Its a reasonable trade idea.
Except one thing.

Chilli and the boyz wouldn't go for it.

BB, normally I agree with you on this, however, I am not so sure the org wouldn't at this point.

They have shown a willingness to jettison players no matter how important/significant the are to the team.

Yes and we have seen the same with NWE

Yeah my opinion is based on who the guy coming in is more then anything.


The guy this guy represents.

He also won’t be in Foxboro today for the team’s mandatory minicamp, his agent said last night.



“He’s not coming to camp until a contract resolution can be reached,” agent Alonzo Shavers said. “Nothing more can be said. His status has not changed. There has been no movement toward a deal.”

What make's it reasonable?? His Madden rating??

Honestly I dont really care cause its not gonna happen because of his attitude, but his good year happened to be last year, and he sure looked plenty good.

Hes young of course and hes progressing...

Year Team G Solo Ast TTL Sack Yds Yd/Sk Int
2003 NE
16 29 5 34 0 0 0.0 2
2004 NE
13 37 2 39 0 0 0.0 1
2005 NE

2006 NE

and its comparable to where Winfield was at his first years.

Winfield is at his peak, while it looks like Samuel is rising.
Thats Chilly's motto right?

The "guy coming in" blew off a teammate's funeral because he's pissed about earning his money.

You want that kind of selfish jackass on the Vikings' roster?

[size=10pt]A[/size] - men to that.......

On defense especially, you absolutely NEED players to put the team above themselves.
I don't want some cocky DB (douchebag not defensive back) going for a solo tackle instead of sealing off or trying to go for a homerun interception rather than just cover his man and make the simple tackle.

Where does it say he didnt go to the funeral because of his contract dispute?

well he is ding what he feels is right now I just wanna say he will be a premier corner behind Champ Bailey,Ty Law.He is gonna continue to be a terror in and defensive secondary,Be it New England or where ever he may wind up.

MMLV

It's funny that players like Ty Law, Deion Branch, and Asante think they can play hardball with Kraft, Bellicheck and the Pats.
He will be another decent player that they won't think twice about dropping.
I respect the Pats front office for their refusal to deal with these type of issues.
If I was a starting corner on the Pats, I would be excited about getting the chance to play for another Super Bowl contender and not try to play hardball with the Pats.

Fuck the Putzies!!!
I hope that there is serious malcontent on their team in the future...Kraft is an asshole and so is Belichick!
They got enough rings...time for some new blood!

Both Billy B.
and Kraft are real Donkey butt's but let's keep it real, I would much rather have both in Winter Park then Childress and the Zyg-Zag man.
We don't want to go back and think about the Monday Night Massacre last year at the Dome between NE and the Purple. . . .

Patriots owner Bob Kraft chartered a plane to take the ENTIRE team down for the funeral.
Randy Moss went.
Randy Moss never played a single second of football with Marquise Hill, but he went.

Asante Samuel did not go.
He did not take the free plane ride offered to him by his team owner to go to the funeral of a defensive teammate he has played alongside for the past 3 seasons.

I'm sure he had a really good reason - needed to take his kids to see Shrek 3 or something.
It couldn't have been his contract dispute.
Nope.

FOXBORO - Asante Samuel [stats] has a solid case for seeking a cash bonanza from the Patriots [team stats]: If they won’t pay him what he wants, he knows other teams will.
