NOTEBOOK: The Lions have shown interest Washington cornerback Shawn Springs, who could be traded or released. But Millen said he liked what he had in Fernando Bryant, Stanley Wilson, Keith Smith and Dee McCann. "It's not like we're void of talent," Millen said. ...

This is interesting, and the first time I have heard anything like this.

No shit. I'll admit he's pretty old and oft banged up but, who the F else do we have back there? WE NEED HIM.

I had heard they were trying to acquire Springs as part of the Bly trade. I'm guessing with that wrapped up Springs will be staying in Washington for next season.

Yeah i posted this over at another Redskins site tonight.I live in Michigan a hour away from Detroit and the word around here.Is the Lions want Detroit if they can find a way to pick him up.I am sure they would rather have us cut him.Lets hope we just keep Springs i mean i am happy about getting Smoot.That does not mean i would be happy going into next season.With Smoot and Rogers as our starters.Springs,Smoot and Rogers sound a lot better to me.

I would not be banking on that one. I would also like to have Springs back if he can play?
However, they want him to take a pay cut and rework his deal? Not so sure we'll have his services next year.

hello. springs is our best corner, by a mile. our defense was horrible last season. so getting rid of your best cover corner just doesnt make sense

Springs is getting paid BIG money to be a Redskin this season. Only way he wouldn't be in DC would be HUGE trade (not gonna happen) or retirement (not gonna happen). Springs gonna make something around 8.3 million this season I heard (check it!). End of story.

Not even close.
Springs Salary for 07 = 4.8 mil, OBonuses= 2.4 mil
Springs Cap for 07 = 7.3 mil
Springs Release fee for 07= 7.3 mil

"Big Money" is what Clements is getting paid. I would argue that Springs, when healthy, is as good as Clements. If they let him go there is nobody on the market who can cover the other team's #1 as well as Springs.
