Default Asante Samuel Interview

I'm not sure if this has been posted but it's an interview with Samuel. He talks a lot about the contract negotiations and gives his side. I must say he does not sound like the type to play it cool and come in to camp. We will see...

He really didn't say much about what was being done that he plans to stick by his words and hold out it was mostly double talk.

My favorite part was when he said he was better than Champ Bailey

Doesn't bother me at all because some people don't understand the business side of it. They don't understand what I'm really going through. They see the money I'm supposed to be getting and say, "Wow, that's a lot of money." But they don't know I could have went out and got three to four times that. They just don't understand that.
This one caught my attention.

Good to see hes not out on the street, looks like its tough for him with that rookie minimum hes been living off for 4 years.

The bitterness here is funny. People pretend they understand "the business", but we fans aren't analysts, we're invested in the team doing the best it can and we don't care what these athletes make. I hope Asante comes back, but best of luck to him either way.

sitting at home watching his son play football, i wouldnt call that a smart family man, especially if he could go to work and make 8 million for his family, let him sit, we have depth, if he wants to come in for the playoff push great , we can then use the 5 million for cap space this year and next

It's like when people go on strike. They're standing up for what they feel is right. ..Comparing what he is doing to people on strike??? VERY poor analogy...His other statement about 3-4 times that is really typical... and teh interviewee??? She was on EWSPN this afteroon complaining about the Frabchise tag..frankly she s*** as an interviewer..and as far as her opinion goes..she's totally pitiful...I haye Bayliss and he was right on this...which is unusual. I don't think we Asanate for awhile...and when he returns he's irrelevent..

In the end, I don't see him sitting out all 10 weeks or whatever. It still hasn't hit the point of Deion Branch or Ty Law a few years back.
