It is getting awfully crowded at the CB position. Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Macklin and now Butler have all been starters in this league. I figure Springs, Rogers and Smoot are on the final roster with Macklin and Butler duking it out for the fourth slot. Not sure if we will keep 5 CB's.

The only way Jimoh makes it is if his special teams contributions carry him. They just might do that - Gibbs has praised him on those grounds often.

more than likely we will keep 5 of them

Reed Doughty S
Omar Stoutmire S
David Maclin CB
Ade Jimoh CB
John Eubanks CB
Leigh Torrence CB
Byron Westbrook CB
Jerametrius Butler CB

i dont see westbrook, torrence, or eubanks staying and this could still mean that springs is still on the trading block maybe springs for schobel.

We really should to address the DE situation and Schoebel would be great for that! But if we give up Springs who out of all of our #2CBs would we put on the Steve Smiths of the world? But if we could actually get pressure up front QBs would have less time; and the corners wouldnt have to cover so long... All in all with Springs age and injury history and the fact that we KNOW he wont be around much longer makes me want to pull the trigger on this deal

Without them it still leaves 6 CBs and 6 safties. Springs might be on the trading block.

I guess schobel wouldnt get traded w/o a draft pick or two from us - which really makes me sad if this plays out and we send away a second roounder w/ Springs.

i dont see reed doughty staying either. But maybe we send Springs and a 6th for schobel, but if we had to i would want to see springs for schobel str8 up.

Butler could be just a look and see before anyone else signs him because we had an interest in him a couple years ago. The Rams signed Mike Rhump and chose to let Butler go......Go figure.

It may mean the end of Chip Cox.

A 6th or stright up would be the only way this should be considered imo

That's great, we can never have too many guys trying-out for jobs to play in our secondary. Since our D-line is so stout against the run, and just awesome at getting preasure on the quarterback, I see why went after this guy. Yep, this makes all the sense in the world. And hey guys did you know that Wynn and Griffin are having car shows at Redskins Park. What?!?! Are you kidding me?!?!

Where is the outrage?!?!

What does the car show have to do with anything?

Oh I don't know, maybe his skills or just too good to worry about playing at a high level. So, therefor he doesn't have to worry about his job or anybody else's on the defense. He can just concentrate on his cars.

I understand your frustration about the move. I agree that we really don't need Butler. Unless there's some other move on the horizon; the only one that would even be worthwhile though is trading Springs for a DT/DE. Even then it depends on who we get in return.

But I think your car show argument makes no sense at all. They have lives outside of football.
