With the draft of the NFL 2025 which approaches quickly, few starting caliber players are left on the free market.
One of the best names remaining is the asante corner half samuel jr., a free agent without restriction after completing his recruit contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Although he played in just four games last season due to a shoulder injury, Samuel Jr. is a talented defender who comes into his career. So why is he still available?
Mike Garafolo from the media of NFL Media, the “market breaks” medical concerns of Samuel Jr.
Garafolo notes that there are red flags concerning Samuel’s neck and back, otherwise it would be signed now. The old second round choice visited the cardinals last month, but left without agreement.
The teams at the corner of the corner will probably revisit Samuel after the draft – could Eagles be one of them? Philadelphia has always been a destination for players who seek to rebuild their value. CB Isaiah Rodgers, for example, signed with the Eagles in the middle of his game suspension and played an essential role on the way to a championship.

Samuel Jr. is the son of the legend of the NFL, Asante Samuel Sr., who was a Bowler 4x Pro, 2x champion of the Super Bowl, and played Philadelphia from 2008 to 2011. Bringing his son would be a fun story and giving Eagles another young defensive to deploy with Quinon Mitchell and Cooper Dejean.
Since entering the League in 2021, Samuel Jr. has recorded 176 plated, six interceptions and 37 passing.
