As much as I despise the "Should we sign this guy" threads...

Keith Traylor was just released by the Patriots to allow Vince Wilfork more opportunities to play. Despite his advanced age (35 - hey wait, I'm 35!), Traylor is a huge body and good run stopper who might welcome the opportunity to platoon on a line. He would also be reunited with Greg Blache, his former coordinator with the Bears who focuses on the D-Line as coordinator with the Redskins.

i don't know. he is a defensive tackle. we need a de. cornelius griffin and joe salave'a are the starters there. im not sure how good he'd be at defensive end.

i don't know. he is a defensive tackle. we need a de. cornelius griffin and joe salave'a are the starters there. im not sure how good he'd be at defensive end.I agree we need a de we had little problems stopping the run last year and we need to put more presure on th QB.

we're fine against the run. we DO need a pass rushing end.

we could use another DT next to griffin, bring him in

Not sure I'd jump at Traylor, but I would like to sign Kevin Hardy (LB released by Bengals yesterday) and move him inside (assuming the price is right and it's a short-term deal).

nah. joe salave's is fine. we didn't have a problem with run defense last season. we need pass rushing help. getting another dt isn't gonna help us. we need a pass rushing defensive end.

I think we could sign Traylor to a veteran minimum with incentives and could therefore be worth the risk. Besides, bringing him in just for a look can't hurt. He's a big body who can keep blockers off of LBs and that's huge for any defense.

he takes up more blockers than salavea freeing up our lbs to make more plays and sacks, get him

im always in favor of the huge fat ass in the middle, even in the 4-3 scheme...i love how we stopped the run last season as well...but you can always get better. and traylor can be a great 1st and 10 or 3rd n short/goaline guy
