"ESPN's Adam Schefter said on SportsCenter Monday that the Eagles' asking price for Asante Samuel "isn't very much at this point."
Schefter also reiterated that the Eagles want this deal done before the draft. The latest reports out of Philly suggest they'd accept a conditional fifth-round pick, and Schefter has said the Eagles probably won't net more than a sixth-rounder. Because Samuel controls his contract, however, he has a large amount of say in where he goes. He'll have to restructure for a deal to happen. Apr 23 - 10:44 AM"
The Patriots don't have a pick past the 4th round this year, but if the Eagles will ultimately accept a sixth rounder this year, the equivalent might be a fifth rounder in 2013. If you're NE, and can get Samuel to restructure his contract (currently it's set for $8.4 million in 2012 and $10.4 million in 2013) - i.e., he restructures at a very reduced rate - would you trade your 2013 5th rounder for Samuel?
I don't think he's as good as he once was, but he's probably still significantly better than what they currently have. If the price wasn't that high, would it be worth it to you? Or would you rather skip that altogether and just go with what you have and use a draft pick on a CB?
