I hope you're wrong and they do. Springs is "the monkey on the back" of the Redskins. He hasn't played a full season in how many years? He's a complete waste of $6 million. Each and every year, he refuses to renegotiate his contract and never participates in off season workouts. Just my opinion but Springs should have been let go weeks ago, no matter what the outcome of Hall's status with the team would have been.
Now that they have Hall signed, let him go! Use that $6 million for a FA O-lineman and our 1st round draft pick (hopefully an offensive lineman).

Man, do they love him that much that they are willing to risk not addressing the offensive line?

Vinny was on 980, and he mentioned addressing the o-line, but also said he had to do some more work on clearing the cap room. Sounded real tired. I don't really have a link, and before he even mentioned the o-line, he said the draft picks from last year have to take the next step for the offense to be effective.

Well there you have it, he's being released. They definitely recognize the need to get younger on the lines (especially headed into an uncapped world) is more valuable than having Springs around for just a season more or two.

I like the move, I'm just surprised they were able to part with a player the coaches loved so much. Good job by the front office in making a business decision.

why so dissapointed on canty? 10 career sacks in 4 seasons, i realize he was a 3-4 defensive end, but i think it would have been a gamble to get him too. id rather use the money elsewhere if we have any left

I'm thinking now that if we sign another lineman, I think we move back in the draft and take Mack or Robinson.

I guess I just figured we would be letting Springs go cause we signed Hall and Canty was a move that might be replacing Taylor or taking up Springs money.

We need to do this anyways

I know the Giants value DL depth above all else, but where in the world would he play in that defense? Three-technique?
