Better yet, cut Ryan Taylor, don't sign Keller, and draft someone better than both.

He was added to the team to help the ST. He does very well so if they cut him they must have someone better on ST and from what I read he grades out very high in that area.

edit- something to consider with Taylor is his cost. A 4th year vet makes a min of $730,000. Rotoworld says his salary is $645,000. I don;t know if they waive the min due to him signing a multi year contract a few years ago or what.

Rookie min is $420,000. Uncle Teddy could pinch a few pennies by releasing him and signing SFA for the min.

He's not really a good fit unless he's had hamstring problems.

I would rather see us draft someone or stick with what we have. Not nearly the glaring issue that SAFETY is!
