Jason Taylor Trade Rumors Thread

Interesting. I wonder if he has inside info on the compensation.

 

i have "heard - read...whatever" that its for their 2nd. I didnt hear anything else like also a 5th or 4th.

 

The most popular rumor going around seems to be their 2nd rounder + Simms (maybe).

 

Tampa only has 5 picks, so unless we got that top pick, I'd say we're looking at 2009......should a deal actually take place.

EDIT: of course players are also possible.

 

Dang. I rather have a 4th rounder. They were going to cut Simms anyways, weren't they?

 

what other forum?

 

i would take that, doesnt a 4th this year equal a 3rd next year? Im patient, ill take a 2nd and next years 3rd.

 

"THIS JUST IN

WQAM out of Miami is reporting that the Bucs have agreed to trade the #52 (2nd round pick) pick in the '08 draft to Miami for Jason Taylor."

Thats what he said according to your link.

 

Chris Simms or Phil? Phil is ok put him in the radio booth, but Chris? I'd rather have some used footballs.

 

If its for next year I will not be happy at all.

 

just saw your post alen hopefully thats right.

 

Bucs Interested In Taylor

The St. Petersburg Times reports that the Dolphins and Buccaneers are engaging in talks for Miami defensive end Jason Taylor.

The Dolphins are trying to trade him, wanting to make their defense more young and get rid of Taylor’s large contract.

Tampa Bay could use a better pass rush. Kevin Carter is a solid run-stopper, but he lacks in pass-rushing ability. Also, Greg White is unhappy about his contract situation, and may not play in 2008 to become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Also, Derrick Brooks is starting to age, and is already thirty-five.

Taylor would greatly improve their pass rush. Despite being thirty-four, he still gets close to double digit sacks each year, and is a defensive leader. Adding him to Tampa Bay’s defense would make it much better and take pressure off the secondary.

However, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get him. They’d only offer their second round pick, and the Dolphins want a first rounder for Taylor’s superb talent and character.

Then again, no one is willing to give them this, so they may choose to take a second rounder out of desperation. I doubt it’ll happen, but you never do know, and its possible that Miami lowers their demand.

So, Tampa Bay is now going after two marquee players on the block in Taylor and Lito Sheppard. Sheppard appears to be the most likely to land with the Bucs, but the Saints are also after him, so many Tampa will turn their attention to Taylor."



Thats the latest post from ign.com

 

He said this yesterday and that Taylor and the Bucs were working on a contract. Okay there is a little more confirmation though no major news orgs have picked up on this...still not buying. I would be happy with the 2nd round pick.

 

I really don't think you guys should forget that first of all he is turning 34 this year. We were all praying and hoping for a decent second rounder for a while now and hey it looks like we may have it.

I'm surprised Jacksonville was so stupid as to not trade for him.

 

listening to qam now, no news on it

 

I'm not seeing that article in the SP Times. Nothing on Tampa Tribune. Nothing so far on Tampa radio, though I'm not really listening.

I'm calling BS.

 

Ugh thats not a championship contender teanm :/

 

Looks like this was false. Still expecting a trade to JAX though.

 

its bs, marvez, big o, and bokamper have said zilch about this

 

i think this is bull**** i still think a trade will get done somewhere but who knows

 

Here's a link I found by a Bucs beat writer. Perhaps no BS after all.

Still labeled a rumor though, thats the key thing. Anything could be a rumor but this does has some interest.

 

Gaines Adams and Jason Taylor would make for one devastating pass rushing tandem.

 

IF we were to get their 2nd + Simms, I would absolutely WET MYSELF!!!!

 

especially if that extra 2nd somehow helped enable us to grab Connor with our first 2nd. Meaning we could then target another position later in the round.


btw I think we are the only two that's really big on Dan...lol

 

You really really like Connor lol. I dont blame you, any 'backer from Linebacker U is accepted on my team.

 

dont understand trading up with our 3rd #2, we need all the bodies we can get

 

i really like dan connor he reminds me of zach

i hope a trade gets done another 2nd round pick would be very helpful

 

The only way we trade back into the 1st IMO is if the FO are really sold on Groves or Henne. Harvey will be way out of reach to move that high.

 

Could we rape Jerry Jones a little more and maybe get one of their 1st for Taylor? He already gave us two players for a 4th. It could happen........

 

If we get this 2nd round pick and waste it by trading back into round 1 I will be furious.

 

Maybe it will be the other way around, we could get their two firsts for JT( we gave one for two, now they give two for one). You know what they say, friends help friends out. BP and JJ are friends so ......






so damn I gotta stop dreaming *slaps himself*

"Travolta, I mean Taylor, has requested through his agent to be traded. Actually, a request is kind of soft. He pretty much has demanded a trade. That is the primary reason Miami general manager Jeff Irleand has been calling teams during the past week, shopping Taylor (pictured).

The most interested teams -- and thus most likely to make a trade for Taylor if one happens at all -- are Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Dallas, Washington and Denver."

 

ireland was on espn and he didnt sound so sure about taylor when he was asked even the guys on espn said the same thing so i think a deal is going to be in the works

 

i hope its true a 2nd 4th and 6th?

i am not going to get my hopes up until something is announced
