Fair, but as I also said, its my opinion and its just as valid as yours. i feel i have far more evidence to show he has lost his heart for the game than you have to show he hasnt.

Nothing? Really?

The goodwill he had when he came here has slowly deteriorated over the years as his performance and availability for games has declined. He was a question mark every single week last year. sometimes he played, sometimes he didnt. he (allegedly) secretly went and aired dirt in the media two seasons ago. when you listen to him on the radio, its obvious he is just in it for the money, and doesnt care about staying in Washington.

He was hurt last year, but you'd like him to give back the money due to him in exchange for the vet min?

dont be ridiculous. he was grossly overpaid last year. we all know it. Springs knows it. we're suckers and he's milking us for all we're worth. Its very smart from his perspective as he's getting money no one else would pay him... but from the team perspective, its foolish.

I'd always thought he would end his career in Arizona actually (but Dallas is a possibility I suppose). If he does that, I'd miss him as a player on the Redskins but I'd wish him the best as he'd be closer to home and family.

He'd love to play on the same team as his bff Terrell Owens. the fact that Springs is so close with Owens is all we really need to know about his character.

But you don't seem to want to evaluate his performance on the field.

i know he's started only 29 of his last 48 regular season games and been paid handsomely for it. I also know that in 3 of the last 4 years, he only had one interception a year. i know he defended 7 passes in 2008 and made about a million bucks for each of them. I know at this point in the his career, he would make a very good free safety if he could stay healthy, which is a huge question mark.

i know if he really wants to play football, and if he really wants to play football for the redskins, we will be more than willing to give him a new contract that pays him more than anyone else would pay him to play safety... i'm also 90% certain that Springs would reject such an offer. id like nothing for than for him to prove me wrong, but we'll see where Springs is on opening day 2009.
