Jason Taylor Released

I think a lot of you are taking London Fletcher for granted. Guys gonna be 34 this season and obviously he isn't getting younger. If Willis really is a legit starting RT (and ironically in seeing the Seahawks/Cowboys game he seemed to be one of two guys that wasn't getting his ass handed to him) then that will free us up to draft Maualgua use him as an OLB and groom him for the MLB spot. I think right now the best COA (course of action) is as follows:

- Call Evans right now and work out a contract
- Sign Willis to about 3 million per year, backloaded contract of course
- Draft Maualuga
- Draft a C/G Prospect in the third round

Me likey... although I won't complain if we grab Oher/Smith w/ the 13th pick but I think it leaves us a little unsettled at LB even if we do bring in Crowell

... btw I rewatched video of Rey last night... holy shit man, that's all i can say, holy shit.

I have been under the impression that HB Blades is going to replace Fletcher at MLB when the time comes. I believe the reason that they have had him playing outside is because he is better than the rest of the options.

agreed. Blades was horrible at OLB last year. Hes far too small to be our starting OLB, especially with another small guy in the middle. Blades may or may not end up being Fletcher 2.0, but one things for sure - we need one starting OLB and probably two new backup LBs or we're going to be in trouble.

Well as of this minute, Blades is a projected starter (along with Chris Wilson). We need to make a move to fix those holes sooner rather than later.

I agree. I'd love to get one or two of these guys:

Angelo Crowell, Bills
Derrick Brooks, Bucs
Cato June, Bucs
Kevin Burnett, Cowboys

From what I recall, Blache actually likes Matt Sinclair a lot as a backup MLB. He got hurt last summer so they had to cut him and I think he's an UFA now. But I'm guessing he joins us for training camp and maybe works his way onto the roster as Fletch's backup.
