Springs Released

Dockery and Willis.

And a pony.

He is a great corner but I question his heart the past couple of years. It seemed we had guys playing with alot more injuries while he sat back on the bench watching people like Smoot strugle to get up after making a tackle. It just seemed like it was all about him and the money he was getting he should have done more to get out on the field.

i wish we could have traded springs. someone would have traded a mid-round pick for him. now that springs is gone will the skins get a conditional pick?

He wasnt a free agent, so we dont get anything.

No that's not how it works. We cut him, we didn't lose him via free agency which is what conditional picks deal with.

Springs was a great player for us...but it was just getting rediculous with the injuries. He can't be counted on anymore for the long haul. He missed like 8 games from a calf bruise. Good luck Shawn.

Shame to see Springs go, but it makes sense. He's old and we need to infuse youth into the offensive line. We've got the space to do it now.

Springs definitely got a bad rap with some fans. He had some very good years for us. Best of luck to him.

Those of us who faced criticism when we voiced our dissatisfaction with the release of Leigh Torrence instead of Shawn Springs are now justified.

Why? SS was the better of the two, Hall is as good or better than Torrence, and had Torrence been kept Haynesworth may not have been an option.

"As good or better than Torrence". I could not let this slide. This is one of the funniest posts that I have ever read. Torrence was a good role player. He should not be in the same sentence, paragraph or novel as Deangelo Hall.

Springs was extremely talented but he stopped selling out for this team a couple of years ago. It was obvious that he knew this day was coming last year and he refused to put his next contract at risk. He would have played that way again this year (choosing to sit out than to risk further injury) so choosing Hall over Springs was the right move. Springs would not have been on the field enough.

P.S. I am in the process of changing my name because I don't think it is appropriate. I would never disrespect 21

He is still very good if healthy. But thats a huge if. He had to go not willing to restructure, Too much for a guy playing half a year.
