Taylor really wants to be an actor, and certainly the discussion between the two teams is probably circling around the assumption that Taylor is done after 2008. In that case, we're going to come out of this ahead: the Dolphins have no need for Taylor in a rebuilding year, and we won't have a need for an elderly Taylor in a year or two when we address it in the draft.

With Buzbee and Daniels BOTH down, we have to go get someone. Right now, we have Evans, Carter, Wilson, and Erasmus James, but with Wilson's limitations and James' health, another veteran body is a must.

Still, as long as we don't negotiate as if Jason Taylor is already a Redskin (meaning we give up a top three pick), we should come out on top.

I'm okay with throwing in a clause that allows a 4th round pick to become a 3rd rounder if Taylor plays in 16 games for us, but I'm also okay if this doesn't get done at all.
