Mike Reiss, of the Boston Globe, reports Samuel's agent, Alonzo Shavers, said they do not look at the tag as a bad thing. He added it's a step towards working on a long-term deal.
wait until the Skins give up the #6 pick to either him or one of the other franchise players!
I wouldn't be opposed to the team trading the #6 pick for Samuals AND one of the Patriots first round picks (the higher pick would be great, but this won't happen) Beside, if the Skins make any trade withthat pick, recent history shows that the team will come up on the short end!
