What it says ...

"The Redskins appear to be so confident they will deal Bailey in the coming week that they already are searching for his replacement. NFL sources said Washington is seriously interested in acquiring Seattle veteran Shawn Springs as an unrestricted free agent. Springs, a seven-year veteran who went to Springbrook High School in Silver Spring, would team with Fred Smoot as the Redskins' starting cornerback tandem."

Springs would be cool with me.
The best news about this news is that the staff realizes that they've got to move quickly on those good FA CB's once the Bailey deal is done.
Signing a good CB immediately should quiet some critics about the Portis trade too.

If this works out, and the skins can add a Springs (or similar/better CB) then use the 5 pick on STaylor- in my opinion the secondary would be upgraded from last year on top of the obvious RB upgrade Portis gives us. I'm enjoying this radical rebuilding. I think, ultimately the staff is going to praised for the bold moves they've made. It looks like the player cuts and Bailey's exit will leave us room to grab some talented Dlinemen in FA too (in a perfect world: Wistrom D.Howard and C.Griffin but i'm dreamin).

I just want to see what they pull off next. Couple RB's, and Gardner could get us picks.
Tune in tomorrow
