So a lot of Eagles fans are shocked the team took a stab at Randy Moss and that they were willing to pay so much. The question was how could they afford to pay so much after signing LB Chris Clemons and CB Asante Samuel. Well the answer is pretty simple, Clemons and Samuel were both absolute steals. Yea I know how could Asante Samuel’s 6-year $57.14 million be a steal.
