So, I think he was the big name Free Agent linked with Dom Capers. Didn't Jason play for Capers in Miami?

Is Jason available?

If so, I'd grab him up now. He's gonna be cheap as crap now lol. I hear he didn't get along with Washington too well. Not sure if it was the city or players or scheme, just that he's not happy being a Redskin.

Taylor is still under contract with the Skins, but there was a lot of talk that he'd be cut in the off-season.

In fact, Taylor himself said that he had underachieved based on his contract, and I believe he also said he was aware that there was a real possibility that the Skins would cut him.

Taylor's had good things to say about Capers, so I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to play for Dom one more time. He may be willing to take a 4-5 million/yr contract to serve as a DE (4-3) / LB (3-4) hybrid. When we do run the 4-3 packages on passing down, Taylor could try to fit the role that KGB played, while Kamp would be opposite of Taylor.

The biggest positive about Taylor would be that he's got experience in the 3-4, and it was with Capers to boot. It's of the utmost importance that there are FAs familiar with the 3-4 brought in this off-season, because it'd serve as an invaluable tool to help the transition of a 4-3 team to the 3-4.

Does anyone know if DT Keith Traylor is a FA?

I think Taylor signed a two-year deal with the skins last year, so he's not a free agent... yet. there is much talk about him getting cut. and, as i understand it, it was under Capers coaching that Taylor won defensive player of the year in, i believe, 2006.

Jason did win defensive player of the year while Dom was in Miami in 2006..


Although I do not think he was the DC at that time...

He was Dc in 2007

But since Jason knows him, knows what is expected, it has to be a notch for the Packers

Jason Taylor's stats from 2008:

                     Tackles                     Interceptions
 G GS    Total Solo Ast Sacks Safety    PDef Int  Yds   Avg  Lng  TDs  
13  8      29   21   8   3.5    --        9   --   --   0.0   --   --

Why should we take up a roster spot and pay the veterans minimum for 8 starts, 29 tackles, and 3.5 sacks -- numbers any one of our current third-stringers could give us for a while lot cheaper? If we're going to get a free agent, let's get someone who could give us a substantive impact.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
