Defensive End Roundup - Jason Taylor or Vonnie Holliday?

Published March 3, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.

DE Jason Taylor was just released by Washington. His awful (for him) 2008 season is a giant warning sign that, at age 35, he's done. But he was an elite pass rusher as recently as 2007. He wouldn't start at right defensive end; at 255 lbs. he's undersized for a defensive end in a 3-4 defense. But he would play a lot as a hybrid right OLB/DE. Unfortunately teams have lost their mind with insane contracts for defensive lineman this offseason, see DT Colin Cole, and I expect there is enough crazy

OK, I have no evidence for this - haven’t even read any rumors anywhere. Once again, I’m starting rumors. But Vonnie Holliday was just released by the Dolphins in a cap room move. Jason Taylor was also just released by the Skins. Let’s just pick them both up. Let’s not make sort-of offers and come [ ... ] ...

Greg Bedard stirs the pot here in regards to the Packers possibly looking at Vonnie Holliday, who is set to be released by the Dolphins. I don’t know if Thompson would even think about bringing in someone Holliday’s age, but I think it would immediately help in two areas: veteran leadership (that was for you [ ... ] ...

Published March 2, 2009 at 12:33 a.m.

I have no problem with the Packers not wanting to commit to a contract offer over the phone to a guy they’ve never met, but I also understand where an NFL player doesn’t want to get on a plane if a team isn’t serious. This passage from Pete Dougherty is particularly telling:Earlier Sunday, before the [ ... ] ...

Published March 1, 2009 at 7:41 p.m.

The only free agent that had been scheduled to visit Green Bay, Dallas DE Chris Canty, has been taken off the market. New York signed him for 6 years, $42 million, with $17 million guaranteed ... The Packers could have afforded him, and he would have solidified the left defensive end spot vacated by DE Aaron Kampman as he converts to left outside linebacker. But over at Blogging The Boys they said "Canty's was one of Dallas' biggest problems the past few seasons." Dallas, one of the leaders in
