TKO’d 2008-03-06 14:51:51 So Takeo Spikes gets cut, clearing $5 million in cap room. Is the other shoe about to drop?

March 5, 2008

Asante Samuel is a great CB who can press, play off coverage, blitz, and most of all make big plays. Samuel’s biggest strengths are being able to drop back and get in and out of his [...] Read more:Green
