Right now Springs is our only starting caliber cornerback on the team. Rogers and Smoot are nickel caliber currently. Therefore, any talk about releasing Springs would be devastating for our secondary, in my opinion, unless we have a clear #1 CB as a replacement.

We could use another corner for depth given the brittle nature of Springs (and Smoot for that matter). Instead of pursuing guys like Travis Fisher, I would like to see the Skins' FO end this cycle of rotating CBs and try to snatch Josh Wilson in the draft. I think we'll need to try to get a third rounder from someone to do it--but how about getting a young guy in there so that next year--when we will be contemplating dumping Springs again--we don't have to go through this merry go round again.

Alternatively, maybe a veteran CB will be let go post June 1 cuts and he could round out our CB depth.
