Would You Give A 3rd Rounder For Jason Taylor?

As others have mentioned, putting more pressure on the QB, as Taylor would do, opens things up more for Mario, who is already a handful, and will make things easier on our secondary, which is our biggest weakness on defense. I doubt that it happens, but I think it would be worth it to try.

i say you are a homer, and that you are homering all over this post.

taylor might bring us one step closer to elite, but wouldn't put us over the hump so to speak. reggie white might take this texans defense and put it to elite status, but jason taylor does not. perhaps the continued development of mario, amobi, tj, fred bennett, the return to health of dunta/earl to a lesser extent, the blooming of diles, adibi, and molden, and consistent solid play from demps and co. at safety AND jason taylor MIGHT put us up to elite but that's banking off of too many walls for me to believe.

weaver, taylor, mario, amobi, tj....damn that's a lotta cash for 1 line

I'd trade Weaver for Taylor in a heart beat (weaver has a big contract and so does taylor so you have to even it out)
and maybe a 5th or so on the draft scale

weaver and a 5th for taylor sounds like a way sweeter deal for us. taylor + weaver on the same line is one expensive position to fill.

sure it is...and why the Dolphins wouldn't consider it. a 5th plus a worthless player for Taylor isn't too enticing.

I had written up a long post explaining why your statement above is being overly critical, but you are not going to be swayed, I can tell, so I won't bother. I will say that I thought I heard on the radio the other day that Taylor stated he will only play one more season. If that is indeed the case, I would not give up a 3rd for him. My willingness to trade a 3rd round pick is contingent on him being here and being productive for 2 more years (which I think he could do...if he was willing).

Let me ask you this, would you be willing to trade Eric Winston for Taylor, straight up?

haha fair enough...nellying hehehe...funny word. i just think you are expecting way too much development out of our young defense for taylor to matter in the "one player away" department. but agree to disagree

winston for taylor no way. taylor and a 1st, and a 1st next year, and a conditional 3rd that could escalate to 3 more 1st rounds until like 2013 maybe ill mull it over... winston is and will be as long as he continues developing (or as long as he is willing to stay here) a cornerstone of the texans offense.

yea, basically all they would get is a stop-gap (which is all he has amounted to thus far) replacement and a shot in the dark at fixing it...

.....so call 'em up right? haha...

Any talk of giving up draft choices for old has-beens like Taylor should be completely out of the question for the Texans. As stated in the post above, Taylor will only play one more year, he is 34 years old, and has a humongous salary which would decimate our cap. We are not going to win it all this year, so why do something panicky? Stay the course and build through the Draft.
