What exactly makes anyone think that Springs is getting a good amount of money to go there? The guy is 34 and injury prone. I can't see why anyone would be offering him any major money. I could be totally wrong that, for sure, but I just get the feeling it's more about the chance to start vs. being a veteran backup.

yep there are no true studs at safety, some good ones, but none with elite speed, now in the NFL you have to have elite speed like the safeties.

ed reed, polamau, or bob sanders, all of these safeties are burners with 4.45 speed or better.

its like belichick patriots head coach said, with spread type offenses and west coast offenses, you have to have safeties with speed,

thats what the cowboys lack at safety, and none in this draft ran better than 4.47 i think,

I think 4.47 would be plenty fast enough. If those other guys are around 4.45 then 4.47 is in the range to make plays.

What we need is more guys with a lot of study time, some speed, and some nose for the ball. Ed Reed is so great not just because of his speed (Though that's nice) but because he studies like crazy and has a great nose for the ball.

The Roy Williams stuff wasn't predictions though, neither were the coaching hires I got right. If I am predicting something I say it is just that.

We have no corners? When did we cut TNew, Jenkins, and Scandrick?

Being a Newman injury away from Alan Ball playing the slot does not strike fear into opposing defenses.

We have 11 picks in this draft.. I'm sure Ciskowski can find us one more corner... He found two keepers last year.. I'm for drafting a SS,FS and a Corner..

It wasn't inside information. It was a prediction. From my own little fat head.

EDIT: For the record I did ask 2 people associated with the Cowboys and Everson Walls' manager if Shawn would sign here. I got no answers. I posted my prediction anyway. It felt good. I don't apologize. I still want him to come home.

You also predicted that WG and I had no future whatsoever. Now I have hope!

I would rather see Springs at safety than Dawkins plus Springs will be hurt a lot.

Good, let him go to Philthydelphia and play 6-8 games...especially at safety! I never understood the love for him anyway (besides the fact his dad is a beloved Cowboy)! When healthy he's good, but he's NEVER healthy! He's only played a full season what, 3-4 times in his career? Springs = Charmin...soft & weak!!!

Shutting down T.O.? When did he do that? I never seen it. I saw where he had help, as did all the other Corners this past season, except for the 9ers Corner.

There is not a DB in the NFL, that can shut down T.O., man to man.

I just do not know where people got the idea that Shawn Springs was a very good CB. Did he start his pro career at Seattle?
Now he might make a good safety for 1 or 2 yrs, but Maybe and that is a big maybe.

Last year in Dallas. He worked TO like an ugly step child. It became a pattern for every other team we played the rest of the season except the 49ers who for some unknown reason didn't do it.
