Well looking at Canty's deal, I don't think that $8.5 for Jason Taylor is that bad. Also, you mentioned Evans and a journeyman linebacker. Do you really think that the team is better off with those parts than a healthy Jason Taylor?

Plus, I think that Willis is going to sign a big deal so I am not convinced they could sign him, Evans and an LB.

We have four draft picks including the 13th pick. If we cannot find a couple of starters in our draft, we will never be a contender. The draft has to be productive.

So Jason Taylor has a low sack total but plays through two potential season ending injuries and the team would be better served with a part time lineman and a journeyman linebacker? I think he deserves a little more credit than that.
