Packers, Panthers and Vikings set meetings with CB Asante Samuel Jr.
Samuel, 26, was cleared to return after undergoing spinal/neck fusion surgery in April. A 2021 second-round pick of the Chargers, he’s started 47 games across four seasons, totaling 176 tackles, six interceptions and 37 passes defended (plus three INTs in his lone playoff game).
Primarily an outside corner, he’s allowed a 59.5% completion rate in coverage over his career and could play some slot in a pinch.
Took me 10 seconds of Asante Samuel Jr highlights to want him over Nixon.

If he can return to even 50% of what he was he might be our best corner.
Bring him in and don’t let him walk away without a deal!!! Not one CB in Green Bay right now is doing this. pic.twitter.com/qQ5OkYVxkN
Each suitor has a clear need. The Panthers have Jaycee Horn playing at a high level but are thin behind him.
The Packers are dealing with injuries and inconsistency on the boundary. The Vikings’ corner room has been up-and-down, with depth concerns as they push for a playoff spot.
