You got it :goodjob:

If the player in question is a couple years over thirty I suggest all NFL teams look into the studies performed by the research team over at Redskins Park. The available data suggests that GM's around the league should be fired on the spot anytime they aquire aging players with massive contracts period and if they give up high picks in the process they should be hit repeatedly over the head with a five pound bag of nacho cheese.

Any GM giving a 1st round pick for that 34 year old dancer should be fired on the spot! That pretty boy will be retired within 2 years…he thinks he is going to be an actor…he is not one of these guys playing until he’s 40 years old because he loves the game. I don't want him under any circumstances.

wow, giving up a first for an expensive 34 year old is never a good idea...

ESPN just reported that the Dolphins are shopping Taylor for a 1st round pick. I doubt they would accept much less...and we'd be moronic to trade the 21st pick for him considering he's old.

I wonder if the team drafts Jordy Nelson with their first pick? Call me crazy but Vinny and Dan always manage to find a way to surprise us.

Also I think another situation to watch very closely is the Jason Taylor saga. If you remember Parcells said that the only way Taylor doesn't play for the Dolpins is if he retires. In turn if they trade him then I would expect to see the Bengals observe the possible move from a PR standpoint, since this would give them a chance to see how going back on their word will affect their reputation as sturn negotiators.

Also, apparently the Dolphins are interested in Joe Flacco which could make the Redskins an ideal spot for teams to trade up since the Dolphins are trying to move right into our neighborhood. Then again I don't really remember ever hearing about Parcells trading picks to move up but in that case I would expect to see the trade look like so.

"There are four players of particular interest to the Dolphins, according to the Sun-Sentinel: Florida defensive end Derrick Harvey; Auburn defensive end Quentin Groves; Michigan quarterback Chad Henne; and Delaware quarterback Joe Flacco."

Dolphins get:
Redskins 1-21
Redskins 3-21

Redskins get:
Dolphins 2-1
Dolphins 3-1

Redskins would be able to bring in a draft class with Jordy Nelson, Duane Brown, and Charles Godfrey. Of course they would have to find a productive D-Lineman with their comp pick, but I think we'll be fine as long as the LB's come to play.

If we could pull off that trade and get Jason Taylor, I'd pull the trigger...but the Dolphins would be dumb to do that trade. They would only be a temporary plus with that first pick...they would be dropping down in the 3rd. It's a great deal for us, and a steal if we could afford his 8 mil salary.

We don't need another Bruce Smith. No sir, no deal.

Thanks but no thanks, dude's 33 and he may be a DPOY but a first round pick is too much for a guy that old.
