Jason Taylor is not the same player anymore. Of course he is still one of the best ends in league. He's been very durable for most of his career, but he also definitely has plans for after football. I don't see him playing for more than a couple of years....and its possible he could have a big decline in his play during that time.
I would love to have someone like him around for Mario....I just wouldn't want to lose a third round pick for him at this stage in hi career. I think the Dolphins screwed up by not moving him before or during the draft. Teams would have been more likely to deal then. Now the Dolphins are in the situation of HAVING to trade him....or risk having a very bad situation drag out over the whole season.
I would be happy if we got him....I would just prefer it if we did for a fourth round pick or later. Even fourth round picks can be very important to the long term "health" of a team.
