This is the disposition I had been both waiting and hoping for. "Good News". There's a lot of releived minds around Redskin Park as well as in the community. The only people who do not like this outcome are the one's who have to play against him. While I hate to rush time, I can't wait to see ST & AA together at the safety position. AWSOME

Will Sean have to miss any games as a punishment from the league?

Great news! As for the other Taylor (Jacobs), we can afford to keep him around another year. Thrash is no better a WR and although people still believe he's valuable in the return game there were noticeably some mistakes he made fielding punts which, by the way Randle El now does.

I like how they reference Taylor's father in the very last sentence of the article: "[Taylor's] father, Pedro Taylor, is chief of police in Florida City, Fla."
I'm sure the fact that his father is a police chief had nothing to do with anything. ;)

No way that Sean misses any games due to any of this. The charges have basically been dropped. If there is no case and no admitance of guilt, then why would there be any punishment from the league?

Don't be so quick to say that. I myself don't see how they can cuz he has not been convicted of a crime nor has he admitted to one. But as it was stated on yahoo,
"The NFL could still impose a fine or suspend Taylor for one or more games, Sharpstein said, but league officials did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment. The Redskins also declined comment but have publicly supported Taylor in the past."

I guess the NFL "could" do a lot of things to Sean, but I just don't think there is any precedent for them to do that. Most of the other times that guys get fined and suspended, it is for things that they have messed up with the league. This is a case outside of the league that has basically been dropped. If you are the league what do you say when you impose a penalty on Sean? "Well he was almost guilty, so we are suspending him for 2 games." I mean there is some punshment already with the whole $1000 having to be given to the schools that were mentioned. Kind of like community service.

Exactly. Where in the rules does it say that the NFL will impose a fine and/or suspend a player for a certain number of games for being accused of a crime, even after charges are dropped?
