Despite a flurry of rumors and even inaccurate media reports, the Dolphins in fact did not trade Jason Taylor on Saturday. The Dolphins didn't even field calls for Taylor, according to general manager Jeff Ireland. This much is not rumor: Despite vice president of football operations Bill Parcells saying that the only way Taylor doesn't play for Miami this year is if he retires, the Dolphins are indeed open to trading Taylor. Ireland spent part of last week calling other NFL teams to gauge interest in Taylor. And managing partner Wayne Huizenga told Palm Beach radio station ESPN 760 he would be open to trading Taylor.

market pays what the market pays. best trade deal you might get could be with the bengals, since they got blocked on day 1 for any de/dt they had targeted.

(thanks cheifs, aints, and haguars)

Hard to guess what the bengals would trade for a 33-34 yr old end, but you might get 2 picks from them in the 5th to 6th rounds.

<watch swinging from side to side>, a voice calls out, 'Keep your eyes on the watch going back and forth, you are getting sleepy, very sleepy. Your eyelids are getting heavy, you can barely keep your eyes open. At the count of three, you will fall into a deep sleep...one...two...three. You will wake up at the snap of my fingers and when you do, you will remember one thing. The Patriots, I want to play for the Patriots...one...two...three *SNAP*.' 'How are you feeling, Mr. Taylor?'

It's a business man. Let's be real. Taylor don't give a crap about the Dolphins.....and vice versa. NFL player's has gots to get what they can...when they can. They are like greyhounds - for that matter.....you better be successful OR you get put down. No play - no money. Life is really tough and hard.....Taylor can threaten and so can the Dolphins. Taylor can lie and so can the Dolphins. You think Taylor is a reall good player or is it because of his teammate next to him? Patriots choked. Giants got lucky. That is how life is. You get what you can when you can get it.

Yeah.. Reeaaal lucky huh ?? Did you watch the game ? The Giants outplayed the cheatriots...Period....DEAL !

That was after they "got lucky" on the road in TB and after they "got lucky" on the road in Dallass and after they "got lucky" in 24 below zero on the road in GB....I hope "life" lets you "get' some reality.

No one said anything about the Giants getting lucky on the road. Their best games are on the road because they don't get booed as much as they do at home.
That's probably one of the reasons they won the Super Bowl; it was just another road game. One more thing giantfbl, try to get rid of that chip on your shoulder before you puncture your lung.

Taylor would be an addition to ANY team. The Dolphins aren't going anywhere this year anyways. Let Taylor go elsewhere.

April 27, 2008  12:17 PM ET

If the 'Phins were to trade Taylor before June 1, they would likely take a sizable cap hit. Look for action after that date.

Taylor is getting older and is making 8 million. So, who can add him to there salary cap? Bet you he'll land to the Pat's for chump change, just like Moss did....

Is it possible to debate this without name calling? Im laying odds RIGHT now, that you're a bandwagon fan. That you threw Manning and Coughlin under the bus back in October .. Im also willing to bet, that you knew in your heart and you vocalized it before the SB that the Giants would lose. You never had faith that the Giants would win until there was 90 seconds left in the game.
Bet me you piece of bandwagon mud.
If you cannot discuss the teams without resorting to namecalling? well two can play that game.

April 27, 2008  05:16 PM ET

and Coco? we would be THRILLED to have him.

You remind me of another Sopranos character: Big P.u.ss.y. Would love to meet you face to face you little girl!!

April 27, 2008  05:37 PM ET

How about Taylor traded to Phili for Lito Shepard? Phili needs a DE and we need major CB help, it would be a good fair trade that would help both teams...how about that idea?

April 27, 2008  05:52 PM ET

Majic..
no.
JT wants to play in New England.

April 27, 2008  06:03 PM ET

Don't you think it would have happened by now?

April 27, 2008  06:05 PM ET

Hooah
never ever underestimate the pull of New England.
Anything can happen between now and Aug 1st
