Miami Herald: Trade Taylor Now

The Dolphins, barring an unexpected rebound, are several years and multiple solid drafts away from being a contending team. The first two games this season have proven Miami cannot run the ball and cannot stop the run, which in football parlance means the Dolphins have zero chance to win many games.

So it simply makes sense for this team to dangle Taylor between now and Oct. 16, or, failing that, try to trade the face of their defense after this season. It is not only the smart thing, but also the right thing to do.

It is the smart thing because somewhere out there, among the list of teams that count themselves one star pass-rusher from Super Bowl contention, Taylor's value is likely high enough to make a trade not only intriguing, but inviting.

The Pats don't need him, I would hate to see him with the Colts. But I think that the premise is sound, hopefully they trade him before the Pats have to play them.

Jason Taylor could easily play OLB with Rosey Colvin and Mike Vrabel.

Could he play LB?

I wonder what they expect to get in return. The guy is 34 years old, I highly doubt he would bring anything better then a late first day pick, and the 'fins need more then that. Of course, maybe the Pats pick him up to keep him away from from the Colts, ala Sox getting Gagne?

I don't think he'd ever come to the Pats, he'd miss playing with his brother in law too much.

He has played LB/De the last 2 years and won DPOY while doing it...sounds like he can play...

I thought he divorced Zach's sister.

They got divorced.

I don't think that the Pats would send them the amount of picks that they want for Taylor, he is signed through 2009. My guess would be a NFC team would do it. Here's an interesting thought, Greg Ellis is gone for the season, and Dallas already has Cleveland's 1st round pick next year, so if I'm Miami, I'd take Dallas' 1st rd pick next year for Taylor. It is also not a bad deal for Dallas.

He's 33, but I think he could still fetch a 1st or 2nd rounder. He's one of the best defensive players in the game today, and still has a few good years left in him. I just hope the Colts don't get him.

There was a story in SI that they got back together. The story was in just this year, I think in the NFL preview issue.
