Rather target other FA's 1st. He wasn't that great this season when he played.(yes, I know the Falcons were terrible). He gave up 74.3 % compl, only 1 INT.(113.7 QB rating)

No pass-rush will do that to you.

wouldn't hurt. would fit us better than the falcons and since we have a much MUCH better front 7, it wouldn't be so much pressure on him and he'd do better.

 

if getts, mcd, and rivera think he'd fit i'd be thrilled. could be a huge boost to the secondary.

[CatMan72]

Didnt something similar happen with Drayton Florence?

 

Yup and then Josh Norman crapped the bed in the Buffalo game and we brought him back. 

[Jackofalltrades]

I'd take him to replace DFlo.

Sorry, but I've been jaded ever since the Chuck Smith deal.

Have the Panthers ever taken a player directly from Atlanta's roster since???

Wasn't all on the pass rush. It will help but he just deteriorated as a player and that was seen in his stats for the year.

 

Look at Trufant, he had a really good year under the same conditions.

 

Trufant: 53.4% compl, 12 yards/compl, 2 INT, 15 pass defended, 75.2 QB rating

Asante: 74.3% compl,  17 yards/compl, 1INT, 2 pass defended, 113.7 QB rating

It could revitalize whats left of Samuel's career.  This is a guy that has some familiarity with the system and comes from a hated division rival.  His knowledge of ATL's offense could prove more valuable than his his play which is still an upgrade over anyone on our roster playing CB atm.

[Cary Kollins]

Couldn't be worse than Josh Thomas.

[LinvilleGorge]

1 year deal?  Absolutely. 

 

He'd be our best CB the moment he signed.

I would rather we look at Nolan Carroll who's a free agen from the dolphins! 26yrs old 6ft 1inches 209lbs and wasn't burnt this year for any touchdowns.

[jptaylor84]

1 year deal? Absolutely.

He'd be our best CB the moment he signed.

That wouldn't be difficult now would it.

[Icege]

I would totally take Asante Samuel for one year, but I'd also like to bring back Munnerlyn for three year deal as well. I feel that he deserves it, especially since the team runs a lot plays from the nickel. Having Samuel, White, and Munnerlyn starting in that package seems quite solid to me.
