Back in April the Atlanta Falcons traded a seventh-round draft pick to the Eagles for cornerback Asante Samuel. Samuel became expendable when the Eagles signed Nnamdi Asomugha and acquired Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie last summer, giving them three Pro Bowl cornerbacks. But the team couldn't find a suitable deal for Samuel, so they kept him last year and used Rodgers-Cromartie as the nickel back. According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Reid thought Samuel was in steep decline and that his style no longer suited the scheme. Samuel probably sealed his fate with the Eagles when he was critical the front office at the trade deadline, saying management was "playing fantasy football with the owner's money."
