Asante to Saints a "done deal"

jdiggy · 02-26-2008, 09:29 PM

Asante is an exciting pickup, and has been a good corner for New England.

My only concern is that I feel like the ghost of Tebucky Jones is coming back to haunt our secondary (Given that they both come from N.E.).

I know their positions are different, so spare me that... But, both were/are believed to be in the prime of their careers, both coming from a Super Bowl winning Patriots team, both had a lot of HYPE and N.E. let them go...

Is this a homerun? 10 million a year? I gots concerns...

let em be 50/50, getting asante right and the lions wrong. besides, you can always count on matt millen to screw things up

I certainly would not count on Samuel being a done deal. It is great news to hear that the Saints are determined to fix this mess of a defense, but there is no way the Samuel deal is done and there is still plenty of work to do even if they get samuel. Getting samuel, trading for Vilma and still loading up on young playmakers on defense is a must. Another CB, DT, LB and safety are still needs. But this whole thing is encouraging to see that they are giving maximum effort.

Good point about Matt Millen. Never count the Lions out of screwing up as long as that joker is there.
