How Asante Samuel Still Helps The Eagles

The Eagles signed cornerback Asante Samuel, then the crown jewel of the free agency market, back on February 29, 2008. He earned Pro Bowl honors in his first three seasons in Philadelphia and was tied for the league lead with nine interceptions in 2009.

Samuel's tenure with the Eagles ended on April 25, 2012 when he was sent to Atlanta in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick. Even though Samuel hasn't played for the Eagles in the past three seasons, he still continues to help the team to this day.

The seventh-round pick acquired in the trade with Atlanta was used on running back Bryce Brown three days later.
