[quote=GTripp0012;532924]Right, that's exactly what I'm thinking.[/quote]

Smootsmack mentioned something about Orlando Pace. I hope he's not coming here. We with out a doubt we have other needs on are team then a 35 year old lineman with a history of injuries.

I'm going to start lobbying for this guy if we sign a RT and trade down.

Michael Johnson - 6'6 - 266 lbs - DE - Georgia Tech - 9.0 Sacks in 2008
Plus he's already up to speed on our lines 'technique'. I think the best way to describe him is a poor man Julius Peppers.

Is Khalif Barnes off the market. I dont remember him getting signed anywhere. I think he would be an upgrade at RT and definitely has the upside to be worth a dockery type deal.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I bet they go after Willis being that he's a Seahawk.

Definately worth less then Dockery. Willis on the other hand just makes sense to come here. I mean he knows the system, has the size Bugel likes, can clear running lanes, cost effective.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

It's important to remember that Jansen wasn't THE problem last year, but merely one of the many issues. He'd still be a minor liability next year, but the alternative right now is that we are talking about starting a rookie there, and it's hard to imagine that being a fantastic situation for us.

D Evans plane was canceled today, to leave for SanFran, this could be a blessing in disquise...(he needs to stay)

He wasn't THE problem but he definitely sucked balls.

Does anyone else feel cheated by how this went down? After they signed Hall and Phat Albert I had visions of 55 lining up all over the place and crushing QBs.

I would have felt better if they released him before signing the other guys. I would put the J Taylor aquisition on the Mount Rushmore of stupid moves by the FO. Somewhere near Arc de Suck, Brandon Lloyd (picks and a new contract), TJ Duckett, Portis (2nd rounder and Champ) and Brunell (Picks and huge deal for a player getting cut).

They better sign Crowell, an O-lineman, a punter, Campbell, Evans and or Daniels. We also need Monty and Golston back too.

yeah im kind of excited..... i know we have something planned we aren't going to just wait until the draft considering all of our needs. Its only a matter of time until something goes down

Great choice my friend, If we trade down in the 20's this guy is a great value ..... Pick up a RT in FA.....-Add 2nd round OT Jamon Meredith for the future.....

Maybe it meant to read March 2....and he is soon to be a Steeler...?

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

sign Hunter Smith, Punter Indy.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

[quote=mmil12;532797]As unproductive as he was for us, I don't think this is a good move. Jason Taylor was hurt all year and playing on the wrong side of the line. I think if we gave him another shot and put him on the proper side we would have seen more production. I understand that 8.5 million is a lot to pay a guy who only had 3.5 sacks. However, we are now SUPER thin at DE. Do we sign someone, resign Taylor at a lower price, or draft a new DE?[/quote]

amen! i was expecting taylor to have a big year this year! it would be his 2nd year in the defense and last years injury was a freak one that most likely wouldnt happen again.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

[quote=Dirtbag359;532909]Sign Ray Willis, Demetric Evans, then draft Rey Maualuga. After that get a third round Center or Guard.[/quote]

Now That Idea is MONEY!!!!!!!!

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I'll be honest as soon as I heard we cut Taylor I thought big signing is coming. I'll bet they try for Housh only cause that would give us a #1 WR to compliment our #2 Moss and #3 Randel El. That would allow Kelly and Thomas to learn from one of the best and fill in, in the rotation. I wouldn't mind Bolden but He's not a UFA. Which means we would probably have to give up a lot to get him.

I know, I know I'll get blasted for my thoughts but I came to my senses and thought like most of you....either go after a big Center or RT, DE, and LB. I forgot about a punter though.

With 12.5mill I could see them trying to see about a push for Housh, and go after either a Center or RT. Then pick up the other in the draft and a DE, LB. I mean with Springs 6 mill we saved plus the 1 or 3 mill we had under the CAP we went after AH, Hall, and Dock. 12.5mill could truly land us possibly Housh, a big named RT and a half decent Center or DE (perhaps Evans, just offer 1 more mill to the plate.).

I know I'll get blasted cause everyone wants OL, DL, and LB. but I could see Snyder and Cerratto calling Housh's agent to see what the numbers are, bring him in just to piss off Philli, and allow him to tear Philli apart during the games cause they snubbed him after he even showed interest in them. LOL.

[B]Edited....found out Housh is a Seahawk. He should have held out one more day. lol.[/B]

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

Housh signed with Seattle.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I don't know why everyone is talking about going after Housh (who is no longer available) and Boldin. What the hell did we draft Thomas and Kelly for?

But I think with $12.5 million in cap room, we should go after Willis, Evans, and draft a decent LB in the draft at 13 and somemore linemen (preferably OL) with our other picks just like everyone else has been saying. But knowing Vinny and Danny, they can find a way to mess something up.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

Oh yeah, and get a Punter and Kicker. Is Mike Nugent available?

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I would love it if we resigned Springs and Taylor late to the same cap value we just cleared by cutting Taylor...and if I'm really greedy...OT and LB depth and a punter thrown in just for fun.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

Regarding the idea of re-signing Taylor later for less...
What do you guys think he's worth on the open market?....4 mil/yr?

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I hope this isn't redundant but Comcast reported that it didn't have to do w/ his salary. The FO wanted him to sign an addendum about offseason workouts w/ the team...being in DC 75 percent of the time. He refused to sign it so he was cut. Very odd.

Why didn't this come out last year? Why didn't they bring it up then?

We sent a 2nd round pick for a 1 year rental. Very nice move VC. He's really turned over a new leaf by building thru the draft for one year.

I was for the trade btw...only if JT played a full two years. He was going to be healthy again and he's a HOF player w/ immense talent. He had some major injuries to deal w/ last year and still sucked it up. Nice one Vinny. Way to waste another high round draft pick.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

The only question I would have about Maualuga is, are we sure he can play outside? Chicago put Urlacher on the outside when they drafted him and he sucked at that position. He didn't come into his own until he was put in the middle. I think Rey is a hell of a linebacker, I'm just not sure about putting him out of position, and if he can't play outside, how long before he replaces Fletch? Maybe someone knows more about this?

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;532875]I wish they would have done this before the Giant signed Canty.[/quote]


I was just thinking the same thing!!!1:doh:

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

I think we need to adddress the linebacker situation. I can't see H.B Blades holding that starting position down. Maybe we should take a look at Cato June and try to sign him to a reasonable contract.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

can we now sign an outside linebacker in free agency and draft a DE

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

Rey will be our pick. I'm banking on it. We will sign someone through FA to address the oline and my dreams will be answered. REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA REY MAUALUGA...Sorry, i'm just excited!

I was for the trade and I was looking forward to having JT one more year healthy. Like the Haynesworth trade, it bugged me that he was taking 8.5 mil of cap space with so many other needs. Bottom line, the Redskins are getting rid of old players and getting younger players. Granted they are expensive, but they are young. Baby step people, baby steps.

Don't go holding your breath now.....:yeahright

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

thank god for this, now we can pick up another OL in FA, and we can draft a LB in the draft. win win, he was a prima donna anyways, and we are better off.

Did anyone see the cooley interview? he basically said I don't like it here.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

By the way, the Sports Reporters are turning into the radio version of JLC. All they could do when the news of JT's release came about was to remind everyone repeatedly how stupid the team was for getting him in the first place. Granted, the team now looks stupid for having traded for JT, but they failed to mention how the team has the cap room to plug some holes (something that they were screaming about when AH was signed). Not to mention how they proceeded to talk about the pathetic Nats. Once again, I miss Riggo and his crew, they would've slammed the team (well at least Sheehan) but also would've talk about who the team can go after or how this changes the team's offseason plans.

Great. The day is getting better and better. Cooley is probably pissed because the lazy rookie (now second year player) has more talent than him.

Re: Jason Taylor Released
 

Sucks because I really think he could have tore it up with AH in the lineup but we really needed the cap room to plug a few more holes.

Yeah, he actually came off as somewhat of a jerk in that interview. And he said that he didn't "fit in at all" in Washington. With an attitude like that, perhaps we are not missing much having him gone. Except for missing 2 draft picks, that is.
