Not that I know of. Individual awards help, but not team awards like the Super Bowl. Don't know for sure since the formula for determining compensatory draft picks are not actually known for sure. Him making the Pro Bowl should increase the value of the pick though.

Here's hoping he returns two picks to the house for SB MVP, hehe

Isn't understanding what one of the most basic coverages calls for a requisate for evaluating tallent?

It is what it is with Asante. He was a 4th rounder, didn't get the 1st rounder money to start out with, took a 9 million 1 year deal and then cashed in his chips. He's a 60 million dollar 6 picks a year corner who will give up the big play and can't play man.

I guess in today's game, having good ball skills will get you 60 mil.

The formula for determining picks is a secret, but the consensus view seems to be player performance, including awards, and team success are factors.

And Asante's tattoo says "Get Rich To This," supposedly in reference to a song, as has been stated and restated every time the issue is mentioned. That misunderstanding does not mean "Get Paid" is not his personal motto.

I am hoping Boldin and Fitzgerald make him look like a juggling clown out there today as that should put an end to these threads. He had 4 interceptions over 16 games in the regular season while "getting paid" $9.3 million a year and showed up in the post-season after the Bucs helped him to get there. His apologists somehow overlook that fact of late after labeling him the Eagles' white knight. More kneejerk responses that would not have come but for post-season interceptions.

I join those voting to send this tired topic to the minors.

Samuel is getting paid as if he's the best cornerback in the NFL, and is making more money than Randy Moss this year. Some of us think that he's a good cornerback who's not worth that amount of money. If that's "haters" in your mind, you really need to change your interpretation of the definition.

Of course he had way too many PI penalties - definitely not worth top 5 CB money.............


I've heard it all here. You guys basically think Pioli and Belichick made the right decisions - let him walk after agreeing not to franchise him........personally this is the big day tomorrow's NFCCG- he lines up against the games 2nd or 3rd best young dynamic receiver on the big stage.

I guess we should find out.

After seeing that Youtube of Deltha jamming at the LOS, I kind of wish they dished out the 10M per year for Asante. The judgement will be tomorrow.
Thanks for the YouTube. The INT he missed wasn't that easy. Comparison with Buckner is ludicrous. BTW, peas roll off a knife, Pees coaches for the Patriots.

Everyone wishes we had Samuel but he is what he is. He's great at guessing and jumping routes, he also gets beaten and sometimes is made to pay for it; like on the first pass last week that Ellie missed for a sure TD.

Let it go. They should have won 2 more SB's with him on the team. Poor drafting cost them the game in Indy and AS had a shot at closing the game in Phoenix last year. He played well and helped the team win. Time to move on and concentrate on the future stars of the D.
