GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
According to a report in The Providence Journal, the New England Patriots are going to sign former Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs sometime this week. The Redskins decided to re-up with DeAngelo Hall to go opposite Carlos Rogers on the outside, so the aging and injury-prone Springs was deemed expendable and released.This could end up being a very nice signing for the Patriots. No terms of the deal have been reported yet, so we don't know if they overpaid. Assuming they didn't, though, the Pats have acquired a solid corner who still has a few years left.

The downsides to Springs all revolve around the fact that he's been chronically injured for the past eight seasons. When he plays, and is fully healthy, he plays well. At 33, he's not too old to get that back, but you worry he's not going to be able to stay on the field for the entire season.
Regardless, it's worth a low-risk contract to find out when it comes to a corner the caliber of Springs.
