The Eagles next free agency move could be signing veteran CB Shawn Springs. Springs has been a solid corner over the years for the Redskins. Springs is visiting the Eagles. The Eagles should be able to add the experienced (12 years) 34-yeard-old CB to a low-to-moderate price. Presumably, Springs would be the 4th corner on the depth chart.

The move could also assist the Eagles move Sheldon Brown to safety. A secondary of Asante Samuel, Joselio Hanson, Sheldon Brown, and Quitin Mikell would work extremely well and Springs would be a nickel corner.

    that would be the ideal thing to do. but i would like to see if eagles could get jermanie phillips beacause he is a pretty good saftey and would increase our depth in the secondary if we get phillips and spirngs

    Well i was just on sirius late hits and i asked the guys what they thought of the eagles situation with bringing in shawn springs and everything and they told me that they wouldnt be surprised to see springs play safety in the twilight of his years here and also he is going to be too expensive just to play as a dime back and they paid Hanson too much to play any less than a nickle. They also said it is possible that sheldon could make the move to safety but hes way to dominant at corner. They also brought up the name Jack Ikeguona and said that he will probablly be the eagles dime back. So this is the formation im seeing regardless what the fellas on late hits said.

    Cornerbacks- Asante Samuel, Sheldon Brown
    Strong Safety- Quentin Mikell
    Free Safety- Quentin Demps, Shawn Springs
    Nickleback- Jeselio Hanson
    Dimeback- Jack Ikeguona

      That makes more sense. I think the Eagles have a very good picture in the secondary despite the loss of Dawkins.
  • i think this isn't a bad move. sheldon brown has very good coverage skills and is still very physical, i actually think he's an upgrade over mr dawkins. we will be able to be more creative in coverage schemes if sheldon is moved to safety
  • their are so many better corners available than springs this makes no sense... if its to move springs to safety their are a few safeties that are significantly better than him and wouldn't need to learn a new position. WTF is going on??

    on the bench
  • i guarantee anyone if they sign springs it will be to play free safety. quote me and trust me
  • no where

    We don't need him...William Moore

    is our answer
  • Ok hes on the Pats and you guys must be joking...Springs at free safety--No way he'll do that even if they want him to (which they don't). Also, he is not better than Dawkins, moron. That guy is a near HOF candidate at safety...I hope you guys don't represent the majority of Eagles fans, because this is laughable
