IF Asante leaves...
 

I think we should pick up Marcus Trufant. i saw somewhere that he was an unrestricted FA....

Re: IF asante leaves...
 

It is a good suggestion, but for what Trufant will cost we might as well
pay a little extra and resign Asante !

Re: IF asante leaves...
 

what do you mean if?:) i would say assante is already packing. i also think trufant is looking for big bucks.

Re: IF asante leaves...
 

he had a better season then samuel he will want just as much as samuel it will never heppen look for us to get ty law if he will take less money if not we will pick up some vet and add a 3ard or 4th round CB from the draft

Bot happening with MT...Asante wants teh big bicks...not happening here..I had hoped he might stay, but he's going for the green...

Re: IF asante leaves...
 

I haven't paid any attention to Samuel ... he's not coming back IMO.

Re: IF asante leaves...
 

Yeah, let him go. Hes looking for the 80+ million Nate Clements contract.I have a feeling after he gets paid his productivity will drop....Dont get me wrong, I love Asante for what hes contributed to our team, but I think hes out of his mind. Let some other team pay Asante $80 million, because Id be outraged if the Pats did. IMHO, the only corner the NFL right now worth a huge contract like that is Antonio Cromartie. Its also highly unlikely that Seattle wont franchise Trufant. I'm hoping for the Pats to trade down that #1 pick and nab a decent corner mid first round. As a poster said on an earlier forum, Id also prefer that to be Jenkins, Cason, or McKelvin...and not Talib. Talib best in cover2 and the others better for Zone. I really like Antoine Cason.

I don't think this is a question of "IF." Asante Samuel is going to get a lot of money--and, more money than the Pats will pay--to play somewhere else next season.

Re: IF Asante leaves...
 

i guess the IF could be subsituited with WHEN...but i was under the impression that trufant might come a little cheaper considering he isnt has high profile/ didnt play for the patriots...

Yea, let's sink big bucks into a cover 2 DB who was exposed in every other format.
