The Eagles next free agency move could be signing veteran CB Shawn Springs.  Springs was just released by the Redskins. 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) 33-year-old CB for a low-to-moderate price.  Presumably, Springs would be the 4th corner on the depth chart.

The move could also help 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.  Another option would be keeping Sheldon Brown at corner instead of moving him to safety and have Shawn Springs at the FS spot if Quintin Demps isn’t ready for the starting role.

Instead of signing Springs, the ideal move would be to go for the youngster with a lot of upside, Jabari Greer.  However, Greer is drawing a lot of interest from the Bucs and Ravens.  With Joselio Hanson getting a big 5-year, $21 contract, Greer should be getting something in that ball park.  If the Eagles do end up with Springs, instead of shelling out more money for Greer, it may make more sense.

Also keep in mind, the dime corner would be filled with rookie/thug Jack Ikeqwuonu, who the Eagles draft/stole in the 4th round in last year’s draft, although he was considered first-round talent.
