The latest in the drama caused by Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel…
In an interview with 97.5 the Fanatic on Saturday, Samuel stated that he doesn’t feel like the Eagles want him.
“Definitely, it doesn’t sit well with me,” Samuel said. “Definitely, I’ve been nothing but what they expected me to be when they brought me there … Definitely, it doesn’t sit well with me. And obviously they don’t want me there, so life goes on. So we’ll see where I’ll be at.”
Samuel also added that he will continue to play hard because he is getting paid. So that’s a good sign.
“Well, as long as I’m getting paid I’m gonna do my job,” Samuel said. “so whoever [is] cutting the check, I do my job … So I’m not worried about that. I just know in the back of my head they don’t want me there. So, you know, that’s not gonna leave. They put it out there so everybody could know that, so I know that and everybody knows that. So it’s in the back of my head. And Asante Samuel is a business entity first, so I’m going to make sure I handle my business accordingly.”
This season, the Eagles are 2-4 and in last place in the NFC East. Samuel has 18 tackles and just one interception.
