McCoy, Samuel before 2011 Patriots game at Linc.

Cornerback Asante Samuel reacted on Twitter Friday to a zing from Eagles head coach Andy Reid.

Reid apparently told Philly.com that Samuel was in deep decline and didn't fit the Eagles' system. Samuel was traded to the Falcons for a seventh-round draft pick.

Samuel intercepted 23 passes in four seasons with the Eagles, leading the team in the category every season but  2011, where he had just three picks.

Reid is 38-25-1 with Samuel on the roster but just 18-14 over the last two years.

Eagles running back LeSean McCoy backed his former teammate in a tweet:
