Why has no one signed Asante Samuel Jr?

[cowboys5xsbs]

What's the deal with this guy. Why has noone signed him and why would Dallas not take a chance as a depth piece. I don't see how he would be any worse than Booth or any of our other corners lower down on the depth chart.

Need to see how his injury stuff checks out
Maybe we want to just see how our current guys are I guess
They had Gilly in the building a bit ago, maybe he's an insurance policy sometime during or after camp

and we need to see how Eberflus views an prefers his CBs,.. does he prefer more bigger CBs ?

even prior to Eberflus, i thought i heard that the Cowboys saw Samuel Jr. as more of a slot nickel than outside
guy,. and maybe the team is more interest in size. length and a guy that can be both outside & slot guy.

Missed most of last year with neck and shoulder issues. Had neck surgery in April. Teams are probably waiting to see how he recovers from the neck surgery.

If I remember right with him is he didn’t like contact at all. He isn’t anywhere close to what his dad was

yeah we don't need another Diggs on this team

He's not healthy enough for teams to roll the dice.

I wouldn’t expect him here.

Rarely do I give management of this team the benefit of the doubt, but they know a lot more about the physical situation with Diggs and Revel than we do.

Bland is here. Elam is expected to contribute. They aren’t throwing Carson into the trash.

Corner isn’t as much of a problem as some other spots.

Oh so he is just like Diggs. We don't need to flag football players on the team

It’s a classic high return low risk signing but once you work “neck” into the analysis teams put the breaks on. My sense is his future is not clear. Only explanation for it.

I saw this article earlier today:

This guys think Mike Hilton, former Bengals CB, might be the answer if the Cowboys need help. I'd rather sign Gilmore, but I admit I am not that aware of Hilton's abilities.
