I know he's old. The Dolphins probably won't resign him, so would you want him back to backup Wilfork?

If we wanted him to back up Wilfork we wouldn't have let him go in the first place.

We have Wright and Smith now.

What is wrong with Mike Wright? Why did the Pats let Traylor go? Why would he be needed?

zippo59

The only reason he was here whne he was is because Wilfork was a rookie learning a new position who couldn't be expected to be the full time NT. Wright is an adequate back up as of now and who knows what could happen with Smith. Plus Traylor is really old.

LeKevin Smith is too small to play nosetackle. He's more of a d-tackle in a 4-3 set

"What is wrong with Mike Wright"; you're joking I assume. This was the guy I saw getting blown off the line of scrimage during the last Dolts drive, or was I seeing things. Traylor is old and fat and done........

No, you weren't seeing things, Mike Wright got manhandled

I thought Traylor was leaning towards retirement.

While depth is always good I'm inclined to have my depth be younger, up and coming players.

BB has usually had those players as backups, using the veterans as stop gaps until the younger players are ready. Maybe Traylor will remain unsigned, or signed for camp and then cut (thus keeping him off another team in camp), effectively serving as a shadow roster player in case of injury during the season - but while I wouldn't close the book on Tractor Traylor, I'd prefer to see a younger FA or draft pick on the roster.

Smith has more of a nose tackle build than Wright does, and in fact Wright seemed to be moving toward DE in training camp. I have no opinion of Smith at this point, but if he's not ready there's a clear roster opening behind Wilfork. If we're looking young, how about Paul Soliai in the middle rounds of the draft?
