I'll ante up that crazy asshole Bart Scott too. The mad backer is probably on the phone with him as we speak.
Will taylor be the starter at DE in the 3-4? With his age and build is he the guy we want in there on the running downs too?
Please, please, please get AT, Rex. Please. Yes, I think he would have a resurected career here under Rex. No, I don't think that would chase Bryan Thomas out of town.
He mentioned Nolan specifically when he was refuting the assumption that he would go to the Jets immediately after he was cut. Then again, I am willing to bet that it was just a smoke screen. Is that a serious question?
I have a strong feeling he'll sign with the Dolphins, HOWEVER, after having been through a 16-0 season only to LOSE in the playoffs, he may want another realistic chance.
I don't see us competing for him, but if we are his best available it is an easy choice. He is a Rex guy, and it gives us more reason to cut ties with BT. Taylor/AT would be a nice upgrade. While his play slipped in NE I think it has just as much to do with scheme and falling out of favor with the coaching staff. Would still be an upgrade to BT.
If AT were in the mix, we could keep our OLBs soooooooo fresh (and so clean). It would help keep JTs reps down so that he could be ready to unleash hell in the postseason [hopefully].
He's going to get 4.9 million from the Patriots. http://sports.espn.go.com/boston/nfl/news/story?id=5136454 The full story is here per Mike Reiss
There's really no need to cut anyone to add him. Westerman can return to playing ILB like he did for much of last season, Gholston has already been moved to DE. It just means tough shit for one of the UDFAs that we may have been hoping to develop.
John Henderson + AT for depth, and add Sharper later to start at FS, and then we're rocking and ready to go.
This is one roller coaster off-season. After this weekend's events, I thought we were gonig to be quiet for a while. Now BB drops A Thomas from the roster. Go get 'em Tanny. Shouldn't be too tough. And the saga continues....
What if Gholston gets outperformed by one or two of the UDFAs? I'd love it if he got the axe over getting outperformed by UDFAs at two positions in consecutive years. I'm sorry. I just thought that the one fact that was stated on this site more than any other could have been assumed.
he will be a jet by friday jets just freed money up by cutting faneca and trading leon plus they need another pass rusher since they didnt draft one a thomas, b thomas, j taylor, and pace is a hell of a olb crew
