Re: Is paying Jason Taylor $8.5M the best use of salary cap dollars?

If we could cut his cap number in half this year, it would give us space to go after a starting caliber LB, FS, or a WR like Devery Henderson in free agency.
I say FS and WR would be nice to address because in FA because theyre both fairly cheap and theres some good players out there (compared to OL and DL) and they are positions where we could use some help. I'm 90% sure Landry will be moved to SS this year and itd be nice to give kareem Moore some competition for the starting FS spot. By all appearances, ARE will be gone in 2010, moss needs to move to the #2 or slot position sometime soon, and if we dont upgrade the position soon, it means we're counting on Kelly and Thomas to BOTH turn out to be good. I think Thomas can be a star but Kelly may only end up being more of a #3/posession WR.

Agreed BHA. But the question is does JT see himself playing past 2010?
