It sounds like the Asante Samuel signing is official. Press conference keeps getting pushed back, probably dotting the i's & crossing the T's on the contract.

Now let's see if they make another move (trade Lito, get a WR) we'll see.

The physical was probably what was holding it up. I think he signed a 6 year deal, right?

Dont worry too much about it Neemo. The Pats have a proven track record that they know what they are doing, and dont over-value their own talent. If there is anyone in the league that can take a player, plug him into his system, and be successful, its Bill Belicheck. They have done this in the past.

yeah and there is also those players that leave NE and not live up to their success that they enjoyed in NE under Belicheck...its just Samuel was a game breaker at times...it'll be hard to fully replace that, still i expected it last year after he went for long term & big bucks...NE doesnt like to make those kinda deals

NE looks to be losing its incredible team piece by piece(like the 85 Bears), although like NY says Belichick is usually able to overcome these sorts of obstacles.

Brady Quinn needs to be put on the trading block.

Yeah it will definatly be interesting to see what Cleveland does with Quinn now that they have signed Anderson to a 3 year deal. I bet they keep him though. They should stick with Anderson.

I would assume Cleveland will keep Quinn for at least this year, that way they have more left in case what Anderson was able to do last year was some kind of fluke. 

I think they would probably be better off adding to the team with the pieces they could get for him, but NFL teams seem to like to have that insurance factor there.

Brad Biggs, of the Chicago Sun-Times, reports the Chicago Bears have re-signed free-agent LB Lance Briggs (Bears) to a six-year contract worth $36 million.

This should make James happy!

^^  Makes me happy too.  I was worried they were going to make the same mistake they made with Rosey Colvin a few years back.
