Franchise player

Cornerback ASANTE SAMUEL, unhappy to have been designated the Patriots' "franchise player," even though that meant he'd be paid $7.79 this season, continues to make a case for an even bigger payday next year.
For the third game in a row, Samuel had an interception, picking off a Derek Anderson pass in the first quarter that first was deflected by linebacker Adalius Thomas. Including last season's playoff games, Samuel now has 12 interceptions in his last 14 games, dating back to the Chicago game last November, when he picked off three passes.
