trade with pats

we shouldn't risk giving up shawn springs in a trade because carlos rogers tends to get hurt and we will have much more depth by keeping springs, not to mention, springs has been one our best defensive players, and rogers is to unexperienced to be depended on.

This trade possibility intrigues me, rogers and smoot are no better than 2 corners, macklin was a 3 or 4 in a bad d, and im basically assuming that springs will be hurt the entire season, and because of spring's brittle body, i think that we should get rid of him, and we might as well get something for him. Good defenses need good corners, so I think that Asante would be a good pickup (assuming we pay him for his value, not how much we normally overpay), and id take Asante and a 24 pick over the 6 pick, the 6 pick is unproven and gets a crapload of money while Asante is proven and the 24 pick doesnt get that much money.

springs is no longer a shut down corner and they do throw his direction.hes getting old and slower too.we only have 2 quality corners.macklin is depth,and ade jimoh blows.i dont see why we even resigned him.

You should watch what you are saying. Speaking about Ade that way won't win you many points around here.

Sounds like it's bvd420 vs. the world! ;-)

Springs usually plays in 12-15 games/year. Last year some idiot doctor couldn't figure out that his groin needed "fixing" until just before the season. So he needs to recover during the season and has to go in before he's gotten his body back up to full strength. Strangely, he got injured and missed more time. As we all know, the defense as a whole played terribly, but had a couple of very good games. And miraculously, they occurred when Springs, that terrible CB, was playing. In my view the scenario is as follows:
Springs out: terrible defense
Springs in (and the other players in sync with him): respectable defense.

By my estimation, Springs is the player they can least afford to lose.

Let's see what happens this year.
