Packers interested in Jason Taylor

[superfan]

why would we need another defensive end? we already have jenkins, kampman, and KGB.

With Favre gone, KGB is the highest-paid player on the team, and I don't think his play has been reflective of that kind of salary There's going to be some issues with free agency upcoming, unless TT does some work.

Last year is 2008:

Mark Tauscher (he's getting old, do they want to spend the money?)
Brady Poppinga (has been an adequate starter)
Couple other role players in there...

Last year is 2009:

KGB
Aaron Kampman (they're not going to be able to keep both...who ya' got?)
Chad Clifton
Brandon Chillar (one-year deal)
Ryan Pickett
Aaron Rodgers
Nick Collins
Tracy White
Daryn Colledge
Greg Jennings
Jason Spitz
Junius Coston
Johnny Jolly

If you can get Taylor to play two years or more, you can cut KGB, keep Kampman, move Jenkins back inside to replace Pickett (who's also getting old), and save some of the other starters.

John Clayton was on ESPN today saying that he doesn't think the deal will get done. Seeing how much money the Packers have to play with after Favre's departure (even after they give a hefty payday to Ryan Grant), Taylor could make some serious bank with the Pack and actually be on a contender.
