Patriots: Samuel's holdout to be short?


Asante Samuel is not expected to sign a long-term extension with the Pats before Monday's deadline. In fact, he's quite likely to be a no-show when training camp begins later this month, according to the Boston Herald. The positive news is that a source close to Samuel said that while he wouldn't be suprised if the cornerback held out into the season, a more likely scenario would be ending his holdout early in camp so he'd be in shape for Week 1. It appears the Pats' franchise player would rather be ready from the start, perform well, and seek a bigger contract next offseason.
