I agree. I cited that earlier in this thread with McGlinchey and Wirfs. They're probably looking at $96M+ overall for the long haul. Which makes sense. Those guys are former first round picks, lived up to the hype, played on Superbowl caliber rosters, elite across the board, etc. 

Taylor's not one of those guys and if he's getting $10M per year I am willing to bet it's a short term contract and not a long haul deal. Would probably be a two year deal at the most by a team looking to push deep into the play-offs. 

Which is risky as a player because if you get injured during that two year contract and you're free to walk after that your value could take a massive [BLEEP]. 

I don't see any team offering him a four year deal worth close to or more than $40M though. That's just too much for a guy that's shown you "some" improvement after three years of stinking it up and also resulting in this team having to take a chance on Walker Little with a 2nd RD pick just two years ago.

Trevor makes every single offensive lineman look better than they actually are.

I'm ok moving on from Taylor but I also agree with others that Little looks far better at LT which leaves us with an odd situation in Robinson.

I also think we all need to be realistic. They are going to resign some of their own and then be bargain shopping most likely. So all these really good players that some people want will not be coming here because other teams have way more cash to throw at them.
