Do you think Jason Taylor is a possibility?

[Tony Oday]

I mean we have the young guys on the team and we could get him for a draft pick and then have Kamp and Taylor chasing down QBs

Too old to be a TT move.

I dont know I mean he has stockpiled the team with young talent dont you think its time for the next phase you know some skilled vets.

No. My guess is he takes another 10 draft picks or so and keeps the best 53 guys. Seems to me that he always wants solid depth by having lots and lots of yougens.

I would not argue with that next phase theory Tony; I just don't think TT will go for it.

I see no reason to because in a year or two 75% of the team will have played in the league for a few years. I'm alright with that.

parcells won't let him get away!!!

...like Woodson? Taylor is HOF caliber player and could transcend age more than others. A big 2 year contract? Not a biggie if TT does not go after Taylor though.

[Deputy Nutz]

What is Taylor's contract situation? Is he a free agent? If not, then I don't for see a comparison to Charles Woodson. Then, I don't expect Thompson to trade a pick for him even though he knows the system and scheme on defense.

If he is a free agent Taylor will still comand a serious double digit signing bonus, I am thinking 4 years totally 40 million or so. Considering we still pay a large salary to KGB and Jenkins is also signed to a multi year deal, I don't see Thompson opening up the pocket book for Taylor.

I assume Taylor will want to stay in a warmer climate since he has played his whole career in Miami. Maybe he comes to Green Bay ala Reggie White to win a Championship.

[Tony Oday]

Good lord we have the cap room so thats not a big deal.

I like Jason Taylor and I would love signing him, but with the combination of Jenkins and KGB for the same price, what does the addition of Taylor really bring to this team? KGB gets just as many sacks and Jenkins is really good against the run.

I just don't see it as a pressing need, even though adding a player like Taylor is always a positive.

Of course it is a big deal. Money is Money. There is only so much to spend. Spending it for the sake of spending it does not improve your team. Using the money to extend are young core of important players is a far better use of our salary cap.


Taylor's best days are behind him. Not sure what we could expect from him next year.

[The Shadow]

I don't think you obtain a player for big bucks with his best years behind him.
The tricjk is to identify the guy on the way up, and snag him for your price.
