Tom Friend on Riggins Show

I heard the interview as well. What stood out to me was that when Riggo asked him if he had an offseason laundry list of what the skins might do, and Tom Friend said "well, will they cut Springs and sign Nate Clements?".......

Why would he ask if the Skins were going to cut Springs? Maybe because Springs wants to get cut? I don't know .....just throwing some stuff out there.

good pick up, interesting.........very interesting.........

If they sign Nate Clements then they will probably have to cut Shawn Springs - Clements wouldn't want to sign unless he was assured of being a starter, and Rogers is too young to let go.

True, but my point is.....why would the Redskins cut Springs? He's clearly one of our leaders on defense and our best corner.

i heard alot of rumors saying that it was Springs and on the radio after the game i guy asked certain players whut they thought and he'd say most of the guy did'nt lik it but Springs said sumthing funny and said its okAy for a guy 2 be T.O. because he get's attention Bram said that on da post-game report but i heard he said it wasn't him on comcast but i don't no

what language is that?

seriously learn to s-p-e-l-l

just fucking with you man, but that is true what you said.

it may have ben springs, seriously. he was acting funny about the whole thing to me

If they sign Clements than Springs will have to be cut - you can't pay 2 corners that much money and leave the D-Line they way it is. Plus Springs will make over $7.5 million next year and he was out for half the year this year so do the Skins take that chance again? What was interesting is according to the releasing fee schedule on this site if the Skins cut him after this year the releasing fee is down to $4.9 million from $7.4, if the Skins cut Springs in 2008 the releasing fee goes down to $2.5 million - I could see them cutting him after 2008 since his cap number will be $8.4 in 2009 and the releasing fee will only be $2.5 million. They could than draft another corner or sign a free agent at that time and the cap would be saved in 2007.

My bet on the mole is Adam Archuletta - he has been relegated to punt team and he can't even get that right. The coaches have been reported to make a mockery of him at practice and he seems like he really wants out of here.

I heard an interview with Springs, on i think it was Redskins.com, after the game and he said it wasn't him, because if it had been him he would've spoke up about it, if he had an issue people would know.

funny guy i should have known by your name but yea it's true and him and T.O. are friends but i don't no he really don't seem like that type of person

Another option that hasn't been mentioned here. I think I read somewhere that Springs would consider a move to safety to extend his career. I could see Springs being a great complement to Taylor in the safety position since he's a superior cover guy and solid tackler. Realistically, that's what I figured we'd being going after instead of AA. Archuleta is basically another Taylor style safety.

I would agree with you on Archuleta being the mole except for the fact that a lot of the info from the article would indicate the player has been with the organization since Williams arrived on the scene. OMG, what if its Ade?:spank:

Moving Springs to safety ehhhh????????? Interesting. Springs might also take a reserve role, albeit an expensive one. He is having a lot of injury problems, and at his age will probably get worse
