Samuel in New Orleans

PFT.com is reporting that Samuel will be signing with the Saints. They are hearing that a deal is pretty much done. Vilma could be on his way to Detroit.

I thought they weren't allowed to even talk to these people until FA officially begins.

That is why it is not official :lol:

Samuel playing across from McKenzie, or in place of McKenzie?

That players are receiving, reviewing, and signing contracts a few minutes after the FA period officially starts at midnight, I think it's safe to say they work out quite a few behind closed doors ahead of time. An analyst on sports radio yesterday says a lot of teams pull this trick nowadays. Pressure's on those that don't cheat ahead because they're losing FAs to teams that do, so apparently now many do 'cheat' in this way.
