Springs Released

SmootSmack · 03-03-2009, 07:12 PM

There's some speculation that if Springs goes to Philly, or even if he doesn't, Sheldon Brown may be part of a package that goes to St. Louis for Torry Holt

Wasn't Sheldon Brown already traded by the eagles?

It's tough to see him go, but he is getting older and older and just can't stay healthy.

I think it's a little strange Springs is shopping in Philly. His natural destinations would be Dallas (family), AZ (home?), or NO (connection to Williams). I don't want to think he's looking at another NFC East rival to spite us but i never thought a lot of Springs anyway...

I think it's more that Philly values him than the other way around.

12thMan · 03-04-2009, 09:24 AM

I think he might be signing with Philly.

I don't understand how they don't value Dawkins, but value Springs. I accept that Dawkins skills were declining, and Springs skills when healthy are still above average to excellent. Even so, I just don't get it - Dawkins gave Philly EVERYTHING every game, Springs just couldn't stay on the field long enough to be reliable.

The guy is from Silver Spring, AZ is not home.

Wow. It looks like it's going to be Philly. Ain't that just a kick in the crotch.

Springs scheduled to visit Philly - NFC East - ESPN

Not really, seeing him on the sidelines in an Eagles sweatshirt won't hurt any more than seeing him on the sidelines in a Redskins sweatshirt.

Very true. A stiff breeze is enough to cause Springs to miss a game and its far windier in Philly than it is in DC.

I'm sure they were taking it for granted that he would be back, but Denver blew Dawkins away with an offer.

Denver minus Shanahan appears to be one of those organizations with no direction.

But it absoultely hurts the quality of the Eagles defense. They simply got outbid.
