stars" back there.
