On paper, Asante Samuel Jr. appears like an ideal free agent target for the Miami Dolphins. That's particularly true in the aftermath of the franchise trading away starting outside cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Samuel still wading in the free agent waters.

In May, the Dolphins were showing interest in free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. They may have even more need for him now that they've traded Jalen Ramsey, but recent comments from Samuel's father would suggest that there will be no signing.

Asante Samuel Sr. may have scuttled any chance of his son signing with the Dolphins. The former Patriots star went scorched earth on the AFC East squad for having a lack of leadership in the aftermath of the recent trade that sent Jalen Ramsey to the Steelers.
