Wow, does that mean we are going to try and draft Orakpo or are we going to get Demetric Evans back?

May be he will re-sign cheaper or retire

Something about not wanting to workout with team during the off season

I watched the NFL Total Access from yesterday and they were talking how the signing of AH was going impact Jason Taylor and Andre Carter and now they released Jason Taylor. I wonder what we are going to do now after his release

Give Mr. young legs aka Chris Wilson an opportunity to rush the passer. With the attention going to the 100 million dollar man, Wilson should have one on one situations quite often. I never understood why they didn't give that young man an opportunity to begin with to have more chances to sack the QB.

Yeah, I agree with you on Chris Wilson. Do you think though that the front office has their eye on someone else at that position?

Idk. I guess this does mean we are leaning towards Orakpo but we still need a RT. Man, now I really wish we wouldnt have traded that 2nd rounder for him.

It has been said that The Skins were watching Orakpo like a hawk at the combine

We need to let Chris Wilson have a run at it at his vacated end spot. We probably should resign Evans with the cap space we just cleared up so we have him and Phillip Daniels as insurance policies if Chris Wilson doesn't succeed at the spot. I would much rather take Andre Smith(if he falls) or Michael Oher than Orakpo.

He did? Man, I need to get up to date. Lets atleast get Demetric Evans back.

I had no idea that Phillip Daniels was released either

At midnight last Thursday

Back to Taylor...

The team was willing to keep Taylor at his $8 million salary, but asked for a workout clause to be added to his contract.

The workout clause would have required Taylor to attend 25 of 39 days of the offseason program, and he refused.

I guess Demetric Evans his flight to San Francisco was delayed due to the weather. That's what I read on the 49erswebzone.com

Does that mean he's FA looking or resigning, though? I still think he's a cog in our machine if healthy. I also liked Rob Jackson last pre-season. A full season with the skins, I'm interested to see what he's bringing this year.

I agree with you on Rob Jackson as well. I liked what I saw in him last pre-season

I am ticked that ESPNews want talk about it. There have been 5 commercials and nothing on the release.

I think Phillip Daniels will be back, but he can't be our starter.

Rob Jackson would be a good pickup. With Andre Carter on one side, Haynsworth at one DT spot, and a good rotation at the other DT spot, we don't need a beast at that spot to be successful.

Daniels and Evans can sign with anyone... Daniels wants to stay here, Evans wants to start.

I can see this guy in B&G soon
