It is a rumor that lasted more than three months – Cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. On the Minnesota Vikings.
The Vikings are re -linked to Asante Samuel Jr., the newest in an offseason filled with the gills with the same theory. It is the last in the rumor mill that never sleeps.
The theory has sketchy origin, especially since it included a game of telephones with someone’s neighbor and was advanced by the crew bee Shoes Noord.
Yet Samuel Jr. have to sign somewhere Soon too long as a completely medical green light, and CBS Sport This week claimed that the Vikings represent a wise landing place for the 25-year-old.
Vikingen, Asante Samuel Jr. rumors continue to exist
CBS Sports did the honor this week, so Samuel Jr. Live and good to Minnesota.
Vikings mentioned a landing site for Asante Samuel Jr.
CBS Sport‘Tyler Sullivan has recorded the most sensible destinations for the ex-Los Angeles Charger and Minnesota was recorded.
He wrote”The Vikings surrendered 239.8 passing yards per game last season, which was the fourth highest in the competition. This season, they saw the secondary taking a hit with the departure of Cornerback Stephon Gilmore (15 Starts in 2024) together with Security Camryn Bynum in free agency.”
“She previously signed outside corners of Isaiah Rodgers and Jeff Okudah earlier this season, but none of them is certain. Rodgers started in just three of his 19 games that were played for the Philadelphia Eagles (including play -offs), while Okudah was limited to six games (Nul Start) in 2024.”
If it is completely healthy, adding Samuel Jr. As a phenomenal cake topper, on the heavy outdoor season of the Vikings.
“Introducing Samuel would give the Vikings a chance to touch a cheap experienced free agent that helps to maintain the defense of Brian Flores as one of the top in the NFL,” Sullivan concluded.
A long -term rumor outside season
This theory has been approaching in the purple rumor mill since March.
An anonymous source claimed Samuel Jr. To have seen in a nightclub in Florida with a Vikings hat, and believe it or not, that is where the rumor legs grew.
And when Minnesota did not set up a cornerback in April, the rumor mill never died.
And here we are, less than three weeks before the training camp, with CBS Sport Articles that Minnesota mention as a landing site Samuel Jr.
The CB room with Samuel Jr.
If this thing actually got materials, the Cornerback Corps of Minnesota would look like this in 2025:
- Byron Murphy Jr.
- Asante Samuel Jr.
- Isaiah Rodgers
- Mekhi Blackmon
- Jeff Okudah
- Dwight Mcglothern
Most fans would approve the group.
Samuel Sr. that causes gorges
In the meantime, Samuel Jr.’s father, Asante Samuel Sr., did not afford his son from a Vikings position last week.
He jumped on someone’s podcast And decided to call Hall from Famer Cris Carter, “overestimated”, and insisted that the Vikings legend was just a “possession of the receiver.”
Samuel Sr. And Carter didn’t even play in the same era.
Cardinals, Raiders also on the List Samuel Jr.
Sullivan also mentioned the Arizona Cardinals as a Samuel Jr. landing spot: “Arizona has used second round picks in each of the last two NFL concepts to bring in corners. Max Melton came to the city in 2024, but started only three games in the second round of the Cardinals was the Kardinals of De Kardinals injury problems.
“At the start of this season only 25 years old, Samuel Jr. would still bring young people to the position group, but also some much needed starter experience.”
De Las Vegas Raiders also got some love: “Rookie Darien Porter of the third round could take into account one of the starting places on the border, but there was not much promise afterwards. The Raiders signed Eric Stokes in March, but given it is just a one-year-old deal of $ 4 million, he should not be seen as a lock around Bona Fide-Star.”
“Similar to Minnesota, the adding of Samuel Jr. would give the Raiders a different dice roll if they are looking for stability in the secondary. And they will need to play in an AFC West division consisting of Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix.”
If a clean health account, Samuel Jr. Probably sign with a new team in the next three weeks.
