Smootsmack, that could be a possibility, but I'm sure Springs is slated to play CB first.
Going after Butler simply means they're looking for depth. Bauman is fine as the nickel back, but we need at least one more defensive back in case he goes down, or Smoot or Springs get injured. Certainly don't want to be in the position to have to depend on Ade Jimoh.
Well, I'm sure Ade Jimoh Fan Club will have something to say about that. ;)

Yeah, what's up with that? Is he really a fan of Ade Jimoh? When I first saw his screen name, I couldn't stop laughing.

I hope he's not Ade Jimoh...I'd be upset that we poked fun at him.
Give him a little break, he was an undrafted rookie.

Jimoh actually did decent but got burned a few times. Give him some developmental time.
Even if that was the real Ade Jimoh. He's playing, we're playing monday morning QBs. I think he has the upper hand! 8)

I highly doubt Butler will be brought in to be back up to bauman. Butler was a starter last year with 95 tackles and 4 ints. those are pretty darn good stats and it will be nice to know we have 3 starter quality cbs in case of injury and 3 WR sets which I'm sure the cowpies will be running a lot once they get johnson and so might the eagles if they do wind up getting TO. it's not an expensive deal and I seriously doubt we could find a decent nickelback quality cb with the fifth round pick much less one who could be a starter for a lot of teams.

Isn't this back to Smoots first year? 3 starter quality CB's - Smoot, DG and Bailey. I think we did OK in the coverage dept. that year....
Springs isn't exactly an ironman, so that's why this move makes sense. We'll be 4 deep at corner which isn't a bad positon to be in at all.

Seems like they always found our third corner last year. THis will help. It's also depth in the d-backfield. Better than we could have gotten in round five. A nice move, though it's gonna be a short draft!

At least we have a 1st rounder!

This offer sheet is a six year $15m deal. That is ludicrous for a player who will be number 3 or 4 AT BEST on the depth chart.
We really do not need to give up another draft pick either.
There is no way the Rams will match, they are laughing their asses off at a fifth rounder falling into their laps.
