I think Springs would be a great safety. My problem is that given the current roster and the fact that they do not have the resources (picks, caproom) to improve the line and pick up a #1 corner.

Now if Rogers had turned into the player that we thought we drafted, I would say go for it but right now we have 1 #1 corner and 3 #2's (after the Macklin signing). I think it would hurt the team to switch our #1.

I also believe that this is the last year for Springs in D.C. When he used his leverage to turn down the restructuring it turned this into a contract year for him. I think they brought in Macklin for an audition this year and if Macklin or Rogers don't emerge, they will be corner shopping next year when cutting Springs will free up some cap.
