Will the Steelers sign CB Asante Samuel Jr.?
According to reports, the Steelers are on free agent CB Asante Samuel Jr.’s itinerary, scheduled to visit Pittsburgh next week. He has other visits lined up before then, though, and he could theoretically sign at any point while on location. Or after he has left. Like many teams, the Steelers prefer to have a contract signed before a player leaves.
A fifth-year player, Asante Samuel Jr. has six career receptions in 50 games played, all with the Chargers. He suffered a severe injury last season that limited him to just four games, and only recently has he received medical clearance to resume his career.
