Jason Taylor Released

Skinny Tee · 03-02-2009, 04:28 PM

I like this move provided we GUN HARD for the top OL free agents available.

Jason Brown has already signed so we need to scoop up the residual OL talent available. We also need two DE's now that Taylor is gone. I would have said one if we didn't get rid of him.

Julius Peppers anyone?? Just kidding but I think signing Daniels to a 2 year minimum and drafting Orakpo (if available) would be great. Ray Willis is still available and I think Angelo Crowell is out there too. Then we use the third on a LB and the rest on depth(BPA).

Taylor declined, leading to his release.

Hopefully this does not come back to bite the Skins in the arse, but if it clears room for our needs, then so be it. It would have been nice to see the Jason Taylor of old come forth in '09...but it looks like it wasn't meant to be.

Hmm, now it gets a little interesting. I don't think they had to do this to shed salary cap for their existing signings, I wonder if this is a precursor to a trade or another signing (perhaps a new RT or OLB)?

I'd love to see Peppers here with a trade and a long term contract. That boy is a stud. However, I don't think he is fit for a team that would put him in the spotlight. He is perfect for a small market team.

I see JLC is up to his usual self, not one word of the Taylor release as of yet.

SFREDSKIN · 03-02-2009, 04:41 PM

I bet the Cowboys go after him to replace Canty.

I think he's on vacation...but Jason Reid should be all over this

It's hard to trade a 30+ DE who is on the downside of his career and scheduled to earn 8.5

We walked in to that one big time. I have to tell you a guy that will not work out with the team aka Springs and Taylor at thier age I say bye bye! Yes we have three big holes now and I hoped Taylor was going to work out but that is goen. So now we will see if Vinny and Danny can make it work. This is bigger then the three we picked up last week by far. You have three holes in your team at DE,T and LB with 4 picks in aprils draft and no 2nd rounder. This is where we will see if Vinny and Dan make this off season really great or just another wast of money and another year of 8-8 season with no play-offs!

The league wouldn't let the Skins trade with themselves.
