Taylor will also be a FA at the end of this year and if the Bears and DA say we'll pay you like an outside CB then unless we plan on playing him outside and paying him like it we're up sheets creek.
Taylor is a cross-road. He either lives up to his talent this year or he doesn't get paid. I have no problem paying him if he breaks out and if he doesn't, his price might be reasonable. At any rate, I don't know if Staley sees him as a Slot or a boundary CB. I frankly think that these days a Slot is just as valuable as an outside CB for teams that don't just play press man on the outside all the time.
