I do think Springs will stay, provided he survives the next 4 days. We need at least a month of his services in 2008.

Due to the restructuring of his contract in the past, we can only recover about 2.5 million of that 7 if we cut him. Though cutting him now makes a better situation for 2009, (when we would recover all of his current cap number), speaking purely about 2008, we don't save enough cap room by cutting him to sign a CB who can play at his level right away.
