US EditionAsante Samuel Jr. Landing Spots: Dolphins Likely Out After Father Rips Franchise for Having 'No Backbone'
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 7 – Asante Samuel Sr. criticized Miami Dolphins' leadership and decision-making after trading Jalen Ramsey, potentially influencing his son's free agent signing amid the team's $36 million salary cap space.
- On Monday, Asante Samuel Sr. said, `There's no leadership in the Dolphins organization` and `They are running this team like a little league team` on his Say What Needs To Be Said podcast, criticizing Miami's leadership following Ramsey's trade.
- Facing a cornerback shortfall, the Dolphins need help after trading Jalen Ramsey, with Samuel Jr., recovering from neck surgery, among top free agents awaiting medical clearance.
- He added `There's no leadership in the Dolphins organization`, while also criticizing `Chris Grier, the general manager, has no backbone` and calling the team `like a little league team`, Samuel Sr. said.
- Despite interest, the idea of Samuel Jr. signing with Miami may have been shut down entirely, and convincing him to join could be tough if his father intervenes.
- Weeks before training camp, CBS Sports claimed the Vikings are a likely landing spot for Samuel Jr., with Sullivan saying `Bringing Samuel in would give the Vikings another opportunity to hit on a low-cost veteran free agent` about maintaining top defense.
