Pretend you are the Skins' GM...

OK, you are the Skins' GM and you have already ascertained that you can afford Samuel under the salary cap since you would trade for him and assume the terms of that deal.

Two questions:

1. Do you try to persuade Mike Shanahan/Jim Haslett that it is worth acquiring him?

2. What price are you willing to pay Philly for Samuel?

Easy answers here. No and Nothing. Plain and simple here... we are not going to win this year. I hate to say it, but it's evident, it's not going to happen. Yes he is on the block, but Philly will not give him up easily. I don't want to mortgage our future on a 30 year old DB who tackles about as well as Los catches.
