  49ers | Three signed to futures deals    Tue Jan 14, 09:02 PM

The San Francisco 49ers signed WR David Reed, WR DeMarco Sampson and DT Christian Topou to reserve/futures contracts Tuesday, Jan. 14.

Footballguys view: Owners in super deep dynasty leagues should keep an eye on the progress of Sampson. He's a bigger wide receiver who can track passes deep.

  Bills | Five cut    Mon Aug 26, 10:50 AM

The Buffalo Bills cut WR Da'Rick Rogers, DB Dominique Ellis, WR DeMarco Sampson, CB Jumal Rolle and C Ryan Turnley.

Footballguys view: Rogers was an interesting priority free agent for the Bills to add after the draft this year. He did little to impress during his time in Buffalo but may catch on somewhere else. Rogers has an intriguing size/speed combination.

  Bills | DeMarco Sampson signs    Thu May 30, 11:49 AM

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent WR DeMarco Sampson (Eagles) and cut DB Vernon Kearney.

Footballguys view: Sampson was a seventh-round pick by the Cardinals back in 2011. He's got a good size/speed combination but will find it difficult to make the final roster. The Bills are stacked at the position since drafting Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. The team also added incredibly talented UDFA Da'Rick Rogers after the draft.

  Eagles | Two released    Mon May 13, 10:37 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles released WR DeMarco Sampson and DT Ronnie Cameron.

Footballguys view: Sampson was a seventh-round pick by the Cardinals in 2011. He's got an intriguing size/speed combination but durability and inconsistency have prevented him from developing as a pro.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed WR Nick Miller (Rams) and WR DeMarco Sampson (Cardinals) to futures contracts Tuesday, Jan. 8.

  Cardinals | Trim roster to 53    Fri Aug 31, 08:25 PM

The Arizona Cardinals trimmed their roster to 53 players Friday, Aug. 31. The team released CB Crezdon Butler, LB Antonio Coleman, S Blake Gideon, LB Clark Haggans, OG Russ Hochstein, DT Ricky Lumpkin, LB Colin Parker, CB Larry Parker, WR DeMarco Sampson, TE Steve Skelton, RB Alfonso Smith, LB Quan Sturdivant, DE Ron Talley, DE Everrette Thompson, TE Martell Webb, C Scott Wedige, WR Isaiah Williams and OT D.J. Young.

Footballguys view: William Powell had an outstanding preseason and made Smith expendable. He's a name to remember if Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells can't stay healthy this year.

  Cardinals | Two may have edge for No. 5, No.6 WR spots    Thu Jul 19, 02:31 PM

Arizona Cardinals WRs Stephen Williams and DeMarco Sampson may be the favorites for the No. 5 and No. 6 wide receiver spots in the roster. The team will also want those two positions to play on special teams.

Footballguys view: Sampson should stick on the roster, and may have better upside than some think. He was a favorite target of rookie QB Ryan Lindley when they were teammates at San Diego State.

  Cardinals | Week 17 Inactives    Sun Jan 1, 03:19 PM

The Arizona Cardinals have declared RB Beanie Wells, LB Brandon Williams, OT D.J. Young, WR DeMarco Sampson, FS Kerry Rhodes, QB Kevin Kolb, WR Stephen Williams inactive for Week 17.

Footballguys view: The Cardinals probably want to take it easy on Wells balky knee with nothing to gain in this one. Chester Taylor is the desperation play here.

Arizona Cardinals OT Brandon Keith (knee), QB Kevin Kolb (head), LB Joey Porter (knee) and WR DeMarco Sampson (ribs) were limited in practice Friday, Dec. 16, and are questionable for Week 15.

Arizona Cardinals WR Early Doucet (quadriceps), TE Jim Dray (pectoral), TE Todd Heap (hamstring), LB Joey Porter (knee) and WR DeMarco Sampson (hamstring) were limited in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and are questionable for Week 8.

Footballguys view: Kevin Kolb is already facing an uphill battle against the Ravens defense on the road. If he is without Heap and Doucet, or given those outlets with limited effectiveness, then he will be in for a long day.

Arizona Cardinals LB Joey Porter (knee), WR DeMarco Sampson (hamstring), RB LaRod Stephens-Howling (hand) and LB Daryl Washington (calf) were limited in practice Thursday, Sept. 22.

Footballguys view: Stephens-Howling could have a great opportunity with Beanie Wells nursing a hamstring injury, but he is not healthy himself, which means that the Cardinals could have to lean to Chester Taylor and Alfonso Smith.

Footballguys view: Urban holds this pair in stark contrast to fellow Cardinal third-day picks like Sam Acho, Anthony Sherman, and Quan Sturdivant, who he thinks can find playing time right away if they make a smooth transition to the NFL.

  NFL | DeMarco Sampson still recovering from surgery    Fri Feb 25, 11:57 PM

San Diego State WR DeMarco Sampson (knee) said Friday, Feb. 25, at the NFL Scouting Combine that he will only do vertical jump and bench, as he is still recovering from surgery in December to repair a torn mensicus. He played with the injury for most of the 2010 season. Sampson will run at his Pro Day.

Footballguys view: Sampson's injury will likely prevent him from being drafted. He's seen as more of a backup receiver who may need to show ability on special teams if he wants to stick around in the NFL.
