Just as the post states do you think the front office is actually looking at 08 as if Assante could be part of the grand scheme?

nope.

Maybe there's an offer out there but I'd bet their energy is directed in areas where they have better odds of success.

i think so..why wouldnt they be trying to make offers and trying to work something out? they arent just gonna lay down and let him walk

The real question is whether Asante would give the Pats a final chance to match or up the offer he gets from another team. This was something Vinatieri did not do and why he was villified by many fans.

If they are it must be like that scene from Jerry Maguire with Samuel shouting "Show me the money!"

The kid is going to absolutely rake, both Trufant and Asomugha were franchised so Samuel is far and away the best CB, and he is young and he is good.

The Pats got 5 very productive years out of him, pretty good score for a 4th round pick. It would have been nice if they had drafted his replacement in 06 or 07 but lets hope they hit the jackpot again this year.

I doubt it. He is going to see how much money teams throw his way, sign with the highest bidder and like that... he's gone.

Unless he is signing with a superbowl contender, he should at least ask the Pats if they want to match. But seeing how much Nate Clemens got last year (8yrs 80 Million), and Samuel is a clearly a better CB than Nate, the money will be too much to match for him to come back.

I'd like to trade for a cornerback like a deangelo hall who i believe can be a upgrade.

Didn't he say that it was, on a scale of 1-10, a 10 that he'd return? I obviously think it's more of a 1, but I do think that indicates some kind of communication... at least til he signs with someone for the most money.

BradyFTW!

Could be wrong, but I thought it was a 10 that he'd like to return, with it being implied that that was if they offered him the right amount. If I'm the pats' FO, I make him my best offer (7m per year or so?) right off the bat and, if he doesn't take it, I stop wasting my time.

Oh ok, that makes sense. Yea I agree with your post. I just feel like his price is going to be way too high. He hasn't hid what he's looking for so I don't think there's gonna be much leeway on negotiating, and the kinda contracts he's gonna get...id be shocked if he returns.
