Jason Taylor on the market?
According to this story on yahoo.com, Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor won't be with Miami much longer.
An 11-year veteran and the 2006 NFL defensive player of the year, Taylor and Miami have apparently come to an amicable decision to part ways sometime before the draft next month.
Bill Belichick has touted Taylor's talents on many occasions, and the Pro Bowler -- who'll appear in the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars" -- is friends with Tom Brady. As they did with Wes Welker last year, whom they said hurt them every time they played him, could the Patriots lock up Taylor to keep him from padding his sack totals against New England?

When Colven was let go it open the door for Taylor, who would be welcome in new england and an awsome fit for our defense. I thought Colvin was missed the secound half of the year and deffinatly in the playoffs. Taylor has speed and can put alot of pressure from the outside. I think Colvin was probably let go so that New England could go after Taylor. I hope we get him.

Let somebody else pay Taylor the big bucks. Let's not build the defense around older has beens. Let Philly take him. In two years Philly will be lucky to get a wild card slot.

Taylor would be such a nice score, especially after losing Rosie, that it's a no brainer. But the Pat's still have to focus on getting younger talent on board. Getting Tayloy might allow them to tighten the focus of their drafting. And that's big as they lost a first rounder.
