The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to sign cornerback Asante Samuel, according to several reports.

The deal is expected to be worth $47.2 million over five years, ESPN reports. Samuel had been seeking a deal worth at least $10 million a year.

The New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also were rumored to be chasing Samuel. The Pro Bowler had 44 tackles and six interceptions last season with the Patriots -- one for a touchdown.

Samuel was visiting the Eagles' practice facility on Friday. The deal reportedly was pending Samuel passing a physical.

10 million a season, damn.

Te Eagles have signed free-agent cornerback Asante Samuel.
The Eagles agreed to a six-year contract on Friday with Samuel, who spent the last five seasons with New England and had 16 interceptions the last two years.

Samuel also tied the NFL career playoff record with three interceptions returned for TDs.

Philadelphia had only 11 interceptions last year and failed to score a defensive touchdown. Its defense had an NFL-worst 19 takeaways.

The Eagles will likely trade or shift positions for either Lito Sheppard or Sheldon Brown.

Samuel, a two-time Pro Bowl selection with two Super Bowl rings, has 22 career interceptions. He was protected by New England last year by the franchise player tag.

:bee rbang2:

Now that I got that out of system, I as you all know wanted him here and BAD! This move is great for us and adds one of the better CB's in the game to form possible the best secondary in the league. I dont know what we can do with Lito but options are a beautiful thing!

They did say that litto is unhappy with his contract on espn so he will probably get traded.

That's one hell of a way to send a message in the NFC East. Now, we got a top notch CB to cover the talented WRs in the NFC East considering we play them twice a year---Owens, Burress, and Moss; and basically any other WR.
