Asante Samuels Jr coming in today

[kerouac9]

I am looking at the lack of WR production vs Samuel in the last 2 years.

TARGETS AND YARDS.

Clear enough?

I guess? Those stats say he... sucks?

#79 in targets allowed in 2023
#77 in receptions allowed that year
#87 in yards allowed
Mid 80s in yards per target and yards per reception allowed

He's just a mid guy with a famous name. If he wants to come here and compete for Kei'Trel Clark's one defensive snap per game, more power to him. But I'm not depending on this guy at all.

Much less making Johnny Venerable Posts like "THIS GUY CAN PLAY" and then posting misleading tables. Get out of here with that -- hoping we won't follow the link,

ST5 will be an RFA next season. He only has two years in the league.



Over 100% snap share? They should call him The Glitch in the Matrix.

Just posting tables doesn't mean anything without providing some analysis of what you see.

I'm no better than Oaken today.

MB’s contract would be very costly to cut. Won’t happen.

It would only cost 2.2M, right. 9.9M cap hit and 7.7M base salary savings.

But with that said. Would why you do it without saving cap space?

Having looked into it, the CB room gets much smaller starting next off-season. SMB can get cut to save 7.25 mil. STV will be a UFA. Essentially frees up the CB1 and CB2 roles with Williams still under contract for the CB3 spt. I don't think the Cards are really invested in Clark and that leaves Melton and Jones as the only viable CB1 and CB2 options.

Not correct on SMB. 9.9M cap hit and 7.7M saving = 2.2M cap hit to cut him

According to OTC his salaries are guaranteed come Monday

What factual basis could this possibly have??

1. He is a DB coach
2. He is a good DB coach, otherwise there is no promotion
3. Everywhere he has been the secondary production has outplayed the talent.
4. When he has left a team, the secondary of that team declined

3 and 4 are opinions, obviously. Doesn’t add up to an elite DB coach in any case.

No. 3 & 4 are actually the two points where you have metrics.

I know that you are not familiar with the concept, but they are there.

Good point, I don't know anything about his performance but got excited when I heard they were hosting him for a visit him as its a name I am familiar with.

Sad days. I didn’t check for guarantees.

 

[Chopper0080]

I only see his 2025 salary getting guaranteed. Nothing about his 2026

 

[Chopper0080]

Just going off OTC. 2026 salary 9.5 mil. Dead money 2 mil. Savings 7.5 mil. If cut next offseason.

Correct. Missed the fine print.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

If he signs with Cards, can we correct the spelling of his name in thread title?

 

[ajcardfan]

Hes referring to SMB who as the year went on actually played better

Yes, he actually did. The last four games or so he played like we hoped he would play all season. I see Asante Jr as basically the same level as SMB. Kind of a B grade CB. If we sign him, that means we are going to play him and one of the younger CBs will be gone. Probably Jones and or Davis
