Don't get me wrong, I want Asante Samuels as much as the next philly fan; but, I've been hearing that Asante made a verbal agreement with the Saints. This could very well be true; the Saints desperately need help with their secondary. But, I think the Saints are cheap bastards (they traded stallworth for a the grade A bum that is,
Mark Simoneau) so I don't know if they're willing to put up that much money for asante. Then again...the eagles are cheap bastards too, but I think we're getting into the mode that the Pats got into last offseason, the "fuck our morals, let's just get some players who can take us to the bowl" mode (atleast I'm hoping we're getting into that mode). But if all the Asante rumors turn out to be false or we just can't pay the money Asante wants (100 mill, 10 years) we need to atleast get someone else in that secondary (Juselio Hanson ain't cuttin' it). My suggestion is a veteran corner who's got playoff expierence,
Ty Law. Word is he's going to get cut (see the ESPN link) and I think we should pick him up, not as a first priority but he would work with us. I know he's old but I think he's got atleast two years left in the tank, one year definately. The only concern I'd have is that Ty might think he's got five years left in the tank and ask for a shitload more money than we're willing to give him, but I think he knows his time as a 10-interceptions-in-one-season days are over and won't ask for an insane amount of money. But Ty in a birds jersey would be a good thing to see.
