Per the ESPN ticker, Dre Bly has been traded to Denver. Looks like we're looking at Clements and/or Smoot and, since some other cap-rich team will likely outbid us for Clements, we'll probably end up with Smoot and Rogers as our corners with some less well-known corner as the nickel.

I think we keep Springs for 2007 and cut him on this day, 2008.
And somehow I've reached 2,500 posts. My only question is this: when the heck did I hit 2000?

Wow. If the Broncos have Bly at one corner and Champ at the other, that ought to give their defensive coordinators a lot of flexibility in terms of blitzes...

If we go into 07' with Smoot/Rogers as our corners, I think were in trouble. We need to keep Springs if thats the case. I mean I like both guys, but thats a huge risk imo.

Yeah, that's taking a big time risk with Smoot and Rogers. Smoot has a tendency to get beat, but I love the intensity the guy brings, the way he plays, and yes, all the smack he talks. All that, and he usually can play hurt AND hang onto interceptions. He's not great, but I think he's as good as anyone they'd have, more because Springs can't stay healthy than anything else.

Yeah we have to keep Springs. I am not a big fan of dumping our best corner. Get a damn restructure worked out.

Sign Smoot keep Springs sign Fletcher and then sign some surprise 35 million dollar contract player hopefully for the Defense and we are done. I won't be shocked if they make a big play for Clements, but I don't think we can bully other teams under these cap conditions.
