Asante Samuel

The Philadelphia Eagles are loaded in the secondary, but have serious problems in their linebacking corps. Asante Samuel was not happy about losing his Alpha Dog status to free-agent signee Nnamdi Asomugha.
In fact, neither Samuel nor Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie transitioned well from being the best cornerback on their respective teams for their entire lives, to sharing the burden. Samuel had his fewest amount of interceptions since 2005. Rodgers-Cromartie did not force a turnover after forcing 16 in his first three seasons.
If this was the NBA or MLB, I would almost guarantee Samuel would be moved for a linebacker. CSN Philly reported a trade was a possibility back in October.
However, the NFL is not nearly as trade-happy as those other sports when it comes to players in or near their prime, so I will temper my expectations.
Trade Probability: 50 percent
