When will Asante Samuel Jr. play—if he plays—and what will his role be?
We’re going on a third week now since the Steelers signed veteran CB Asante Samuel Jr. to the practice squad with no movement. Were it not for major surgery, he would have figured to cash in handsomely during free agency. There’s a reason he had meetings lined up with a good chunk of the league before he signed.
But there was also, presumably, nobody offering huge wads of cash. The reality is that everybody wants to see who Asante Samuel Jr. is, not just right now but in the future.
