Dallas Cowboys take care of each other....even if it means a kidney

[Drbio]

Former NFL cornerback Everson Walls is giving an old friend and teammate a gift for life.
The Washington Post reported that Walls has agreed to donate a kidney to former Dallas Cowboys teammate Ron Springs and that surgery is imminent.
Springs' son Shawn Springs, a cornerback with the Washington Redskins, told the newspaper that surgery could take place "any day now."


According to the newspaper, Ron Springs, 50, has diabetes and has been undergoing dialysis to get ready for surgery. Shawn Springs offered to end his career and donate a kidney, but his father would not allow any of his children to be tested, the newspaper reported.



"Everson Walls is my dad's best friend and somebody who taught me a lot about being a cornerback in the NFL," the younger Springs told the Post. Walls and Springs were Cowboys teammates between 1981 and 1984.
