Samuel To Visit Today

On the first night of free agency, FOXsports.com is reporting the top free agent will be in Philly. Star New England Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel will visit, presumably to sign a contract. Several news outlets report that the two sides already have a deal in place. At 27, Samuel is just hitting the prime of his career. Samuel is a playmaker, something the defense sorely needs. He picked off 22 passes since being drafted out of the 4th round before the ‘03 season. Samuel rarely misses time with injury. If signed, he would make a good addition to the defense.
