    Ok, so this is not even near confirmed, but this guy on another forum seems pretty convinced of it... We shall see.. He claims to have inside info.

    The most popular rumor going around seems to be their 2nd rounder + Simms (maybe).

    Tampa only has 5 picks, so unless we got that top pick, I'd say we're looking at 2009......should a deal actually take place.

    EDIT: of course players are also possible.

    Dang. I rather have a 4th rounder. They were going to cut Simms anyways, weren't they?

    "THIS JUST IN

    WQAM out of Miami is reporting that the Bucs have agreed to trade the #52 (2nd round pick) pick in the '08 draft to Miami for Jason Taylor."

    Thats what he said according to your link.

    Chris Simms or Phil? Phil is ok put him in the radio booth, but Chris? I'd rather have some used footballs.

    Bucs Interested In Taylor

    By Patrick Dorsey | April 25th, 2008

    E-mail | Print | Share

    The St. Petersburg Times reports that the Dolphins and Buccaneers are engaging in talks for Miami defensive end Jason Taylor.

    The Dolphins are trying to trade him, wanting to make their defense more young and get rid of Taylor’s large contract.

    Tampa Bay could use a better pass rush. Kevin Carter is a solid run-stopper, but he lacks in pass-rushing ability. Also, Greg White is unhappy about his contract situation, and may not play in 2008 to become an unrestricted free agent after the season. Also, Derrick Brooks is starting to age, and is already thirty-five.

    Taylor would greatly improve their pass rush. Despite being thirty-four, he still gets close to double digit sacks each year, and is a defensive leader. Adding him to Tampa Bay’s defense would make it much better and take pressure off the secondary.

    However, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to get him. They’d only offer their second round pick, and the Dolphins want a first rounder for Taylor’s superb talent and character.

    Then again, no one is willing to give them this, so they may choose to take a second rounder out of desperation. I doubt it’ll happen, but you never do know, and its possible that Miami lowers their demand.

    So, Tampa Bay is now going after two marquee players on the block in Taylor and Lito Sheppard. Sheppard appears to be the most likely to land with the Bucs, but the Saints are also after him, so many Tampa will turn their attention to Taylor."



    Thats the latest post from ign.com

    He said this yesterday and that Taylor and the Bucs were working on a contract. Okay there is a little more confirmation though no major news orgs have picked up on this...still not buying. I would be happy with the 2nd round pick.

    I really don't think you guys should forget that first of all he is turning 34 this year. We were all praying and hoping for a decent second rounder for a while now and hey it looks like we may have it.

    I'm surprised Jacksonville was so stupid as to not trade for him.

    I'm not seeing that article in the SP Times. Nothing on Tampa Tribune. Nothing so far on Tampa radio, though I'm not really listening.

    I'm calling BS.

    Looks like this was false. Still expecting a trade to JAX though.

    Gaines Adams and Jason Taylor would make for one devastating pass rushing tandem.

    especially if that extra 2nd somehow helped enable us to grab Connor with our first 2nd. Meaning we could then target another position later in the round.


    btw I think we are the only two that's really big on Dan...lol

    The only way we trade back into the 1st IMO is if the FO are really sold on Groves or Henne. Harvey will be way out of reach to move that high.

    Could we rape Jerry Jones a little more and maybe get one of their 1st for Taylor? He already gave us two players for a 4th. It could happen........:wink2:

    Maybe it will be the other way around, we could get their two firsts for JT( we gave one for two, now they give two for one). You know what they say, friends help friends out. BP and JJ are friends so ......






    so damn I gotta stop dreaming *slaps himself*

    "Travolta, I mean Taylor, has requested through his agent to be traded. Actually, a request is kind of soft. He pretty much has demanded a trade. That is the primary reason Miami general manager Jeff Irleand has been calling teams during the past week, shopping Taylor (pictured).

    The most interested teams -- and thus most likely to make a trade for Taylor if one happens at all -- are Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Dallas, Washington and Denver."
