Pleasure doing business with you, Sully.

I accept, and will trade the pick now.

One of my biggest needs this offseason was a DE to play opposite Brian Roset. With Samanta only being 25 years old this upcoming season, we felt he was better than anything we could find late in the first round of this year's draft. We also liked that he was signed through 2011 at a reasonable rate.

Thanks, Eaglesfan. Best of luck to you.
