He was asked about Springs future with the club and his answer was not positive. Given Springs large number and his injury history it sounds like he may be gone. Maske speculated that the Redskins will probably be in the market for two cornerbacks with one of the aquisitions being Clements or Samuel (if they are available). Maske said that the desire for Springs to leave may be shared by both sides.
Part of me agrees with letting him go but then I am conflicted that they would use the cap number against him, especially when he has restructured to help the team in the past.
I would almost say sign a corner and give Springs one more year.

I don't get why Springs would want to go. And I really don't get why we'd want to get rid of our best corner? That makes no sense. We sure this wasn't speculation? Injury prone no doubt but with a restructure he can really help us.
Jesus this better not be another 'He's replaceable'. Guess what guys, he's not. Quality corners who can tackle number in the like 6's. Why we'd get rid of one for nothing makes no sense.

It was definitely speculation on his part but I consider Maske to be fairly credible. Also, Springs has an injury history and they are paying him a ton of money to miss games.
His injury crippled the defense last year.

I'd say his injury was the straw that broke the camel's back. The D had been crippled long before he started missing games.

I hope they can work it out, but then again I recall an article in the post in which springs was joking w/guys & saying "nice playing w/you" after the giants game.
Who knows, maybe it actually was Springs that was talking in the Friend article? If he really wants to go, we'll let him given his cap $.

I would almost say sign a corner and give Springs one more year.Ultimately it would cost us money against the cap to cut him, so thats not happening, at least this one season. Next season could be a whole different issue.

Didnt Springs just restructure?
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he did.

I thought I read that they approached him but I have not heard that he has.
I would like them to give him at least one more year.
I don't see why he would want to leave, who is going to give him a deal that compares with what he will get here??
