If we could make the deal to just go down a couple of picks and get Jason Taylor you do it. Unlike these other hypothetical trade options who have character issues, Taylor is a model citizen and would be good in the locker room. Not to mention that he is a couple of years removed from being an defensive MVP or in the running. This is the guy you take a chance on...As far as the age and declining numbers...anyone playing on a bad team like last years dolphins would have numbers declining. A change of scenery would do this very good player some good. I use to live in So. Florida and there is not a good atmosphere there for success. The fans stink! Nothing like the Skins! He would be energized and would not be the main focus on the line as he was in Miami!

Now don't get it twisted...!!! Don't sell the farm and give away the draft but try to fit him in...then get a DE late or next year in order for the young player to have a mentor and learn slowly...I hate to say it look at the Giants.

Under those circumstances he could be productive for longer than 3 years by rotating with Young DE.

Just my opinion!
