ESPN.com - The Eagles have been shopping cornerback Asante Samuel around the league before next week's draft, according to a league source.

Samuel, who led the NFC in interceptions in two of the past three years, is scheduled to make $9.9 million this season.

I'd trade a later pick for him. I think he said he would be willing to restructure his deal.

They're asking a 3rd/4th .. You wont get him for any cheaper.

As for his deal, he said he'd restructure it to STAY in Philly, not move somewhere else.

The Broncos apparently like their cornerbacks on the wrong side of 30.

According to Mike Klis the Denver Post, the team tried to trade for cornerback Asante Samuel, the 31-year-old cover man who has become a luxury the Eagles can no longer afford.

Per Klis, the Broncos made two proposals. One would have sent a fifth-round or sixth-round draft pick to Philly, and the other would have sent a player.

The Broncos reportedly believe they can no longer make the trade happen. On March 22, they signed former Saints conerback Tracy Porter (who is merely 25). Last Friday, they cut veteran starter Andre’ Goodman, who is 33.

The elder statesman and No. 1 corner for the Broncos is Champ Bailey. He turns 34 in June.

It’s widely believed that Samuel would have to reduce the value of the final two years of his contract in order to make a trade happen, given that he’s due to earn base salaries of $10 million and $11.5 million, respectively, over the next two seasons. And so he essentially has the ability to veto any trade by saying he won’t cut his pay.

Damn lol.

Please get Asante out of the division, that would be nice not to face him anymore.

Eagles Will Take Fifth, Sixth Rounder For Samuel

NFL.com - The Eagles aren't asking for much in return for multi-time Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel.

Reports that Philadelphia is "looking for a 3d or 4th rd pick for (Samuel) were wrong. They are willing to take a 5th or 6th," tweeted Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

However, there appear to be varying reports.

The Denver Post wrote on Thursday that the Broncos have already offered a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick for Samuel, a deal the Eagles rejected.
