Dysfunction Junction? Or Part of Snyderatto’s Plan?
So Jason Taylor gets cut or otherwise dances out of town after a partial season with the Redskins.
Vinny Cerrato traded two draft picks for Taylor last year.
Now there's a big whole hole at defensive end. Again.
But which was the worse move: Trading for Taylor, or cutting him?

"Now there's a big whole at defensive end."
Does this mean the lack of a DE makes the Skins a more complete team? That the absence of a defender makes for a more effective defense? Are you saying that nothingness, in itself, is wholeness?
Wow... very zen, McK. Very zen.

Jason Taylor leaving doesn't really leave a hole as they were the #4 Defense last year and he had very little if anything to do with it.

Now they've got 8.5 million in additional cap space!
It was a good move then and a good move now. At the time they traded for him they had 2 DE go down with season ending injuries.
Him getting his calf stomped was a freak injury...it is what it was.

Dave:
dang! in your honor, i'll correct it to just plain "hole," as in "a-hole"...this stuff didn't happen before the Washington Post cut back on the copy editing staff!
Mike C.:
interesting thoughts about the salary cap. i, however, contend that snyder's actions in every preseason since 2000 leave two possibilities:
1)it's a myth that Snyder spends more than other owners, and in reality he spends the same as everybody else, since the only reason to have a salary cap is to make sure everybody spends the same amount, but snyder's myth is a result of him just spending his money more loudly than other owners. Or,
2)the salary cap is a myth, which is what i believe, since far as i can remember only one team has ever been sanctioned for violating the cap rules. and every story i've ever read about what snyder's"capologist" does just seems like so much hokum...
