If he is coming in next week, why on get in this week, or last week, so he can be at full speed for the season. He IS NOT going to be at full speed for the season opener. So to my way of thinking he is getting a $500,000 game check under false pretenses. In fact it will be unlikely that Samuel will be ready to step into the starting lineup until the 4th of 5th game.
Its unlikely to effect whether the Pats win or lose, but it dimishes Samuel in my eyes. I had no problem with his holdout, even if it went to 10 games. He is a FA and has that right. However by coming in now he takes the money, but without providing the services. He's a fraud in my eyes now. It will be hard to root for him in the same way again.

I was thinking something similar, but a lot depends on just what shape he is in. It isn't as if Samuel is unfamiliar with the scheme. I would say that he is a starter by game three at worst. And he will almost certainly be a contributor on day one as long as he shows up at the beginning of the week.

I think you just answered your own question. It's only natural for him to try to extract a small pound of flesh rather than just slink back with his tail between his legs. He was not under contract, he was under no obligation to return sooner.
This is EXACTLY when I expected him back. I get where you're coming from, but it truly doesn't bother me.

Samuel will start whenever the staff feels he's the best man for the job. Not a second sooner.
