I know Samuel is the sexy pick for fans that want to show they're more knowledgable about the game to go with the defensive player but let's get serious. Also, remember Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, etc.? I think Belioli has already shown that they consider these types to be role players rather than "skill" players and they have no problem letting the former go if the price is too high. Branch is a different story because he wasn't the talent that Brady made him look like and they knew it. Plus Samuel is great in our system and is smart at jumping routes, but I'm fairly confident most of that is coaching v. raw skill and we could replace him. If Moss wants some ridiculous contract let him go, but if he really wants to be a Patriot, pay thyat myan his myoney.

Right, Samuel is a role player....that's why he's making $8m this year??? Also, I think saying he is "smart at jumping routes" is unfair - if that were the extent of it, we would see him getting beat deep. That just doesn't seem to happen much.
