Will Samuels return? Marcum thinks so

At some point in the very near future, Storm WR/LB Lawrence Samuels, who without question is one of the greatest players ever to compete in the AFL, will make a decision. The 38-year-old will either play a 16th season or step down.

Samuels gave no hints at any point during the season, or after last week's season finale, what he might do. When asked, he simply said him and his wife would talk things over and decide what path to follow.

Storm coach Tim Marcum said he hasn't yet talked to Samuels about the future. But when asked what he thought Samuels, the AFL's all-time receptions leader, might do, he said his gut told him a return to the field is possible, if not likely.

"I think Lawrence still wants to play football," Marcum said.

If so, then the question becomes this: Would he play here?

"As always, he's going to play here if the numbers are right ... absolutely," Marcum said.
