It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Cool I wasn't sure why we didn't hear anything more this is whyFree agent Shawn Springs never did make his flight to New England and is expected to visit the Patriots today.
He also has a visit with New Orleans lined up for tonight. The Pats appeal to veterans like Springs and it'd be no surprise if they sign him immediately.
Could be signed by tonight! Not that I'm getting my hopes up
I'm hoping Springs and Bodden are announced at the same press conference... right after Peppers
If that happened i would be so happy, but not likely! I can see Springs and Bodden coming in but i cant see Peppers just because of how much he will want and what Carolina will want for him!!

Why does almost everyone assume that Peppers, who will be a conversion project, would demand that much money? If he truly wants to convert to an OLB, his best bet would be to either sign a bargain 1 year deal, or a contract that is very much incentive based. Until we know more, people really shouldn't just assume that Peppers will require that much $$$ to sign.
Also, Carolina has their hands tied until they get rid of Peppers. The longer it takes, the less compensation they will get for him. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually have to cut him.
how about boldin not bodden now that would
make me smile!!!
I think most assume he wants a lot of money, because he stands to make almost 17 mill this yr under the tag. He is an elite player, much like a Wilfork, Haynesworth, etc--and I have heard reports that he wants at least something in the ballpark of Haynesworth's contract. That said, so now will Vince. You have to look at first 4 yrs of Haynesworth's deal--pays about 12 mill / per. Common sense just says these types of players are going to look for approx. 10 mill / per. Just look at Freeny's contract, which was what, 72 mill or so. And I say this respectfully, not argumentatively. Just don't see a player of his caliber signing a "bargain 1 yr deal," as you put it.
Good point, although who knows? Maybe he feels that the fact that he could be used at both positions if needed, is making him feel that he is even more versatile than most. I want him just as bad as you, my friend. I just have a hard time believing that he would give us a Moss type 1 yr prove it deal, mostly because he hadn't fallen off like Moss had. Wherever he goes he'll be a beast I'm sure

The Eagles announced that they are hosting free agent Shawn Springs Tuesday.
Multiple reports had Springs visiting the Patriots and Saints today, but those meetings may have been pushed back. There are rumors circulating that if Philly adds another cornerback Sheldon Brown will go on the trade block.
