Phillip Daniels is done for the season, Buzbee also hurt (updated)

well, I dont know exactly what we're going to do about this, but I do no that whatever we do, we are going to severely overpay for it. Jason Taylor or otherwise. Demetric Evans starting would be a huge joke, and james coming off a 2nd torn ACL would be completely ineffective untill at least the end of the season when it is too late. We need somebody else. At least this happened sooner rather than later. :-(

I hope we don't trade our pick for Taylor, even if it's 2nd or 3rd rd.. It is not worthing trading away for a guy who wants to play only one more year..

I'm not surprised Daneils went down. He was injury plauged way before this year and he was playing on borrowed time.

I don't see what is so wrong with keeping the DE's we have. I know they suck but what was the expectation when we relied on Daniels to start and didn't draft/acquire any DE's this offseason.

We've stood pat on our DE's this offseason when it has been more than obvious the past 3 years we've needed to supplement our pass rush.



I'm not distraught because of Daniels because honestly I'm not surprised he should have retired last year. I'm distraught because the panic button is going to be pressed and we're going to start losing high draft picks.

a #1 would be too much, unless Taylor agrees to play at least 3 more years, imo.
Before we mortgage the farm for Taylor, Taylor has played the Rush DE postion his whole career. While he is a monster over there, making the transition to strong side will not be easy. While in Madden it might look great to have Carter at one DE and Taylor at the other, this may not translate well in reality. I don't know at this point in Taylor's career if he will hold up against the pounding he'll take over there (or if he'd be willing to), especially in the NFC East. If we have to give up more than a 3rd, I say no deal.

McFarland is still a FA, but he's a DT and the Steelers withdrew an offer for him in March due to a failed physical.

Everything I had read about Daniels going into this season was that he was in the best shape of his life, ready to give it another go. This is a terrible omen. Luckily, I don't believe in omens however.

Just heard John Clayton on ESPN. He said talks are underway and we are moving quickly to get Taylor; said he would be surprised if it didn't happen.

It's really a no brainer for both sides. Perhaps a number 2 for JT.

I'm fine with a 2nd rounder.

Hopefully we can re-work his deal to make it a bit more cap friendly.

I bet that's the only thing that will keep this from happening. Details. Think about it, if we can get Taylor in here by Monday, he has essentially missed none of training camp.

Yep and I'm sure that's part of the reason they want to get something done quickly.

Ok now reports are saying Buzbee was carted off with an injury, WTF?
