First, Best I remember Greg Ellis had written into his contract that he couldnt be traded unless he approved the deal, not sure but i think something along those lines were written. Next, even if not, but I think was contact written Greg Ellis isnt going to a losing team that is rebuilding, just wont happen.
Second, like someone mentioned, and I posted this too about 2-3 weeks ago, that a trade for jason taylor from miami and i got blasted pretty good, by some guys telling me no, wont happen, you dont want another older player.
Third, like some guy mentioned, I think this is the type of deal that when the Cowboys traded for Charles Haley, can have the same effect for us. Granted Jason Taylor plays mostly RDE, but best I remember in 2006, he played outside linebacker in the 3-4 in 2006 and won defenisve player of the year honors. So, he can make transition. Now, if he only played right side, can he play leftside, where you need to be stronger on outside, and learn left handed moves, I dont know that, but the guy Jason Taylor is a beast like Haley was, and there is a report that he would redo his contract to work out a trade with Dallas.
Next, you got to remember, his buddy Zach Thomas is here, and telling him what he sees, etc, and what Dallas needs on defense. Taylor wants to be in a super bowl and win, be a champion. Taylor also has played in a big playoff game and he knows what it takes to win. Thats a must for our defense. Also, Taylor said he would play 2-3 years if traded to Dallas.
Next, if you guys remember, right after the playoff loss to the Giants, greg ellis popped off again that maybe he would be better off in New england. Now, is that the type of leader that you want on defense, that is showing our defensive players what it takes to win and go to the super bowl?
Just think about that, and let that sink in!
I say this, greg said he wanted to go to new england, trade him to the patriots, hopefully you can get a # 3, then if so, trade our # 3 pick to miami. I think new englands pick will be higher in the draft than our pick in the 3rd this year.
NOt sure if i would trade bobby carpenter, but we alll know that bill parcells wants bobby in miami. Maybe a trade if need be, and we can get a draft pick in exchange or something if need be.
I look at it this way, not sure where it is, but I believe in this, where the Lord says I build powers, principalities, kingdoms, etc, and i can tear them down. The Lord knows what we need, what players would help us to win those championships again. So, whatever he thinks we need, then let him whisper to jerry jones and the cowboys whatever we need to build our dynasty in Dallas again like we had in early 1990's.
In other words, let the chips fall where they may, whatever we need, go get it.
As far as charles haley in age too jason taylor, their are about the same age, Haley was born in 1964, he was 22 when he was drafted by the 49ers, and 33 when he was traded to cowboys in 92. So, best to my knowledge that makes taylor one year older, not much, and if you remember, haley was a terror at 33 and 34, had back back when he was 36, but helped us win the super bowl against the steelers, but he was on decline at end of 95.
So, I say, whatever we need, if you see it can help your team, go do it, dont give away the farm though, make bill parcells give up something this time. REmember now, parcells got hoyte, keith davis, Fasaon a # 2 draft pick and akin odoyle for a 4th pick, so i say, its time we milk somethiing out of parcells.
