You can now remove one big name free agent from the list of available players. Comcast Sportsnet is reporting that Asante Samuel is visiting with the Eagles today and that a deal is in place. A media availability has been scheduled adding to the speculation that a deal has been reached.
Of course, they are quoting an unnamed league source, whoever that is, but the report is out there.
