You need at least three good CB's to be successful in the NFL. We only have three good ones:
1) Springs
2) Hall
3) Rogers

All of our other CB's are not good enough. We would suffer a serious drop off in the level of play if Smoot or any of the other CB's were forced into action.
Drafting a strong CB would require a top 15 pick. We have too many other needs to be creating a CB need.
So please stop the trade and get rid of Springs & Rogers.

I agree, we have 3 very good cover corners. Many have said we need to get rid of springs, I think this will be a major mistake. When healthy he is the best corner we have. He covers whoever we put him on and does it without help over the top. We need to look at restructuring his deal and bring him back.

This move is just common sense

honestly i would rather say goodbye to Shawn Springs

Definitely. While Springs is the best of all of our corners; he's big and physical and can shut down TO type receivers about as well as anyone, he just can't stay healthy, and he's getting old which even furthers his risk. It's great to have him around, but he's just not worth the cap space.

I agree that Springs is our best corner. When healthy he is one of the best in the NFL. I just hope if we keep him and pay him 6Mil next year, he can at least start 12 or more games for us. If he restructures that would be fine, but I haven't seen anything that would show he would be willing to since he has refused in the past. Maybe he'll have a change of heart, but I would'nt count on it. I wish he would.

Hall is a #1 corner. Rogers isnt.

First thing that everyone has to bear in mind is that we have the #6 ranked passing defense in the league (by yards) and one of the worst pass rushes in the league (according to sacks) so everyone who is hating on our cornerbacks right now needs to step back and put things in perspective.

Neither Hall nor Rogers are a #1 corner right now although they both are still young and have potential to grow. They are both very solid cornerbacks.

There are only a handful of real shutdown corners in the league. We happen to have one actually in Shawn Springs but between his salary and his absenteeism I can't imagine him staying unless he is willing to renegotiate.

In all likelihood they are going to resign Hall and extend Rogers. If Springs isn't willing to play ball (from a negotiating standpoint) then I think you will see him gone.

Also, I don't know why everyone is hating on Fred Smoot. He is a solid third corner back.
