Asante Samuel (R) with LeSean McCoy

Asante Samuel lately has been seen, not heard around the NovaCare Complex.

 

Barely seen.

Sure, he's rehabbing a tight hamstring that will keep him out of the season finale against the Redskins.

But  until the past two weeks, Samuel has been a regular at the open locker room, if only to tell reporters he's not talking.

The absence is an obvious indication his time in Philadelphia is almost up, and the Eagles don’t want him telling the world he expects to be traded.

That would diminish his value and put the organization he accused of engaging in a power struggle with Andy Reid, in a  nasty light.
