We need not one, but TWO corners. Rogers is a nickel at best.

Problem is, defensive linemen have the better value for the draft position we're likely to have.

It's a wash, cap-wise, whether we keep or release Springs. Springs makes the team better when he is out there. Assuming he doesn't restructure, he'll be around at least another year, at which point it will cost $3 million more to keep him than to cut him. If he is hurt for a part of next season, then he'll be gone.

However, the more likely situation is, as I mentioned in another thread, that he will restructure. This latest injury seriously hurts his marketability, so he's going to have to be flexible since he really can't go anywhere else and make what he could make here.
