A proposed trade that will send cornerback Asante Samuel from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Atlanta Falcons moved one step closer to completion on Wednesday afternoon with Samuel agreeing to terms on a three-year, $18.5 million contract with the Falcons, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Samuel had two years and $21.5 million remaining on his current contract, including a $9.9 million base salary and $100,000 workout bonus in 2012. Adding Samuel without a revised contract was not possible, as they were just $1.656 million under their adjusted cap number of $125.423 million for the 2012 season.
Neither team has confirmed the trade, which is expected to involve the Falcons' sixth round pick (192nd overall)
