Jason Taylor Released

What gives w/ all these lightweight LBs on the FA market... oh wait these are basically the guys left over. Seriously, do we really want to depend on a 220 lb frame to bring down the likes of Jacobs, Ward (if he stays in NY), or Barber?

Once again you're in over your head Goat. At this point in free agency the pickings have gotten slim and we need somebody if only for depth. Burnett had 2 sacks, a forced fumble and 3 passes defensed in a very limited role. He was a 2nd round pick by the Cowgirls and is a solid player. A lot of LB's are tweeners because they're to small to play DE but they're still productive players. Unless you're AH you're going to have problems bringing down a 260 pound Jacobs unless you hit him low (ask Landry). Unless we bring MW back we need to do something, and this is a young player who can obviously blitz the QB and cover pretty well.
