| 5th April, 2007 - 2:13 pm |  Boston Herald - Fed up with a lack of movement on his contract negotiations, Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel told the NFL Network last night that he?s prepared to seek a trade.
?This is to let everybody know that I?m not happy anymore and things are not going well,? Samuel said. ?At first I thought it was going well, but it?s not. We have a difference of opinion in my value. They think I?m worth one price and the other teams think I?m worth a lot more. If a long-term deal can?t be done at fair numbers for me and New England, then I want to be traded.?
The Pats placed the franchise tag on Samuel before the start of free agency, guaranteeing a one-year salary of $7.79 million but promising to negotiate toward a multi-year extension.
