Check it out:
Falcons deal with A. Samuel. Essentially they gave up a late pick in the draft and renegotiated his contract to very very fair terms.
"Asante Samuel’s deal with the Atlanta Falcons includes $4.375 million guaranteed, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
He will make $1.25 million in base salary in 2012 (guaranteed for injury), with an $875,000 roster bonus and a $2.25 million option bonus.
In 2013, he makes $3 million, with a $1.675 million roster bonus (not guaranteed). And in 2014 he makes $3.5 million with a $1.625 million roster bonus.
So, if the Falcons wanted to get out from the deal after one season, they could with minimal cap or financial difficulties."

WHY DID NOT MORE TEAMS GO FOR THIS MOVE? A TOP 10 CB AT UNDER $4.4MIL FOR A LATE ROUND PICK
