Asante Samuel Jr., a notable free agent cornerback, is currently awaiting a new team after neck surgery in April. He recently visited the New Orleans Saints and plans to have a check-up in July, with intentions to return in the 2025 season. Samuel's previous season with the Los Angeles Chargers was marred by injuries, as he played only four games due to shoulder issues, though he remains optimistic about his future. Despite a strong skill set, his tackling technique has been criticized, but he has made a significant impact in past playoff performances.
At the end of the season, Samuel described the injury as a stinger in both shoulders, but also a condition he's been dealing with since he was born.
Samuel has elite ball skills and great instincts in coverage, but his biggest flaw is tackling, often taking poor angles on ball carriers.
He plans to return to the field for the 2025 season, with a check-up in early July.
Samuel's four games played for the Chargers last season were the fewest he's played in his career.
