Samuel reports to Pats
Franchise cornerback Asante Samuel, who has missed all of training camp and the first three preseason games, reported to the New England Patriots on Monday and will sign the one-year tender worth $7.79 million.
Samuel, a four-year veteran will attempt to reclaim his starting job, but likely will have to pass the strenuous conditioning test administered by coach Bill Belichick to all players before working out with his teammates.
Samuel was not available for comment Monday. Glenn Toby, the senior vice president at the agency that represents him, said a deal had not been finalized by Monday afternoon.
