After weeks of speculation it looks like the Eagles have finally dealt CB Asante Samuel.
According to sources, Philadelphia has dealt Samuel to the Atlanta Falcons for a late-round draft pick. Upon acquiring him the Falcons restructured Samuel’s deal to a to a three-year, $18.5 million contract rather than a $9.9 million dollar deal Samuel was originally scheduled to make in 2012.
Samuel, 31, is a four-time Pro Bowler who gives Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan a strong trio at cornerback with Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes, who Tuesday signed his franchise tag tender. Grimes will make $10.262 million this season.
