roy875 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 For continuityand team spirit sake I prefer to keep Nate if he wants to stay BUT..... I think head 2 head Samuel may be better in coverage than Nate, better hands and more picks lately, I think he is younger, and we would be stealing him from the Pats (double bonus) It is worth a thought, and haven't seen it mentioned.

DrDawkinstein Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 havent seen it mentioned when? cause its all anyone talked about 2 weeks ago. but now after this post season im hoping Samuel is the top CB FA. if we cant get Nate we're not going to get Asante its sorta like expecting to get a 1st round pick for McGahee.

OCinBuffalo Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeaaah, it's good to dream. But if anything (and this will sound weird) I think Samuel's play actually makes Clements stock go down. In fact, it may end up helping us to keep Nate. If the perception is that Samuel is "the best CB out there" then that means NC is not. Everyone knows that the best should get the best contract. But what does #2 get? If Nate is not the hottest FA out there at his position, I wonder what that will mean. Let's say the Redskins, Cowboys(and the rest of the big $ usual suspects) go after Samuel, that whole thing kinda leaves good ole' Nate out in the cold as a "me too". I dunno, that may mean he is easier to sign back - but of course it may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry must have missed it!----I was in a Holiday cave or something. Topics do tend to come and go quickly around here. Except willis that is. He is the "JP sucks" for the new year. It would be nice if Samuel takes out the highest bidder and distracts the others so we have a better shot with Nate. Maybe it will give NC some motivation to play more and self-hype less. However, that would be an average Joe's reaction, not a primadonna football stars...... As long as the pats lose him I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBillsDrive Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Samuel played himself into a Washington Redskins uniform tonight. Scott Pioli won't get into a bidding war with Snyder for a corner back, particulary with a potential 15 million dollar signing bonus involved.

In space no one can hear Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hmmm. Unfortunately- there will be more than one team looking for a top corner in free agency. With so many teams with a ton of money to spend you can expect both Clements and Samuels to get paid big time. It's really not an either/or thing. This thread had alot of wishfull thinking going on.
