for those of you who want to sign Asante Samuel...

[Fifty Gut]

The two sides are miles apart. And it's not a good sign that Samuel recently got a tattoo showing a fistful of dollars and the words, "Get Paid". "We've talked to the Patriots about a new contract," Samuel told the Boston Globe. "What they offered isn't even worth discussing."

for once I'd like to see a team other than ours make that mistake

[Full Surface]

Asante Samuel = Product of Patriots system

i dont understand why people are making such a big deal about this tattoo. i mean really who doesn't want to get money? and honestly most black young men are raised with the idea of getting rich. im not trying to make a sterio type or anything thats really just the way it is. or atleast around the area i live in. its not that big of a deal.

The thing wrong with most fans is that they think if they were in the NFL they'd do it because they want to make their franchise proud. But when you put as much work in as these men have, and you generally come from a poor background, you are trying to make as much money as you can. Fans think that players share the same obsession about their team. But to them it's a job, plain and simple.

i don't blame him for not taking whatever the pats offered. they low-ball everyone. i'd still take him, even if he wants earn as much money as possible and *gulp* has a tattoo.

I just hope we don't get a corner and pay him 15+ million contract and he gets hurt or sucks..

Asante Samuel, welcome aboard.

We're the Washington Redskins

We're the team players flock to in order "to get paid".

Nevermind that winning stuff, that's for other organizations.

Be very concerned if the Skins offer Samuel significantly more than the Pats do. Their front office is much smarter than ours.

The Pats have Brady. They can afford to let some players go. Without Brady pulling off HOF victories NE would be just another team that makes the playoffs and loses.

I don't disagree with the Pats on this one. Samuel is good, but is he Champ money good? I am all for players trying to get as much as they can, but the tattoo is a little overboard.

The Pats just keep drafting players. Why can't our FO find those players?

[DWinzit]

The Skins are not going to able to afford Samuels or Clements. I'm serious!!!There are too many other teams interested who have much more cap space.

Thats quite an ignorant statement. You may believe that since professional football is dominated by black athletes, most black children just dream of being rich. I highly doubt that is true. And yougn kids who dream of being rich come from any race, in fact, race probably has nothing to do with it.

And my comment on that article: How the hell did Asante Samuel run a 5.4? Thats slower than me.
