We've done enough of spreading out contracts of older players with our "restructuring."

I say we experiment with Andre Carter at full time LDE, and put Taylor where he has excelled in the past - RDE. It's not like Carter dominated from the right side last year. Of course if that happens, we'll need a damn good Will LB to play behind Taylor for run support.

In light of this decision by Vinny and the gang, I expect Shawn Springs to be gone, especially since we're in full-on negotiations with D.Hall. I also think IF Phillip Daniels is still in the teams plans even after he hits the FA market, he'll be playing for the vet minimum.

Good points GMScud, I don't like this decision at all, but it is the lesser of two evils. Let's hope Taylor sees this as an incentive to play well next season, and I just don't believe he would mail it as some people have suggested.

Has anyone seen this story anywhere but in Yahoo? Not that I don't trust them, but I just checked PFT, Redskins Insider, Adam Schefter's blog and ESPN rumors and none of them had a story about this.
