well he does for sure , no doubt. but it reallyisnt officially announced or agreed upon through the paperwork or the media, the kind which brett favre did. BB lets brady skip the workouts and other players too who have proven their value to the team.
iam not saying its a huge issue but something that can be sorted out.

I think so. I can't vouch for his play last season, but as of two seasons ago, we now he has the athleticism for it.

I think we'd HAVE to. Isn't he too small to be a 3-4 DE?

money is a factor also. we cut vrabel who is going to be 34 for money maybe and bring in taylor who is the same age and maybe spend more money and who needs to learn the system somewhat again.

Hopefully the "come here for less, even for one year, and be an invaluable contributor to what could be one of the best teams in history" pitch resonates with him. Instant upgrade over Vrabel, and gives us more time to groom Crable.

exactly how much money do any of you think Taylor will command after being dropped by the Skins?...more than 2 mil a season? 3 mil?...low base with incentives NOT a possibility?

How much less than 8.5 million dollars is he willing to accept?

Yeah, this is a bit weird, that way. Is Taylor, at this point, better than Vrabes for the same money?

Hm. I still think we need to find a younger guy, even if Taylor came as a pass rusher. And in that case, Peppers would be a no go, cuz it's hard to picture him in space (based on limited game tape I've seen).

My $ says Parcells will bring him back.

He was out most of last season with an injury!!I rather grab Peppers who is younger!!
