Jason Taylor Released

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Cooley is a tradeable commodity at this time next year. He's absolutely going to be here in 2009 though, that's not up for debate.

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.

I will admit I didn't think they would do this.

He was talking about JT not liking it here. Not Cooley.

I like Boss but I would take Cooley in a NY min!

You're talking about JT saying he did'nt like it here, not Cooley, right?

i agree, there are so many haters out there. i cant take it sometimes, I cant imagine how the players and the FO do it.
