As everyone knows who follows the Philadelphia Eagles, Asante Samuel is on the trading block. He may be off of it very soon.
According to Adam Schefter, Samuel is almost a member of the Atlanta Falcons.
The Eagles would be trading the 31-year-old corner for a late round draft pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. This move would make a lot of sense for a team already set with Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie on the outside for years to come.
Trading Samuel would open up some cap space for the team to make some other moves all while adding a selection for Andy Reid to play with.
The ex-Patriot has been a good player for the most part during his time in Philadelphia but he's also far from expendable at this point in his career.
Samuel has been very much a feast or famine type, accumulating 23 interceptions in his four years wearing green.
