Jason Taylor Released

Jason Taylor released.....just saw on nfl live. sorry, no link yet.....don't call for my head

yep thats what i heard, now we save 8.5 million!!!

said he didn't want to conform to the offseason workout requests

was an awful lot of money, and if Daniels is healthy screw him

Thank god the FO finally realized they made a huge mistake and are now moving on.

I'm all for keeping Daniels, but I wonder if this is so they can sign a RT and go LB in the draft?

As unproductive as he was for us, I don't think this is a good move. Jason Taylor was hurt all year and playing on the wrong side of the line. I think if we gave him another shot and put him on the proper side we would have seen more production. I understand that 8.5 million is a lot to pay a guy who only had 3.5 sacks. However, we are now SUPER thin at DE. Do we sign someone, resign Taylor at a lower price, or draft a new DE?

I cant see why we would cut him now unless we are in the process of signing someone else. there are no FAs out there worth spending a significant amount of money on, so this could mean we're making a trade.

Maybe they'll sign Crowell, Willis or Smith? Here's a guy that sounds good but would cost a 2nd round pick:

Harvey Dahl: Falcons have placed a second-round tender on this restricted free agent guard/tackle, but he could be worth it. He is a big, nasty player who was very responsible for Michael Turner's big season.

I would have liked to have seen what he can do healthy, esp with AH now clogging up the middle.......but not for 8.5. He is getting older, and those nagging injuries only nag harder when you get old.
