Eagles Out Of Samuel Race? Plan B. Cromartie And Wilson

Numerous sources have reported the Saints have a verbal agreement with Asante Samuel. I believe it due to the fact they have more of a need at corner and more cap room than the Eagles. Plus the Eagles need to add a true #1 WR. Now whats next for the Birds? They seem close to signing S Gibril Wilson and they will target a nickel CB and someone to fill in for often injured Probowl corner Lito Sheppard. The #19 pick will be 6'2" 4.33 CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. finally a corner tall enough to cover Plaxico! If he turns out like his cousin (Whos a mirror image of him on the field) Antonio Cromartie, Eagles fans can expect to have a big time playmaker at corner for years to come.

The Future of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie...

	DRC dominated every facet of the combine. NFL Total Access called DRC "The Performer OF The Combine".

	That would be a great long term upgrade at CB. I love his size. I'm also not sad that we won't be signing Samuel's, I don't want to be held hostage to that kind on cap number

	At 185lbs!!!!!!! He's not PHYSICAL enough!!!! Give him a few years to add some weight, then we could compare him to his cousin!!!

	NFL players add 20 pounds like we tie our shoes. Not my biggest concern. He'll learn to hit if he gets in Eagles camp with B-Dawk, Sheldon and Jim Johnson.

	I think drafting Cromartie is a better move than signing Samuel. I think Cromartie is going to be great. He looks like Bobby Taylor coming out of college but more athletic. We need a tall corner. I hope we draft him.

	somebody to cover Plaxico would be great.

	if samuel would sign for 10mil or less which seems unlikely i say sign him if he wants more then go pick up wilson and i wouldnt have any problem with them picking cromartie at 19 in the draft only thing is after cromartie's performance at the combine i think he has jumped up and will be gone inside the top 10.

	OK so on Saints radio today around 6ish the Executive Vice President/General Manager Mickey Loomis said on the show that they have never ever spoken to Samuel or any1 related with him. They have no idea why that rumor is going around. So either they are just keeping it under raps or all you Eagle fans can get ya hopes up again or stop dissing him. Hes the best CB in the League for the past 2 years. Only reason why he gets to ask for so much is cuz the 49ers are dumb and gave an overrated CB too much money and he did crap for them. He did crap for Buffalo too. So there ya go

	Asante Samuel. 16 interceptions in the last 2 years. Shledon Brown and Lito Sheppard combined for 5 interceptions. last season. People can say whatever they want about getting Asante Samuel but I'll point that out everytime. Why wouldn't the Eagles try to sign an interception machine?

	go after pacman jones eagles please and draft DRC

	PACMAN I will keep saying the eagles need to get him.

	The Eaglesa are a character first team. Why would they sign a short criminal?

	fuck asante you really think we should blow our whole free agency on a corner with a draft so heavy with them we have the ability to make more interceptions with a rookie and beefed up pass rush wideout and defensive end samuels can goto some team who can afford to waste 10 mill next year i want to wim a superbowl and you wont do that with a few extra interceptions
