    He was released by Atlanta and has over 50 career interceptions, they could release Ike Taylor and maybe sign Samuel on the cheap.

    I'm not sure Asante Samuel is a player you sign "on the cheap"...

    Too expensive and at the twilight of his career. No thank you.

    he would probably make us older and I think we are going the other direction or at least I hope so

    Will he play for the vet minimum? That's pretty doubtful. While he may be a "short term fix" his salary would prevent us from filling other needs. Much better to go young and cheap, if possible.

    He was benched on a bad Atlanta team, no thanks. Dulac or somebody made a case for switching him to safety, which is intriguing, he has a bunch of picks but I don't see him ending up in black and gold though.

    Man 50 career interceptions, if he gets 10 more, I think he could be in the discussion for the HOF....

    33 years old. Our secondary is old enough already so I'll pass.

    No. We need to get younger in a hurry, not continue to field an old, washed up defence

    He's actually younger than Ike. Not saying I want him. I'm just saying. A couple of years ago I would have taken him though. He has good ball skills.
