Eagles land Samuel

Asante Samuel is now a Philadelphia Eagle. The cornerback has signed a six-year deal with the NFC East team, for a reported $57 million. The first three years -- the years that really matter in an NFL contract -- are $32 million, an impressive sum for the former fourth-round draft pick, who has 22 interceptions over the last three seasons.

The deal was done quickly, as Samuel arrived in Philadelphia late this morning and was part of an introductory press conference before 5 p.m. It seems unlikely that it all got done after 12:01 a.m. today -- the official time free agency began -- but that kind of tampering is something that apparently most NFL teams accept.

But once Samuel got to the City of Brotherly Love, the Eagles weren't going to let him leave without a deal being done.

Assante Buckner? Shut down corner? He made the pro bowl which is a bad indication of a players worth. I've been watching this guy and he'll go for the pick and risk a big play every time. When it counted in the super bowl the ball went through his hands like it was greased. Sat out most of last season. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out Assante. Trust in Bill.
