Springs's Status

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Redskins chose Landry, an uncertain offseason continued for cornerback Shawn Springs. According to league sources, the Atlanta Falcons offered the Redskins a draft-day trade that included Springs and a swap of draft picks, a deal the Redskins rejected.

It was unclear what the Falcons offered in addition to the eighth pick, which Atlanta used to draft Arkansas defensive end Jamaal Anderson. The Redskins have shopped Springs on at least two occasions this offseason. The Detroit Lions have expressed interest, as did the Falcons yesterday. . . .

Gibbs said he was pleased with his defense, but said if the Redskins were to attempt to make a trade during the second day of the draft today, it would likely be to improve depth at linebacker. . . .

Wynn, who had been a candidate to be released, restructured his contract, accepting a base salary of $850,000 with a $500,000 signing bonus and an opportunity to earn $1.5 million in performance incentives. He had been scheduled to earn $2.8 million.
