I've heard this from a few places. Anyone have anything official? Or semi official?

Is this a late April Fools Joke ?

He'd be a nice addition

[sheepshead]

Not from me this time. Just saw this on a blog, cant find any news though

I'd love to add Taylor - at a reasonable price - to the mix.

I agree..I think it would be a nice, low risk signing..The kind that Ted likes..

[rbaloha1]

Nice addition. If true what does this say about the current potential des?

Keep meaning to start a thread on Taylor. Thanks Sheepshead for getting the ball rolling.

I've been wondering when/if the Pack would show interest in signing Taylor since he's departure from the Redskins. I mean, they evidently were interested enough last year to possibly trade a draft choice for Taylor (given I'm not privy to inside information I'm going on rumor but maybe they were never interested and thus it makes sense of the stance again this year) why wouldn't they go for him for free this year?

He has a history ('06 and '07) with Capers and has extensive knowledge in the 3-4 scheme and is a solid locker room guy and a leader. What's not to like given we have the cap space to make it happen.

Barring Taylor flat out not being interested in the Packers due to distance from family, receiving a decent offer from the Pats where he has a better chance for a ring, etc. I would think this a no-brainer.

Thompson has been bashed (some fair, some not fair) for not taking more action to improve this team outside the draft and I'd hope that he makes a valid play for Taylor. After all he's just three years removed from defensive player of the year award and unless his injury recovery is slow moving or he's definitely lost a step like KGB, he should be strongly pursued.

Bedard writes that he sees little chance of Taylor even wanting to go to Green Bay. I think he's doing this to drive up offers that other teams are making.

Maybe, but nobody seems to be clamoring to sign him. Reminds me a lot of the Charles Woodson scenario.

Bedard knows as much as I do, and that isnt much. He's sitting in Milwaukee on a lap top. Big deal. He gives all the usual reasons, weather, hollywood etc etc.

He doesnt site a source or a conversation with anyone. I'm not saying Taylors even coming to Green Bay unless his next team is on the schedule. Guys like Bedard are just as bad as guys on here pulling you-know-what out of their you-know-what.

Bedard covered Taylor while both were in Miami. I think he might have an edge on you.

I agree, non-starter of an issue... unless Taylor said he'd play for the minimum. Maybe TT will try to sell him on GB's nightlife and weather - Miami can't compete with that

Ah, but Bedard, who I really like as I read all of his stuff, has admittedly not been on speaking terms with Jason Taylor since he left Miami. I don't recall why, but he p@ssed Taylor off.

So if Bedard has some inside information right now, it's from the Packers and their interest, or lack of it, in Jason Taylor.

[Lurker64]

Does Taylor have much left in the tank?
