if a prime LT was a free agent right now, and we knew all his baggage (that we didn't necessarily know at the time), and we had the cap space to sign him, whether Schoen would do it, or if Mara would veto it.

I dobt know that an LT in his prime with all the same extras is in the league very long for the off field stuff.

That man is arguably the best football player to ever play the game.....of course you sign him...is that even a question?

The off field things LT was into would fly today. The internet and social media has created an entirely different perspective into the personal lives of athletes. If that’s better or worse is debatable…

would be social media and whatever he was into being exposed. If that was in the clear, there are no issues. He was a cross generational talent. He would be the best player in the league today.

Do the under age girl arrests sit well with you?
I may be "misremembering", but wasn't it one time and with a hooker who lied about her age?
We don't even need to delve into the off-field stuff
Falling asleep in team meetings would've caused enough friction that ultimately, he probably would've forced his way off the team.
For better or worse, Parcells was willing to let LT have it his own way, because he recognized his talent level. Coughlin would've seen his talent level too, but nobody can possibly think Colonel Tom would have allowed Taylor to get away with sleeping through meetings.
LT's drug of choice was cocaine and cocaine does not improve
performance. A player high on cocaine thinks they're all-world, but in fact their performance is negatively impacted. LT's performance in his later years indicates as much.

Depends on who you believe. Apparently Burress got away with a lot that they never let slip out while he was on the team.

I’ll always love Burress for what he did for the team in 2007, but I still hate him at the same time for 2008. We would have been back to back champs.

Yep, little gets hidden nowadays.

Lawrence Taylor in the building on the same day Kayvon Thibodeaux is expected to arrive for rookie camp.
Giants sent this photo out earlier, so not sure if LT and KT crossed paths.
Respect for the past, but not stuck in it - that's what this says to me.

Not sure if that story is true, but it still makes me laugh.
