Springs Released (UPDATED)
Shawn Springs To Be Released Today (UPDATED) - Redskins Insider
Quote:
The Redskins have informed the veteran cornerback that he will be released from the final year of his contract, according to league sources. Springs, a free agent signing in 2004 and a Silver Spring native, will become an unrestricted free agent.
The Redskins will save $6 million in cap space by letting him go - badly needed at this time after the huge signings of CB DeAngelo Hall and DT Albert Haynesworth - and Springs could garner interest from New England, Dallas and Baltimore, among others. The Redskins are still trying to re-sign G Derrick Dockery as well.
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with Shawn, and he confirmed the news. He said he loved being a Redskin and his five seasons here, but understands the business side of things.
"They did what's best for the team, and I'm happy for them," Springs said. "I'm going to miss my friends there, but as long as it makes the team better, I understand. I'm a true fan of the sport."

So much for the rumors about trading him to Houston for a 4th rounder.
