Monkeydad 02-27-2009, 09:06 AM I was really hoping we could work some magic and fit Canty in. I was daydreaming of a starting d-line of Haynesworth, Canty, Griffin, and Taylor.
Why no Carter?
Carter, Griffin, Haynesworth and Taylor looks good enough to me.
How about your line with Taylor at LB?
Skinny Tee 02-27-2009, 09:19 AM Cap is tight right now, maybe room for Dockery, maybe. We could release Springs and gain $6M in space, which will be enough for a big money OL, but I don't think we'll do that.
They still love Springs.
Thanks for getting back to me.
I'd still like a high end OL out of free agency. Our draft options would be able to open up a little more if that happens.

I hope you're wrong and they do. Springs is "the monkey on the back" of the Redskins. He hasn't played a full season in how many years? He's a complete waste of $6 million. Each and every year, he refuses to renegotiate his contract and never participates in off season workouts. Just my opinion but Springs should have been let go weeks ago, no matter what the outcome of Hall's status with the team would have been.
Now that they have Hall signed, let him go! Use that $6 million for a FA O-lineman and our 1st round draft pick (hopefully an offensive lineman).

Man, do they love him that much that they are willing to risk not addressing the offensive line?

Vinny was on 980, and he mentioned addressing the o-line, but also said he had to do some more work on clearing the cap room. Sounded real tired. I don't really have a link, and before he even mentioned the o-line, he said the draft picks from last year have to take the next step for the offense to be effective.
Big C 02-27-2009, 10:13 AM why so dissapointed on canty? 10 career sacks in 4 seasons, i realize he was a 3-4 defensive end, but i think it would have been a gamble to get him too. id rather use the money elsewhere if we have any left
TheMalcolmConnection 02-27-2009, 10:42 AM I'm thinking now that if we sign another lineman, I think we move back in the draft and take Mack or Robinson.

Why does everyone love Canty so much? He barely did anything in Dallas. Carter is better than Canty.

Well there you have it, he's being released. They definitely recognize the need to get younger on the lines (especially headed into an uncapped world) is more valuable than having Springs around for just a season more or two.
I like the move, I'm just surprised they were able to part with a player the coaches loved so much. Good job by the front office in making a business decision.

I think we could have (and wanted to) keep Springs around if he would have restructrured like everyone else over 30 on our roster. He refused to take any kind of pay cut. I seriously doubt he finds $6M per year anywhere else.
