Steelers are signing Asante Samuel jr

You would think

 

Good luck with that

 

I read the Eagles are already sniffing around Asante for their 53 man roster.

 

Well now we’ve got him. Hopefully he can get up to speed with a quickness

 

I'm sure that he signed to the PS with a plan in place. He is not your typical PS guy. Once he works his way into shape then he'll be promoted. If any other team wanted to sign him to the roster than they all had a chance and he could have signed. I'm thinking that there are guidelines in place for him to be promoted when he's ready and he signed a deal knowing that.

 

He just turned 26 years old last month... i think some are posting assuming he just turned 36... obviously his back surgery is critical.. he might very well move like a 36 year old for all anyone knows.. it's very low risk, possibly high reward. I don't know how anyone could hate on this move.. I was hoping he'd sign with the Steelers after having his surgery/treatment done by Steelers doctors.
