The physical was probably what was holding it up. I think he signed a 6 year deal, right?

Yeah its being reported as being official. I dont have a link, but I believe Samuel to the Eagles is official. I understand wanting to make a splash but in the inflated market, you have to spend wisely. Asante will get a monster contract, and I dont think he fits the Jim Johnson defense. But who knows.
Giants have lost two linebackers already, Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor. Mitchell signed with the Bills and Torbor with the Dolphins. Mitchell is a helluva player.

Yeah it seems that Samuel is going to sign with Philly. But I dont really get why Philly would want him. He is more of a zone corner and that is what he has thrived in. Philly's defense plays an aggressive man defense. He might fit in okay, but it seems like a big risk for all that money.

Well fellas, free agency has now begun! There is a lot of money out there, and not very many quality players available. There will be some ridiculus contracts given out to mediocre players. It may be best to take the Giants' route of last year, and sit the initial wave out, and see what becomes available on down the line.

Nah keeping Grossman on a one year deal is not bad at all. If they land another QB in the draft or free agency, they can dump Grossman at the end of training camp/preseason, and it not hurt them one bit. Once they start trimming rosters before opening day, they can let him go. What this says to me is that Grossman and his camp didnt feel that there would be much of a market for him. The Bears had all the leverage.

i wasnt really follwoing it supre close though leading up to the release
Yeah I remember hearing comparisons to Meshuggah. In any event, hopefully this is a throwback album. I think they got the message on St Anger.:mosh:

Giants seek DeAngelo Hall as top cornerback
by Mike Garafolo/The Star-Ledger Thursday February 21, 2008, 10:39 PM
INDIANAPOLIS -- With their top two free-agent targets wearing pricey franchise tags, the Giants are trying another route toward getting a top cornerback: A trade with the Atlanta Falcons for two-time Pro Bowler DeAngelo Hall.
According to two people with knowledge of preliminary discussions between the teams, the Giants are willing to give Atlanta their first-round pick (31st overall) in April's draft in exchange for Hall. The people requested anonymity because of the private nature of the trade talks.
Giants general manager Jerry Reese declined to comment today at the NFL Scouting Combine when asked whether the Giants have inquired about Hall, the eighth overall pick in the 2004 draft.
Hall's agent, Joel Segal, could not be reached for comment.
The Giants had hoped to make a run at the Seahawks' Marcus Trufant and the Raiders' Nnamdi Asomugha, according to one of the people familiar with the team's offseason plans, but each was made the franchise player by their respective teams.
As compensation, the Giants would owe two first-round picks if they signed either player. Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel, who will become a free agent next Friday, is viewed by the Giants more as a player whose success is the product of New England's defensive system than his own ability.
Hall, 24, is a fast, tough and talented player who has 17 interceptions in his four NFL seasons.

^^Hey now! SB MVP!
I hear alot of the "experts" love Matt Ryan and think he could be the number 1 overrall pick, but I dont know. I never thought of him as a bigtime QB from what I saw of him at Boston College. I actually think Brohm will have the best career in the NFL out of any of them.
