CB Asante Samuel's three-year deal with the Falcons includes a fully-guaranteed $4.375 million 2012 base salary.
He'll make $3 million on top of a $1.675 million roster bonus in 2013, and is due a $3.5 million base salary to go along with a $1.625 million roster bonus in 2014. Another $4 million is available through escalators. The roster bonuses will force the Falcons to make a decision on Samuel's future ahead of free agency the next two years.

According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, the Broncos thought they had a deal done for CB Asante Samuel, but he changed his mind.
The Broncos were heavily tied to Samuel throughout the process, but the Falcons swooped in over the last few days. Denver's offer was less than the three-year, $18.5 million contract Samuel agreed to with Atlanta. Obviously, it wasn't quite enough to get him to bite. Recently-signed Tracy Porter remains the favorite to start opposite of Champ Bailey in Denver.

Falcons acquired CB Asante Samuel from the Eagles in exchange for a 2012 seventh-round draft pick.
It's the No. 229 pick, leaving Atlanta with just five selections in the 2012 draft, and none before the 55th choice. Samuel will presumably slide in at left cornerback, with Brent Grimes seeing slot work and Dunta Robinson manning the right side. Still a playmaker at age 31, Samuel has earned a Pro Bowl berth in four of the past five seasons while averaging 6.5 interceptions over the last six. The Falcons haven't upgraded their pass rush much, but they absolutely have a good-looking secondary.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Falcons have agreed to terms with CB Asante Samuel on a three-year, $18.5 million contract.
The trade is all but complete. Samuel's old deal had $21.3 million over two years remaining in base salary alone, so he's accepting a sizable pay cut from that contract. The Philly Inquirer confirms the Eagles will "likely" receive a sixth-round pick in exchange, while also unloading a heavy dose of cap space.
