Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)

1.The Giants have a few young DE's that can take Strahans place. They do and did have a plan.

2. It just seems selfish to go on TV and prance around when your team went 1-15 and you're suppose to be one of the leaders. Do that shit you retire. I don't blame Parcells one damn bit. I'm sure he wasn't busting his ass staying in shape like his teammates were. He seems more worried about his Hollywood career at this point of his life than his football career.

3. I'm saying a guy that has been on the bench for a few years. Not someone right out of the draft. Like D. Evans. Why not plug him in and give the guy a chance? How many years has he been here????? It's time for him to become a full time player!! I just think that constantly chasing old guys cause we don't a plan is not the way to do things. This is the 2nd year in a row where we had to give up draft picks and bring in an old guy cause there was no one of any quality waiting behind the current starter. No plan last year when Dock left. Oh yeah... we tried that Todd Wade experiment. That didn't go over so well.

The reason I'm not happy about his trade is we've already tried this way for several years and it hasn't wokred.

1. We'll have to agree to disagree. I don't think the Giants were specifically planning for Strahan's retirement 4 years ago when they drafted Tuck or 6 years ago when they drafted Omenyiora.

2. It's the offseason. He's entitled, especially considering what he's proven for over a decade, to do what he wants. He'll probably have more sacks alone than all of the Dolphins DEs

3. I'm sure Evans will get playing time, regardless.

So who will wear #99 this season......

I'm happy with the trade. We didn't break the bank and we got a known commodity. I'll be even happier if we consistently get 5 sack games.

LOL, wow what's day 2 of the Zorn era going to look like??!?! I like the move, we're getting a proven stud for a couple (hopefully) of years..

Don't discount Snyder's Hollywood connections to getting a little more out of JT possibly.. That'd be an interesting thing to watch contract wise, if he signs an extension or lower $$ deal, yet gets a multi picture deal with Snyder's studio..

Football-wise it's a huge win though, Taylor vs. Daniels is nowhere close.. Should be interesting around the family dinner table though with his wife being married to Cowboys LB Zach Thomas!


Wow! That would be interesting. I didn't realize his wife was married to Zach Thomas.

What the hell does that mean???..."His wife is married to Zach Thomas?"


I'm pretty sure that would be grounds for a divorce.

I think his sister is married to ZT

I approve of this trade! We haven't had a formidable pass rush in years. This will definitely take some pressure of the corners. Plus, this will free up Landry to make even more plays.

I like getting him as a replacement for Daniels but I think the price was too high. A 2nd rounder (the 6th rounder I'm not really concerned about) for a guy that is going to play 1 more season at most? I feel that if a team gives up a second rounder, they should either be getting, an A. young valuable player with lots of upside who has room to grow and become an impact starter for years, or B. a guy who is in his prime who can immediately contribute for at least 5 more seasons. Taylor is a guy who is a proven commodity but has also expressed his desire to retire after this season and he's at least 33 years old, which means his performance next season isn't guaranteed to be as good as his last.

In an ideal world we should be getting Juluis Peppers and Osi and Ware for a single sixth round pick and them all reducing their salaries to the league minimum .

Who else could we have got ? I think we will be in the market for a DE in the draft next year BUT I liked the draft taking the best player over the player of need increases your chances of scoring a hit .

Where the hell have I been? I got to work to find out Daniels goes down to injury and JT is now a Redskin. I am so glad football is back but I didn't expect it to be like this on the second day of camp.
