Taylor is going to have to rework his contract regardless of what team he will be playing for next year. I do see him in a Pats uniform next year as the "elephant" on the defense... a more truer replacement for Willie McGinest.

I would say that if Taylor ends up in NE first, then I would expect his brother-in-law to actually tag along... concussions or not, there's nothing to lose with getting Thomas too.

Do you think the Fins will actually trade Taylor to us? I sure don't...

I agree. There is no way they trade him to the Pats and make the Pats stronger

Wayne's words may be getting misconstrued. If they ask out he may release them in a salary cutting move that is typical of total rebuilds. In a trade scenario they can pretty much control the situation, and no matter how much they may want out neither is going to accept a trade to another team unless it presents an opportunity to seriously contend for the playoffs if not a SB. And I doubt Wayne, who is now hyper sensitive to the fan base and media, would want to get into a protracted and potentially acrimonious departure situation with these two any more than they would want to. But he's opened the door publicly now which would pretty much insulate them were they to simple ask for their release.

I don't think this will happen, but I don't agree that they wouldn't trade them to us. I hate to sound arrogant, but it's just the truth: they're so far behind us that by the time they're competing with us Taylor will have been retired for a few seasons.

The coach of the NY Rats is probably buring up his cell phone battery.

Just for point of reference, I know that. I didn't mean NOW (unless they get released.)
