Samuel Likely to Miss Camp

The Boston Herald is reporting that even with Asante Samuel coming back to the bargaining table, it still appears that Samuel will miss at least part of Patriots training camp.  Samuel, given the franchise player tag in the offseason, was unable to reach a long term deal with the Pats, and has yet to sign his one year deal that would pay him more than 7 million dollars in 2007.  Samuel has threatened to sit out until week 10, though many feel he will be playing for the Pats before that.

Asante, dude.  Everyone knows you have to do what’s best for you, but man, take the seven mil, play your butt off,  win another Super Bowl, and if they franchise you again, then at that point, you can sit out with no fear of bad publicity.  Factually speaking, you’ve got a ton of money on the table.  But if you do decide to sit out, nobody’s going to blame you either.  It’s a tough call, and it’s Asante’s call.  But Pats fans everywhere hope he plays.
