ESPN Reporting Eagles Signed Samuel

A friend sends along this rumor which I will believe when the contract is signed. 50 minutes till the Eagles/Samuel press conference.

 

 

ESPN is reporting we got Samuels- for much less then was expected:  5 yrs $47M.  others saying it's not done yet, but close.

 

But there is also a press conference scheduled at 4:30 (and he's in town)...  not sure why you'd have a press conference w/ no news.  This is huge news!  There's a lot of rumors that  Lito will then be packaged (one of which is to AZ w/ a 2nd rounder for Larry Fitzgerald).  we'll see, but I think it would be great to have Lito and Samuels (both 27) at the Corners w/ Brown at Safety.  Then go after Javon Walker and you've filled a lot of weaknesses right away. 

 

 

also, looks like we are close to landing Clemons from Oakland (OLB/ small DE):
