 |
|
| Jason Taylor is available. If we could get him for a 3rd rounder or less should we go after him? Even though he is 33 he could still be a great starting end for the next 2-3 years. I still think he can play and would add alot to the team. We could then use our first rounder on a DT. What do you think? |

I wouldn't trade anything for him. He's 34 years old and is nearing the end of his career. I have this recurring nightmare about the Skins trading for and signing big contracts to players close to the end of their careers.
It's rumored that Green Bay might give up a 2nd round pick for him. I say let them have him. I'd rather spend a 2nd round pick on a young DE prospect in the draft. Taylor may have a year or two left in him, but a good DE from the draft will be cheaper and will have many more years to look forward to. If Taylor was released and agreed to come in at a reasonable price, then sure, but otherwise, I'd pass. |

I'd offer a 6th rounder for him, maybe a 5th

That deal was almost completed yesterday but fell apart, they are still talking though. |

| Personally I like the guy but a 2nd rounder is a huge price to pay for the guy. I'm wondering if GB is stocking their team with "right now" talent in hopes of going to the super bowl next year. |

That's exactly who came into my mind. We'd probably get one impact season out of Taylor, before his inexorable slide into mediocrity. That slide would coincide precisely with a ramping up in his basic salary, and we'd be left with a huge waste of salary cap. I'm praying that the way we've started fee agency is the way we'll continue, save for a handful of value for money signings in areas that will really help. |
