OK, ok...I've browsed through the threads, and maybe this has already been brought up 100 times, but I was just reading the Sun-Sentinel.com and it kinda got me thinking.

Jason Taylor for Jeremy Shockey. Maybe straight up, maybe in a package with picks one way or another.I for one, would definitely consider it - and for a couple of reasons.

One - Taylor goes to a top contender. This is a very important point, as I would hate to see him traded to a team that faces the same rebuilding that we do in Miami. He's all class, and deserves to be treated as such. With Zach gone, he would surely love to have a shot at a championship. We are obviously a couple years away from that.

Two- Shockey - while is an admitted jack---, brings a very tough and old-school persona to a team that is looking to have just that. He would instantly upgrade the TE position, and more importantly - give a new QB a very sturdy target and help for the WR corps. And, I think the fans would embrace him, since he is from 'THE U." I still remember his first pro game in the Hall of Fame game - he had one catch down the sideline, and absolutely RAN OVER a DB in that game and the entire Giants team went nuts, including Gap-Tooth. That kinda toughness can really motivate a team.

I don't know. I mean, after tomorrow, all the guesswork is done. So this is just my last stab at tryin' to help ol' Bill rebuild the team.

God, I can't wait for the draft.

Oh, and don't crucify me too bad if this was posted a million times. I love you all like family. Lol.
 
No, Taylor is a much better player than Shockey I don't care how much older he is. What like 5 years? I think we need a late first or early second round pick type value and I don't think Shockey is even equivalent to a first rounder or early second.

I wouldnt. We are depending on JT to either play OLB/DE for us or net us picks to help with rebuilding. Or was that a smokescreen I just put up? and I really want Shockey. You decide
 
I can just see Shockey and Porter cozying up next to each other for the team picture, can't you?

One of them would be dead before the first practice in TC was over.
