Panthers Hosting CB Asante Samuel Jr. For Visit

Samuel Jr. underwent neck surgery in April and now appears ready to sign with another team. 

Matt Schneidman reported yesterday that the Packers are looking into signing Samuel, but there was “nothing definitive” on a deal. 

Back in May, Jeremy Fowler reported that Samuel visited with the Saints and had a check-up in early July. 

Samuel, 25, is the son of former NFL CB Asante Samuel and opted out of the 2020 collegiate season after eight games at Florida State. The Chargers drafted Samuel Jr. with pick No. 47 overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. 

Samuel played out the final year of his four-year deal worth $7,222,944 that included a $2,613,050 signing bonus. He’s been testing the market as an unrestricted free agent. 

In 2024, Samuel appeared in four games for the Chargers and recorded 13 tackles, no interceptions and two pass defenses.
