If Taylor ask to be traded to a contender they'd ship him out to a contending team in the AFC long before they'd send him to NE.
I was hoping Taylor would end up playing rush OLB for NE in 2008, but I don't see it happening now.
Why would anyone in their right mind think that there was, or is, ANY chance the dolphins would trade Jason Taylor to the Patriots? They got F'd on the Welker thing, and this would be even worse. There has NEVER been a chance that this fantasy would come true, no matter how many of us would love it to.
does anyone who knows about this crap care to chine in on this subject?
Obviously the notion that teams will not trade within the same division is a myth first of all. Beyond that I'm not sure how many Dolphins fans you'd find who would suggest that Welker would have made a big difference to that team this year. Doesn't that make them better off taking a young 2nd round draft pick (and didn't they get their punter with our 7th too?)
Beyond that Parcells didn't make that trade so no one's going to blame him for Welker.
And as I pointed out before, Taylor DOES hold some cards here.
Let's say Taylor decides that the one and only team he wants to play for is the New England Patriots (which is not such a stretch of the imagination as he and Brady are very good friends, and Taylor wants a Ring very badly).
Taylor can present Parcells with 2 options. 1.) Trade me for fair market value to the Patriots (assuming they were willing) and get some draft picks for me or 2.) I'm going to retire and you're going to get nothing for me.
Since Parcells knows he has a big rebuilding project ahead of him, and likely won't dethrone the Patriots in the 2 years or so that Taylor has left, with or without Taylor on the Patriots what decision do you think he'd make?
Do you think he would prefer to get some draft picks for Taylor - or nothing for Taylor?
