The Falcons have released CB Asante Samuel and LB Stephen Nicholas today: Falcons Release Samuel, Nicholas

Anybody? No?

 

[letekro]

No idea if he can still play, but in any event, he can't play man, so no.

 

[chasa]

id take him for vet minimum, he would make for a nice depth player

 

[JackBauer]

I don't think we need any more crappy tacklers on the squad.

 

[resdubwhite]

The ghost of Superbowls past.

 

[Danger Zone]

I don't think we need any more crappy tacklers on the squad.

Or ones with "Get Paid" tattoos..

..or ones who can't catch easy game-ending interceptions in Superbowls..

..to say nothing of the ones utterly blowing their man coverage on a game-ending down in Superbowls.

 

[Snake Eyes]

How about Sidney Rice, he's going to be released?

 

[patsinthesnow]

On the topic of cap casualties, I don't think we have room for Samuel even on a vet min deal. He wouldn't want to be a CB5.

However, I hope Miles Austin and Sidney Rice are eventually cut before FA. Both would be relatively cheap, glass WRs. Might as well take a chance on one of them.

Dude made lots of coin...between $50-60 mill. Ring + coin.

 

[chasa]

theres not going to be anything cheap about miles austin.

also we dont need any more receivers(top 5 offense last year), we need offensive line and defense.

Miles Austin? Unless it was for a vet minimum, and he would be coming in to be the number 2 or 3 WR, I don't think you put any eggs in that basket.

 

[mayoclinic]

Anybody? No?

He can't play, he was always soft, and that ship sailed long ago. We went through the same discussion 2 years ago before Philadelphia traded him to Atlanta for a song.

 

[signbabybrady]

Hell no. I would rather Arrington. And any money that would be used on Asante should be used on Talib.

 

[mayoclinic]

Hell no. I would rather Arrington.

Sad but true.

 

[Deus Irae]

32 and coming off of a down season is not where you want to be as an NFL cornerback.

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

No, no, no! especially after he slacked off on that David Tyree circus catch, and that interception drop that would have given us true immortality.

 

[goheels22002]

Anybody? No?

Right on, Dude. Cassell's available, Seymour and Donte Stallworth are free agents, Moss can still get 15 TDs, the Broncos will cut Welker and his $8 million cap hit loose. It's 2007 all over again. Kevin Faulk can roll us a medical marijuana bone and the band will be back together. Yo' anybody got Ellis Hobbs on speed dial?

Yeesh.

 

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

past the expiration date

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

Asante should get paid somewhere...unemployment.

 

[BradyFTW!]

He doesn't really fit the model of CBs that the Patriots are looking for nowadays, and he isn't the player that he used to be. Might be worth a look, but his prospects aren't looking good.
