Is paying Jason Taylor $8.5M the best use of salary cap dollars?

If we can afford it, why not? It's only one year, and the one reason that sticks out to me that makes it more OK (cause I am not 100% onboard with it) is that he already knows the system, and he performed a lot better in the latter part of the season. Of course injuries took their toll on him, and now that he's a year older, that is a serious risk, but he does have a great work ethic. So, again, as long as we can afford it, sure.
