Jason Taylor to the pack???

I agree. With Favre retiring (still time to change your mind!?) I don't see any tangible aged vet being brought in, and why would they want to come now. Not that the team is going to be bad, but they may want a more sure thing, and along with how TT works in FA, I don't think he goes for it with a big signing until he knows (really knows) what he has in Rodgers.

Then TT will NEVER go for it...because you aren't going to get any better QB under center than Brett Favre.

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, citing multiple unnamed sources, reports that Miami Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor has told the team that he would like to be traded.

The request has been made, as Cole characterizes it, “politely” — without any threats or demands. And Cole believes that, if the Dolphins don’t trade Taylor, Taylor might indeed retire.

The rumor mill has linked Taylor to the Jaguars. Cole throws out possibilities like the Browns, Packers, Eagles, Patriots, Cowboys, and Steelers. (The Vikings are another team with an obvious need, if they can’t get Jared Allen from the Chiefs.)

We also think that Taylor will prefer to play for a team located in a big market (like the Giants, Jets, or Redskins) or that carries a high national profile (like the Patriots or Cowboys).

The Dolphins denied comment for Cole’s story. Previously, the team refuted a report from Cole that a trade would occur, with V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells calling the item “journalistic irresponsibility.”

But we’re siding with Cole on this report, and his prior one. We’ve heard some of the same rumblings, and believe that Taylor is committed to trying to get to a new team without being viewed as a villain in Miami.

After all, if/when he becomes a movie star, he’ll want Dolphins fans to buy tickets. That’s far more likely to happen if the perception is that he didn’t try to abandon the team when it arguably needed his skills the most.

Even if, you know, he is.

He is not worth a first day pick. If you can get him for a fourth or something, maybe.

Well if we would give up a third, for a 26 year old CB Lito Sheppard? Would we trade a pick higher than a third for a 36 year old with his eyes in the limelight?

I vote 'no'.

Yes. The move fron Miami to Green Bay may be a wee bit of a shock for Jason Taylor.

Is he (Jason Taylor) still a player? Oh yes. I'd rather see, if TT will even go there. A trade of that third for a positional player we all know we need. A CB. Lito Sheppard.

That move also gives TT more flexibility next Saturday. Why does this stuff seem so easy to see from my seat? What am I missing? Is it the political factor?

ie Our relationship with the Eagles. Philly has always dealt with the Packers in the recent past. I still hope TT is talking to the Eagles Re: an acquisition of CB Lito Sheppard from Philadelphia.

That's our TOP FA not Jason Taylor.

Packers Forever!

Lito Sheppard? The guy has injury written all over him. He's played in 14 games in the last 3 years. Plus, the Eagles have already said they won't accept anything under a 1st round pick, so what makes you think the Eagles would take a 3rd? I think a 2nd is more realistic, but they can keep Sheppard.
