Per Adam Schefter.

i heard too. great news.

Great news! Good to see asante get to camp.

wendi nix just said the same thing on espn.

Thats good.

this is excellent news, especially considering how well the secondary was poised to play without asante anyway. instead of forcing meriweather into more duty than would be ideal early, this will allow him to be the nickel in the situations it fits best, not all nickel situations by default because gay will also be a nickel back. this will help meriweather get some more time at safety as well, and with the depth we'll have between gay at cb, sanders/andrews at safety and meriweather at both, the nickel and dime flexibility and options for moving wilson and harrison around multiply exponentially.

this is good, both for regular defense because asante is our best corner, and for option packages and schemes

Took him long enough

Good, only CB on the team that can cover #1 WR

Cool, I was hoping that the Niners got him but we got Nate Clements.

This actually ends up helping me too cus I have the Patriots as my D in my fantasy football league.

Nate Clements > Asante Samuel


But very good to see him slow up.
