Redskins drawing interest in Ike Taylor

"Joe Bendel, of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, reports the Washington Redskins might have interest in restricted free agent CB Ike Taylor (Steelers). The Steelers offered Taylor a $1.55 million tender, meaning any team that signs him would have to give a first-round draft choice as compensation if the Steelers let him go."

I do not really understand what the first-round compensation means, but is Ike Taylor even worth that much???

I'm going to guess first round compensation means a first round draft pick.

I'm going to guess first round compensation means a first round draft pick.

It does indeed mean that.

I don't see us signing this guy.

From what I recall he isn't even that good, I think what they are asking for is way too much for him.

How good is he? We are a little short of available first rounders right now, and a first round pick is some weight!

I dont even see how that can be. We dont have a 1st rounder this year, they could take next years, but I just dont think he is worth that. We could draft a DB in the second round, he may not play this year, but I dont like using 1st round picks on DBs, unless they are truely studs, Bailey, Rodgers ect. You can get decent, hell pretty good DBs in the 2nd round.

thats insane. screw that. we need to keep at least a couple picks.

Dear God I hope there's nothing to this. A first rounder?.......for Ike Taylor?

Maybe they're just planning on ST being found guilty and they don't want all of their #21 "Taylor" jerseys going to waste. If we do this, I'm blaming the equipment manager.

It does indeed mean that.

phew, I took a shot in the dark, can't believe I got it right, ;)

i dont see it happening but it could be the same situation as lloyd. he too was a restricted free agent and would have required a first round pick if we signed him.
