I would actually be thrilled to get Jason Taylor (obviously for the right price). I think he is a great pass rusher right now and probably for another 2 seasons. In the event that he does start slowing down, i feel like he has the frame to put on a few pounds of muscle and adapt his game a little bit to be a run-stopper. I don't think there is much risk in paying him for a few years and having him restructure his contract down the line.

Some of you guys who disagree with acquiring him are rightfully wary of chemistry issues, him fitting into our system, previous FA's gone bad, and dead cap space but i think Jason Taylor is the kind of guy who has so much talent that he is definitely worth it.

2007-11 sacks 56 tackles
2006-13.5 sacks 60 tackles
2005-12.0 sacks 74 tackles
2004-9.5 sacks 67 tackles
2003-13.0 sacks 57 tackles
2002-18.5 sacks 69 tackles
2001-8.5 sacks 70 tackles
2000-14.5 sacks 65 tackles

If that isn't the model of consistency i don't know what is...Considering he lost that complementary guy in Ogunleye in '03 but hasn't missed a beat and has cranked out those numbers, it's really impressive. He get's double teamed nearly every game he plays. I think this is the most important stat to us if we get him...In the past 10 years the Miami dolphins have played 160 regular season games and Jason Taylor has started 158 and played in 159 of those games. He hasn't missed a game in EIGHT years. That is just SICK from the D-end position.
