Pittsburgh Steelers insider Mark Kaboly has indicated that cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. could be on the trading block. If third-round rookie Daylen Everette performs well in training camp, Samuel might be moved for a late-round draft pick.

The situation hinges largely on Everette's development during the offseason.
