Holy Cow!
Cajun had said "what if" about Jason Taylor possiably coming to the Vikes. I said, "no way is he coming to us!" Well now that this happened I could see a drastic move to acquire him, Im really curious that Taylor could be a posiability!!!

This is shocking but at the same time not extremly shocking. Had to figure it was coming anyone with that amount of knee surgeries in that short of time will guranteed have problems in the future limiting his play.

I feel bad for him The injuries were not his fault and he never really got a chance to show his stuff...But thats football for you it is a cruel sport...Best of luck to him!

I'm not really surprised... I mean, he was a bust. Plain and simple. We have (and seem to still be pursuing) very good DE talent. James wasn't producing and he was still making pretty big money.

I had him gone next year, but this is a shocker.

Yeah, I mean... I wish nothing for the best for James in the future... but he never really impressed me anyways. He's played like a 5th or 6th round draft pick... making 1st round money.
