You never know, we took the bait on Jason Taylor

We can't trade with ourselves. There was no market for Jason Taylor, like there's no market for Taylor, Springs, Washington, Daniels, Rabach, Betts, and Moss right now.

Well I would argue that Moss could easily generate some type of market value but the rest of those guys you mentioned have virtually little trade value short of a 7th round pick, if that.

I bet Betts could get a fourth.

I'd put him on the block and see what we could get, but I doubt that we get a 3rd or better, which is what I'd need to deal him if I was in charge.

I have officially had it with Santana Moss. Especially after that crap he pulled in the endzone while getting spanked by the lowly Bengals.

The guy is just plain average. He gave us one good year and hasn't done squat since.

To any other team, he's a #2 wideout at best.

Just as we took the bait and traded two draft picks each for Brandon Lloyd and T.J. Duckett. There aren't too many other teams out there that piss away as many draft choices for non-productive veterans.

Hey, someone might. I'd say Randle El should be on the block, maybe Betts, possibly Springs. They'd be taking a chance on him being healthy but he's still solid.

No matter what happens, El will be cut...

What makes you say that. At this point it would be virtually pointless. He's still productive and on top of that he would provide us with about $6 million worth of dead cap. Plus if Cowher comes over you can bet your ass that he's not going anywhere.

I feel he's very ineffective on punt returns, and on receptions he seems to have reached number 4 as an option behind Moss, Cooley and whoever's at running back.
