Dolphins, Jason Taylor to part ways

Featured Replies

Bill Parcells: Jason, you can shop yourself anywhere-any 30 NFL Teams.

JasoN Taylor: Don't you mean 31 NFL teams?

Bill: No, 30- The Patriots are in a league of their own, and you can't go there.

Jason Taylor: Does this mean I am going to Dallas?

Bill: Yep.

Wasn't it reported the other day that he WOULDN'T be moved? What the hell's going on.

Keeping JT does nothing for the future of that franchise. If it's an amicable breakup, then it's perfect, however, it'd be best for the Dolphins if JT were traded for a couple of picks or something, he could even wind up being released. Why keep Taylor in limbo in Miami, with no shot to win a title for AT LEAST 2 years when you can get something for him to accelerate that process allowing the 'Phins to get better.

 

As for whether or not it's reported that he'll stay or go, I'd just assume he's gone until the first game he suits up.

Dolphins executive vice president of football operations Bill Parcells told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that defensive end Jason Taylor will be playing for Miami in 2008 unless he chooses to retire, contrary to a published report.

 

Yahoo Sports reported Saturday night that Taylor, an 11-year veteran who has played all of his 172 career games for the Dolphins, would be parting ways with Miami this offseason before the NFL draft this April.

 

"This latest report is just another example of journalistic irresponsibility," Parcells told Mortensen.

This is the only chance they have to trade him. In reality, the dolphins are not going to contend next year. Next offseason Jason Taylor has little to no value because he will turn 35 before the season starts. If he were traded this year he would bring the dolphins something that will help them out in the future. It also lets him have a chance at a championship.

then we dont trade him...he still has value to us...and judging by our new front 7, getting pressure on the Qb, should be a piece of cake this next year...which will help out a young secondary that is built through the draft and help our offense that will probably struggle a big to put up points

Do you mean Jason Ferguson, Reggie Torbor, Charlie Anderson and Randy Starks?

Those were nice addtions for depth, but none of them are stars by any means. Zach Thomas had more tackles in 5 games than Anderson, Ferguson and Starks had combined.

 

I guess it all really depends on what they could get for Jason Taylor. Three DT just got traded for 3rd and 5th rounders, but they were all under 30. I am not sure what Taylor could get at age 34. If they can get a 3rd rounder for him, they would be foolish to not pull the trigger.

they dont have to be stars...they just have to fit the system...and a bill parcells lead team is one that gets consistent pressure on the QB...and if we keep JT, add chris long in the draft, plus quentin moses who parcells said he was in love with...we have gotten younger and faster on the defense...and i think we would be all the better in letting joey porter going if it doesnt cause a huge cap issue...most rome wasnt built in a day...but these signings address an aging defense and give us nice special teams depth...

 

and with the draft and roster cuts and etc. you know parcells is gonna not only reshape the team in his image...but with a little luck and progression of some of the youngsters on offense...we could be a 2nd place team in the division

Looking at our group of QBs, Id say theres no chance of that happening. JT should probably get traded now. We arent going to contend for at least another 2 seasons, at which point he'll be 37. Why hold on to him on an awful team for 2 more years when you could get some young players who can actually help us down the road?

Well, I doubt Parcells lets Taylor go. He's the only thing people come to the stadium to watch for nowadays. The sameday I bought my season tickets, Parcells released Thomas, and announced he was rebuilding
