the agent for asante Samuel said his client is not upset about the patriots placing the franchise tag on him. We don't look at it as a bad thing Alonzo shavers said on Friday night .this is a step in the process of working toward a long term deal. asked is Samuel would hold out .shavers said that is not our intent at all. source Boston.com reiss's pieces.

I haven't been able to find any comments from him on the web. Was this a story at Boston.com? I couldn't find it. Do you have a link? Thanks.

Before he was officially franchised, I know his agent said Samuel wanted to play for the Patriots. They also said something to the affect that that if the Patriots franchised him, thats the way it goes. They'd deal with it. This was a few weeks ago. I don't know if he made anymore comments after that, but I don't remember seeing anything that would indicate that he would be bitter if he was franchised. Heck, I'd love to have to deal with making 8 million in a year!! lol.

I'm shocked I though for sure he would be gone next year. But I'm glad he's back for at least one more year.
