The Philadelphia Eagles score a huge free agent pick up by signing the best cornerback in the market right now in Asante Samuels. The Patriots are known for getting rid of play-makers on defense in the secondary and Samuels is another casualty of the system. He is a great play maker and one of the better cover corners available although Patriot fans are still reeling from his easy pick that would have won them the Super Bowl.
For the Eagles, this means a talented secondary in Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, and Asante Samuel. Sheppard’s status with the team is still up in the air as he is reported as being unhappy about his contract and may look to be traded. If the Eagles keep him, they would have to move him to another position but would also give them great multi-receiver pass coverage. This is a great free agent signing for the Eagles. Now only if they can pick up some offensive talent. Hey Eagles, I think Chad Johnson is being shopped around.
