The Redskins were trying to trade cornerback Shawn Springs but in the end they had to release him before free agency started.  The 33-year old Springs played in 9 games for the Redskins last season and he made 36 tackles, defensed 7 passes, had 1 sack and 1 interception.  Springs played 5 seasons with the Redskins covering 64 games in which he made 250 tackles, defensed 51 passes, had 7 sacks, intercepted 12 passes and he forced 2 fumbles.  The Redskins might miss Springs as he still has something left in the tank.
