According to the Green Bay Gazette, the Packers have made inquiries to the availability of Miami Dolphins DE Jason Taylor.
Ted Thompson the Green Bay GM is a frugal trader who rarely trades picks for players and the Dolphins reportedly want a 2nd round pick for the “I want to play one more year” All-Pro. It was only a year ago that Thompson refused to trade a 4th round pick for Randy Moss.
As the training camp season moves closer and the season as well, more teams will likely “inquire” about JT fueling more rumors about an eventual trade. While this new “rumor” sounds fun to speculate on.
Until the Dolphins lower their demand or are offered a can’t miss young prospect, JT will not be leaving anytime soon.
Updating reports, apparently Ted Thompson has spoken with members of the Green Bay coaching staff about Taylor, an indication that his interests are genuine. Still, the price tag both in compensation and in the current salary is a bit much to ask. While Green Bay would be an ideal “final” career destination for Jason Taylor, the reality is, this is still just another in a long line of rumors regarding the reigning NFL Man of the Year.
