Is paying Jason Taylor $8.5M the best use of salary cap dollars?

No. But it looks like that's not on the table so far.

Keeping him seems to smack of face saving on vinny/danny's part. Awfully expensive acquisition when you combine salary + a 2nd round pick. I will admit that at the time I liked the trade, yet a 2nd round pick these days is pretty high. Cassell was just traded for a 2nd rounder & he may be a franchise qb. Granted, it was an early 2nd.

Looks like Evans is gone no matter what. Maybe he could sign here for vet min. if he's desparate, but they've already given his # to AH.
