Jason Taylor to re-sign with the Dolphins

[GTripp0012]

The truth is, nearly the whole bill for JT has been payed already. There's the 6th next year still outstanding, but the 2nd, the opportunity cost of giving him a roster spot, and the salary (zero dead cap) is off the books entirely. So now that the draft is over, we can forget that this ever happened.

It was the kind of result that I saw coming a mile away when we threw picks at a problem out of desperation, and I thought it was a really obvious gaffe. Sure, in hindsight, it's obvious we got our pants dropped on this one, but a lot of us thought at the time it was a great move, and that surprised me.

Or look at Brett Favre, He signed a contract with NYJ, and now he's retiring as a ... oh wait, never mind!

Oh Jason Taylor resigned with Miami ? Should we be upset ? F him. He's gone and now he's not a Redskin anymore. That's all I need to know. A "mistake" was removed and we should be thankful. It was a 2 draft pick mistake, but so what. It happens, teams mess up and we as fans stick by them if we choose to. I had high hopes when he got here but since he has moved on, I wish him well in his future endeavors.

Horrible move by the FO but what's done is done. Next.

A couple of people weren't crazy about it. But the majority loved the move. Plus some that didn't like it felt that way because they thought Taylor was too old to have any true impact anymore and that he was due for a drop in production (which happened of course), so I guess they think he'll flop in Miami too right?

I don't know if flop is the right word. I think he'll match his sack total from last year. Which at the cost they are paying for him, is pretty good.

But yeah, his days as a top player are over, it looks like.

The Titans traded us Albert Haynesworth for a third round pick from the league.

Now that is a crazy trade!

[skinsfan69]

Well the main reason I wasn't for this trade was JT was not training during the off season, the price was too steep and we had a quality starter that could fill in for Daniels. I just wish the FO would have confidence in the players we have here instead of ALWAYS chasing other teams players.

Losers.

I didn't like the trade from the beginning. I would've rather that Evans and Wilson been given a chance and we keep our second round pick. Especially the way Wilson came on at the end the year before. I also didn't like the idea of MW being let go and the thinking that JT could take his spot. That kind of thinking was BS from the get-go. I realize MW wasn't let go because of JT, but thinking he could step in and play his spot was ridiculous IMO. But as misguided as it sometimes is, I still think the FO does what it thinks is best for the team. Unfortunately they thought JT would come in and get 10 sacks and Carter would possibly do the same and it didn't turn out that way. Time to move on. Rock and roll Orakpo! As far as JT goes, I wasn't that much of a fan before he signed with us, even less so now. I don't really care what he does.

JT is an idiot, he could have made 9 million here instead he is making 1.1 with the dolphins.

Well one good thing came out of the trade. When we traded for Jason Taylor we lost 2nd (2009) and 6th round (2010) picks. The biggest reason we couldnt trade up and get Mark Sanchez was because the Redskins had no 2nd round pick. The Redskins not being able to move up and get Sanchez lucked out and were able to draft Brian Orakpo with the 13th overall pick.

We did lose the 2nd round pick but it comes down to one thing. Would you rather have Mark Sanchez or Brian Orakpo? Id rather have Orakpo hands down.

I actually think in a weird kinda way Parcells saved us.

Yeah weird how it worked out. Could be for the best in the long run. If that ends up being the case giving up that 2nd rounder could be a great move.

Sure, it could be great because a positive result has a chance of falling in our lap, not because it was part of any sort of plan.

I'd love for us to look smart on purpose for a change.

(Please no one ring off a list of draft picks for me. I know. I'm talking about FA).

So none of our FA's have been smart moves?

How about Fletcher for starters?
