I remember Phil being completely miscast as a 34 DE kind of like Corey Williams was when Phillip traded for him.
His ass is on the line this year. It is put up or shut up, and will come down to camp performance. As it should be.

Phil Taylor is a prime cut candidate
His contract is fully guaranteed this year, so that makes no sense unless you don't think he is good enough to make the team outright.

He has to make the team outright, but it isn't a given. They will eat his contract because they can afford to and have the room.
This is what competition is all about under Pett and his staff.

Well lets hope Phil shows up ready to compete this year......he was the "only" one to fail the conditioning test last year and, now, he has some serious competition ahead if he wants to keep his job....
I definitely dont see the Browns eating his contract though.....Phil has trade value, so if they feel he wont make the roster, I see him being traded for whatever we can get.....(but I really expect him to make the team and play well, as long as he stays healthy)

Here is a really good site on salary cap implications http://overthecap.com/calculator/cleveland-browns/ .
Phillip is sitting pretty and our new Gerard Warren apparently. His salary is at $5,477,000. If he is cut, it all goes to dead money and we get nothing gained toward the cap.
He will have to be Jabba the Hut in order for them to cut him. I still think he should be motivated though. Drafting Shelton is almost a direct smack in the nads to him I would think. Sure, they let Rubin walk, but drafting Shelton pretty much says "we don't trust you Phillip".
If he is in shape and has his game face on, Shelton and he could make a devastating pair in 43 sets and they could also spell each other in 34 rotations. Taylor is probably best playing no more than 60% of the snaps anyway to be effective. For Christ sake leave him off of 34 DE though, that was a bad experiment right there. Can't be a turtle and play 34 DE. No way, no how.

Does he now?
Does he now?
Id think so.....maybe not much, but gotta think there are a number of teams that would want him and might give us something....(as opposed to just cutting him).....maybe not.....
Personally hoping he sticks and returns to form.....

That would also include absorbing his salary in a trade.
Still of the belief he has trade value?

The DL isn't the only place where 2 deep isn't too deep.
