Taylor to Return w/o Restructure or Paycut

I highly anticipate hearing the rationalizations for this move...

They may be in talks with a OLB or LDE who knows.

JT will stop the run this season as well as get sacks if he is allowed to play his position. Thats almost for sure. I wish I was more of an expert on which players are versitile to play alternate positions but Im not. I really am looking forward to Smoots Input on this.

There has to be a way to make this work. I hope.

I don't like it but worst move of the entire offseason? That's being a bit dramatic.

I said the early off-season Matty... again I would like nothing better than to start a thread 10 mo from now titled "I was totally wrong when..."

Regardless, I would still give the worst move to the Bungals for franchising their kicker. There are probably others too that one is just off the top of my head.

If you guys had to keep one player- either Springs or Taylor with their current cap figures, which one would you keep and why?

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that he was seriously injured?? Think about the calf muscle and how vital it would be to a defensive end. He's still only a couple seasons removed from being the NFL Defensive MVP. I'm not saying he's worth 8M, but we don't have any other options right now. If you think a guy like Boley would solve our run-D woes, your sadly mistaken.

I agree DL, If JT comes out 100% we could not have done better in the FA or the Draft. He should not have to restructure and Im glad he did'nt. I want a $8M JT type performance. Not a player with a restructured mentality. That would not test his character IMO.

I'm excited he's back. Dont hate me Goat ;)

Hey 44! we agree on something! right on.

Yeah, I just hope we don't look like two chumps next season. Oh well at least we'll agree we were wrong:)

I think we are right about JT. But I understand the concern from Goat and some of the others who don't like the move.

F..., I would rather we kept MW. @ 8.5m, JT is sodomising this franchise. Great move Vinny, its becoming typical Redskins offseason moves. Well, this has certainly soured the beginning of what is already a crummy week.

I'm glad he didn't restructure. If he did, it would mean spreading his cap numbers out over the next few seasons. If a new CBA is reached, that would mean his numbers would count against us when he won't even be on the team. No thanks. We've done enough of spreading out contracts of older players with our "restructuring."

I say we experiment with Andre Carter at full time LDE, and put Taylor where he has excelled in the past - RDE. It's not like Carter dominated from the right side last year. Of course if that happens, we'll need a damn good Will LB to play behind Taylor for run support.

In light of this decision by Vinny and the gang, I expect Shawn Springs to be gone, especially since we're in full-on negotiations with D.Hall. I also think IF Phillip Daniels is still in the teams plans even after he hits the FA market, he'll be playing for the vet minimum.

Not nessecary man.
