BREAKING NEWS: Asante Samuel Jr is in Charlotte trying out for the Carolina Panthers

[Proudiddy]

Would love this signing.  If he can return to pre-injury form, this is a coup.  Mike Jack gets a bad wrap here because he’s under such a blazing hot magnifying glass playing opposite of Horn because no one wants to challenge Horn, but MJ holds it down.  But ASJ?  That would be a hell of a tandem if he is healthy and can stay that way.  I wanted us to get him in his draft had the picks shook out that way and he was available.  I still think his dad was one of the toughest, most underrated CBs to play in my lifetime and ASJ has a lot of his dad’s game.

Could he play FS?  Less tackling, more ball-hawking?   Even as just a corner I’m good with brining him in.

That's my question too

Ehhh…  now looking at that list, unless we offer significantly more money, he’s not signing here.

A lot of older corners make that sort of change to lengthen their careers.

Whether or not Samuel is open to it? Haven't seen anything...

Only being 26 it might be a tough sell if another team is going to let him play Corner.

Of those listed only the 49ers have more cap space.  The Bears and Steelers might not have enough to compete.

FWIW when a player is going to a bunch of teams like this, the first team is usually their preference. They just want to make sure the money is right. 

If they leave they’re gone.
