Over Spring Break I heard some great news for Philadelphia sports. The Eagles made a big signing in the first week of free agency. They signed former Patroit shut down corner Asante Samuel. They signed him to a muti million dollar, multi year deal. This is a perfect fit for Jim Johnson's blitzing defense. The Eagles were in need of a shut down corner, like they once had in Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent.
Now, they still have a problem. They currently have three corners: Samuel, Sheldon Brown, and Lito Sheppard. Rumor has it the Birds are looking to deal Sheppard who has been a liability over the last few seasons with knee injuries. Brown has been a pro-bowl type player who can really put a lick on opposing recievers/running backs.
Another rumor is that Samuel and Sheppard will be the corners next season, and Brown will move to one of the safety spots.
