It's official, JT is on the block

a low 1st?

We are having a hard time getting a 2nd pick. How do we expect to get a 1st?

I would accept anything that is in the 33-48 range for JT.

yeah, but nobody is gonna throw a number one at us for him...

And don't you start high in negotiations?

Much easier to get a second by asking for a first than by asking for a fourth and hoping they pony up a second because they're charitable.

I say we pay Rick Spielman a visit.

I'd be perfectly happy with just a 2nd rounder. IMO, at most we may be able to get is a 2nd and 4th, but no one in their right mind will pay a 1st (even a low 1st) given his age and possible new found interest in the limelight of Hollywood, meaning possible retirement to pursue other endeavors sooner than later.

With the Jake Long signing I think JT stays, just my opinion.

i think a contender would give up a low 1st (seeing what the giants did with a great pass rush) and knowing jt will stay and play longer for a contender, rather than a 1-15 rebuilding team.....just my opinion tho

Why does JT look like a DT in this picture.

The Redskins just tried to throw two #1's at the Bengals for a major headache, I could see them giving us a #1 for JT.

I love JT... but theres no doubting that we have many needs on this team. We're not going to get a first round pick, but you always ask high to start. If we can get a 2nd round pick, and a later choice like a 4th or a 5th, we should be able to move JT, get some extra picks. With 3 second round picks we could really start re-building the core of this team in a hurry! It's that thought right there, that really makes me think if we can move him... we should.

The posturing has begun:

"We're not interested," said one club's GM. "What, we're going to give up a first-round draft pick for someone who turns 34 this year? I don't think so."

One of the two teams to whom we spoke indicated it might have interest if the Dolphins were to lower their demands, but a source close to the club said it would surrender nothing higher than a third-round draft choice.

That jibes with what several coaches and general managers at the owners' winter meetings said they would offer for Taylor -- but it's far less than what Miami is seeking in return.

I'd say that we end up trading him for a second and maybe another pick(s).

Although he isn't an investment in a team's future, Taylor does provide "instant" pass rush legitimacy and big play ability to any suitor. Double digit sacks are almost a given with JT.
I feel that a 2nd rounder would be fair compensation.

I say we pay Rick Spielman a visit.

Or Dan Snyder.

The only team that has serious interest is the Jag's they have a low first rounder that they might part with due to being one piece away or so from the SB. I believe they have the
26th pick in the draft.

In that spot lawrence Jackson is available.

I think JT will end up a hit on the big screen. i would take a 2nd and a 5th for him.

So would I

The request for the low first rounder may be a ploy that BP is using to show JT that he his being "shopped" in good faith, with the knowledge that Miami will not just trade him for the sake of trading him. BP may know that no team will give him a first rounder, so why not just put it out so JT can see that he's at least trying, and if no one bites, JT is still in the plans for our defense... Just my thoughts...

I don't see JT being traded, but if Miami were trading him, I would expect them to have high demands. It's psychological tactic to ask for something big in return but really wanting something a bit smaller... If JT is traded on draft day, it'd be for a 2nd round pick, IMO.

i just get the feeling jason is going to be gone come saturday
