Asante Samuel, Possible Bears Target?

PrintAfter finishing 28th in the NFL against the pass and with three guys headed to free agency, the Chicago Bears will be in the market for a corner this offseason. In fact, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune says they'll probably need to add two or three corners this offseason. Now, typically a team running a cover-2 scheme like Lovie Smith goes for better tacklers over cover guys, but their poor performance this season could lead them to a tweak of that philosophy.
If that were the case, they may have interest in the Eagles' Asante Samuel.
Samuel is expected to be on his way out one way or the other, but the most preferred exit would be one that returns some value to the Eagles. So, given what Samuel is and the money he makes etc, let's make some reasonable trade offers to the Bears in the comments. Keep in mind they have an extra third round pick thanks to the Greg Olsen trade.

Trade him to the AFC please. I know it really doesn’t matter as much in football since at most the Eagles would see the Bears at least twice in the next 6 years possibly 5 times depending on how they and the Eagles finish.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
Your actually afraid to play against Asante? I would think it would give any team an advantage to run the ball on his side.

Lance Brigg
says so huh? The same Lance Briggs who has called out their front office many times for him being “under” payed? I’m sure he knows what they’re doing in the off season.
At least one more year of Andy and Juan. If they don't win it all they both better be gone!
No way Eagles draft a LB in the first round 2012.

I hate the Bears
more than any other non NFC East team.
I would hate to see one of our players go there. Ecspecially if I like said player

The Bears are my most hated team ever.
But why are we against Samuel going there? A trade would benefit both parties. The FO will only trade him if they get good value. We can’t beat the Bears with or without Samuel, and thank goodness we don’t have to play them next year.
Because it is the Bears.
Since the Fog Bowl, the Bears love trolling us. Watch… Asante Samuel interception advances the Bears to the Super Bowl over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fuck the Bears.
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
I think if we played the Bears in a NFCCG,
the game would be lost in the usual way we lose to the bears… short yardage failures near the goal line, special teams turnovers, missed tackles, penalties, bad officiating etc…
not by an Asante Samuel interception.
Samuel for Nick Roach and Amobi Okoye?
Roach as a starting SLB with some talent.

That sounds perfect since the bears are more likely to trade players than drft picks because their cap situaions is pretty bad after trying to buy a team with cutler and peppers.

As soon as I read the title I said to myself there is no way that Samuel goes there since he isn’t a right fit for their scheme. Plus, Briggs is unhappy with his contract and Samuel’s contract isn’t cheap. I doubt this happens; I’m calling either the Panthers, Bucs, or Lions.

hmmm
Let me first start off by saying player for player trades dont happen with high level players. I also think that the eagles will take no less than a 2nd for him in this yrs draft.
Panthers make sense but I have a feeling they will want to use their 2nd rd pick on offensive players for cam. Also I don’t want one of their lbs unless it is beason, never gonna happen, or connors along with a 2
The bucs are too cheap so forget it.
The lions make the most sense. Their d is pretty good and could use a playmaker in the secondary. I could see them giving a 2nd and some more late picks for asante.

given what Samuel is and the money he makes
Is that somehow implying that Asante is overpaid? Because, from what I can tell, he’s on a market rate deal.

Pile up the draft picks.
A 3 round pick from Asante. Trade up by giving up a 3rd and a 1st and get Blackmon, or Griffin.
OR
Keep the draft pick and get another player. You can never have too many draft picks. Sometimes you strike gold, sometimes you strike shit.
Done.
I think everyone should be bilateral coordinated.
Whats wrong with his contract? Its a big contract, but most great corners have big contracts.

Want a second
but a third or fourth seem likely. Like someone else said, you rarely see player for player trade with equal value.

It could be a third with incentives
Like if Asante makes x Pro Bowls, the pick escalates to a 2nd round value from a 3rd round value.
Judging by our previous 3rd round picks. I said a 2nd or no deal

I hate the Bears as much as the Cowboys...
For a non NFCE team, that’s pretty rare for me. I don’t mind where Asante goes, as long as it isn’t an NFCE team or the Bears. They always seem to give us nightmares for Christ’s sake..

If it’s for picks, then I’m thinking something like a 2012 fourth round pick and a conditional 2013 2nd or 3rd Round pick.
If it’s for players, there isn’t a whole lot of options. Maybe Roach and a very low pick (read: 6th).

eagles will not trade him for less than a 2nd

Trade Reid for a 1st and 2nd.

You know how stupid you sound? Samuel was our best CB this year no matter how you slice or dice it. He was also one the best in the NFL this year with only Revis been clearly better.

In exchange I want Briggs, Urlacher, Forte and Hester, deal?

on a serious note, I would do Samuel+a pick for Briggs.
by Anders Jensen on Jan 17, 2012 9:40 PM EST up reply actions
No to Briggs
Seriously, the guy is like 30 and a bad scheme fit. Also, I’m pretty sure we’d have to throw in at LEAST a 2nd with Samuel to get him.
