Expect Samuel in camp (after two weeks) - New England Patriots Forums

Tomase was no Felger's show today...and said that someone close to Samuel expects him to be in Camp after two weeks. Good news if this is true.

I think the Herald reported this last weekend, just before the franchise tag deadline.

Thanks for the heads up.. But I would feel better if it came from Reiss..
At least it didn't come from Felger.. Has he cracked a story that has ever come true? I still remember him reporting a contract with Ted Washington.. After the fact is wasn't going to happen..

Some of you guys are amazingly tough on Tomase. The guy hustles his ass off, gets exclusives as much as, if not more than, Reiss (fan boys just don't always LIKE what exclusives he reports) and yet somehow, every time, Tomse's met with skepticism.

Remember how so many here claimed Tomase was wrong about Bruschi's (and Hobbs's) schaphoid bone?

I like Tomase myself although I know many don't.

Regarding Samuel - whatever, as long as he's in camp, in shape and playing hard by opening day all is good.

If the Pats can get Asante into camp by the time the season starts, play the season with him, TAG HIM AGAIN and then deal him for #1, that'd be an amazingly good outcome.

I'd take that scenario with a #2 instead of a #1. We could probably do better than a #2 but I'd take that scenario right now.

That not really a surprise to me.............. I figured (and have heard it stated here and elsewhere) that that makes the most sense.

Get to camp after the 2-a-days, but still with plenty of time to get into the scheme of things to angle himsefl into position to have another "contract" year.

Makes the most sense to me.

Agreed...makes sense to me..I HOPE he is in camp..that means he will have plenty of time to get with the team program..I LIKE it. And who knows about next year..

i hate how it's never Asante that makes these statements. nevertheless, i guess we can breathe a bit easier when he isn't there this friday
