Falcons finalizing contract w/ Asante Samuel to rework final 2yrs on his deal. Trade to Philly very likely today for a late pick

Falcons and Eagles are getting close to a deal that would send CB Asante Samuel to Atlanta for a late-round pick.

Last season the Lions agreed to an exchange that would send the Eagles two second-day draft picks for Samuel but the deal fall apart in the final stages, the Eagles are now trading Samuel to the Falcons for a late round pick.

The two big problems with Samuel this season is that he is now 31 years old and he's owed a $9.4 million base salary which means he needs to re-do his deal.



***Update***

Samuel's new deal would not add additional years to his contract but will alter his remaining salaries. He's excited for deal to be done

I'm glad this deal is getting done. Our defense will be better from day 1 with this guy.
