Here's an interesting tidbit:
If it is true that he dumped his agent (or at least his advice) and came in on his own, that goes far in my eyes. I've always felt that, like the Deion Branch episode, when the contract negotiations are carried out in the press, its the agent who is benefiting - not the client. Props for Asante for recognizing the position he was in and taking charge of his situation.

Other agents privately wondered what kind of advice he was receiving from representative Alonzo Shavers, but in truth, it appeared Samuel struck out on his own. When Shavers was reached last weekend to confirm a report that Samuel would be back with the Patriots this week, he said he didn’t know.
