Shawn Springs as a FA pickup?

[Bishop]

I think Springs would be ideal. He could start opposite M&M when he returns, and our rookie could have some experience by then. Two new CBs would be nice.

As a stop-gap for a recovering McKenzie though it wouldn't be the worst idea on the planet. Unfourtantly, of course, about when we would be gauging McKenzie's recovery and potentially looking for veteran alternatives (July and August), Springs will likely already be off the market.

that's why they shouldn't wait. i hope day one of FA they pull the trigger on atleast 2 defensive guys. i dont care what positions. be agressive. prove that you have the want to change the team where it needs to be changed

Springs would be an upgrade over, say Thomas, Craft or David. He's not the premier cover corner he once was, but as a guy who can fill in until McKenzie is ready or on the other side so we don't have to throw a rookie (as an example) into the fire right away.

He's worth considering.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind him either.

If we draft a CB at #10 or 2nd round/3rd round...we have upgraded the CB spot.

Springs and Florence would make me feel much more comfortable when teams go deep on us, because both are decent cover guys

4 some reason I almost feel that Florence is going 2 be a saint maybe because of his connection 2 Brees. Just my gut feeling.

I wouldn't mind him coming in here and playing. He could play in MM's place until he's 100% and then move over to the other side once MM is back all the way.
