[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 672272"] I can't recall exactly, though I may have suggested it as a possibility on second thought. Once they give one of their own guys a multi-year deal, even if it's just 2 years, they are disinclined to undo it before year 1 begins, especially with $600k in dead cap which reduces the the cap savings at $850k. However, the deal was signed before the draft in an apparent "who else ya got" calculation not knowing what the 2016 draft would bring and 2017 FA pending. I think it's safe to say we'd never want to see Taylor at OT. His sole utility is at OG. Frankly, I'd rather see them run Tretter or Barclay out there in front of Taylor. So that makes him my #9 OL at this juncture. He could be #10 if Murphy gets over his concussion soon and they send him out for OG snaps in preseason at what looks like his natural position. As you may have guessed, I don't think much of Taylor as a player or his contract. But it is what it is. It looks to me to be an insurance premium was paid with no claim filing to materialize. Does anybody think this guy should be starting in 2017? [/QUOTE]
