As to Horton a trade makes sense if 1) Springs restructures favorably and moves to FS for us where he should be less prone to injury and likely to play strong for 3 or so more years and 2) Los is retained and Hall signed 3) we can get at least a 3rd rounder out of the trade. Why? With a starting secondary of Los/Hall at CB and Landry/Springs at SS/FS I'd argue we'll be even better than the '08 secondary. And also there's a value aspect to trading a 6th round guy for a 3rd or 2nd round pick, say another talented guy for o or d line where we need real help. I'd argue the set-up leaves us pretty deep at safety because because Doughty and Moore will be back.
Springs does not restructure, he hasn't in the past and i dont see him doing us any favors.

Horton was our 7th round pick and i don't see any team giving us anything above a 4th for him.
