Prisco's notes:

There are several key cornerbacks who could be unrestricted free agents next spring, depending on whether their teams place tags on them. Among them are
Washington's Champ Bailey,
Oakland's Charles Woodson,
Seattle's Shawn Springs
and Antoine Winfield of the Bills.
Other potential free-agent corners are
Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor of the Eagles,
Ahmed Plummer of the 49ers and
Jacksonville's Fernando Bryant.
Bailey is a lock to be tagged if he doesn't have a new deal, but it's not a certainty for the others. The interesting player on that list is Springs. He has outstanding ability but has battled a slew of injuries. He was bad last week against the Bears in his first game of the season, which made some speculate whether Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren would send him to the bench. It won't happen now, but rookie Marcus Trufant played well in his place to open the season, and if Springs can't turn it around, don't be shocked to see him sit down. If it happens, it could cost him a lot of money

Now, do any of you feel any better about not drafting a corner last year?
I think the Saints thought that they could get by for a year with the aging corners they have and address it next year when the market is loaded. And from what I've read there are several stud CB's coming out of college next year also.

I also noticed there are about a zillion quality LB's (both OLB and MLB) also available in next years draft.

The futures so bright, I gotta wear shades!

We'll probably just take another OL from Georgia! ;)
