The Atlanta Falcons are involved in discussions to trade for Philadelphia Eagles cornerbackAsante Samuel before the NFL draft, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The 31-year-old Samuel, a four-time Pro Bowl pick, would give the Falcons' new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan a strong trio at cornerback with Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes, who on Tuesday signed his franchise tag tender.

Meh, they still need to improve their rush defense and adding Samuel to an already good secondary is just a waste of money at this point considering he will restructure his salary this year, but he's gonna be asking for big bucks down the road and Atlanta still has to lock Grimes down to a contract next year.

They'd be dumber than hell to do it, but their front office has their heads up their asses anyways so no suprise either way.

    • I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper. 
    • I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
