Jason Taylor?

JASON TAYLOR A PACKER?
There are rumors about the Packers trading for DE Jason Taylor from the Miami Dolphins. There seems to be a very little chance of this actually going through because of GM Ted Thompson's desire of not trading away draft picks, especially first day picks. But if the Dolphins would accept a 3rd round conditional pick that could get bumped up to 2nd rounder if he reached certain performance conditions such as 10 sacks or 75% of defensive downs played or something of that nature, it would be a good trade for the packers. I think Taylor has 2 more good years left in him, which could be easily more than a 2nd or 3rd pick might ever give. Taylor could team with Aaron Kampman to give us one of the best bookend DE's in the game. This would also move Cullen Jenkins back to DT alongside Ryan Pickett where he thrived 2 years ago. And with the health of last years 1st round pick Justin Harrell still unclear, it would give us good insurance for the D line. I hope the Dolphins become motivated to make this deal because it would definately improve our team. The Defense is dependant on a pressuring D-line for our defense to excel, we wore down last year in the NFC Championship game and it cost us big time.

I thought maybe there'd be something about Brett Favre on here.
