Jason Taylor and The Miami Dolphins- The end of the road?

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

I really think Jason has played his last game in a Dolphins uniform. Since AP - MIAMI - The fief between Jason Taylor and Bill Parcells stepped up Wednesday, so it is likely that the six times Pro Bowl defensive end has played his last game for the Miami Dolphins. Coach Tony Sparano said Taylor is not expected to take part in any team activities through training camp. *****

Following a voluntary team practice Wednesday - with only missing Taylor - Sparano marked the Dolphins are willing to go through without their top defender. “I am delighted to know this. We have received information, and that's important,” said Sparano. “I know that Jason will not be in any minicamps, and now I know that Jason will not be at training camp. ” So that's what we know. Jason is a player under contract with the Miami Dolphins. On Saturday it. Both sides are acutely aware of the information. That is all I am going to say about it. … We have to discuss the current players of our team at this time who have been quick his ass for nine weeks here. ” There was much speculation before last month's NFL Draft Miami who was trying to trade Taylor. I firmly believe Parcells did try to do it, but Miami (or local media) was expecting too much in exchange for veterans. It is an All-Pro defensive lineman age of 34 years, worth a first or second round draft pick? If a team picks up smartly, you can get from 5-10 years draft selection. Taylor? Three years maybe . I always thought Miami was looking for a sucker, and apparently nobody fell for it. Another thing, these training sessions to Dolphins camp OTES, and the O is in favour optional. Since when it does not mean compulsory optional? Jason Taylor has other interests, and the football season is four months away. I can understand why he prefers to be elsewhere, if not necessarily agree with her.

In any case, Taylor is not likely to be part of a rebuilt Dolphins “sometime in the future. Miami is 2 years at least if not pathetic. Being a playoff contender is even further. Taylor is unlikely to be a contributor by the time Miami plays its next playoff game. I really think Jason has played his last game in a Dolphin uniform.
