With that said I do think he will have a BIG season.

your first and last paragraphs seem contradictory to me. If he's not going to have a BIG season, we should not pay him 8.5M. We didnt bring him here last year because he's JT - we brought him here because Daniels got hurt and we didnt trust our other DEs. If we keep Taylor this year, its probably to play OLB. He wont be a good DE in a 4-3 system unless we had someone like Haynesworth at DT.
