Sean Taylor wants to redo his deal already...

Some kid from TN was trying to tell me I was northern... BAH.

Just to go off topic for a second if I may, you all remember that whole thing about ST saying he only knew how to sing the alphabet and some of us calling him a "meathead"?

Well maybe so, but Taylor's got nothing on O's pitcher Eric Dubose:

From the Baltimore Sun-"When instructed to recite the alphabet, DuBose allegedly said, "I'm from Alabama, and they have a different alphabet."

Does anyone else think ST was just being a wise ass when he said he could only sing the alphabet??

I dunno. Judging by his on-field personality, I would say YES. BUT, I read that he's normally a loner and really quiet kid off the field.

Well - the only way I can remember my alphabets is to do a little song in my head. Doesn't mean I tell anyone, I just sing it but slow it down to a speak!

But yes, I think he was being a wise ass.

This doesn't come as a surprise at all.

7 years, $18M?? C'mon, the guy got raked over the coals. He was the #5 overall pick, sure with incentives the deal looks alot better, but players just aren't interested in incentives. They want guaranteed money, as much of it as possible.

Sure some of it is his fault, he signed a crappy deal, but that's what you hire agents for. I really can't believe he didn't go with Rosenhaus in the first place, he's like the official Miami agent. Rosenhaus and Snyder are on pretty good terms, I won't be suprised to see them work something out in the summer.


I guess a mans word is not worth anythings these days! This guys been in trouble and wants more money? How about showing up playing like a star and get in to a few Pro Bowls before this shit starts up!!!!! :headbange This is why I didn't want this guy a trouble maker that will get DUI's or kicking his girlfriends ass or something else! Let me know when the first player comes forward and wants to give money back because Dan S gave him to much or he wasn't worth what he is being payed! I can see it's not about the ring anymore....at ALL

Correct, get it in writing.

Sean Taylor was a victim of circumstance and the media's willingness to vilify anyone connected to the Redskins. I love that ST is a bad boy, He's worth every penny.

Ok, a young (21 years old) guy got in a little trouble....that NEVER happens! Plus, wasn't he later CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES...oh yeah, he was. Why is he so horrible? This ain't the Ravens!

We all knew this was gonna happen as soon as he fired his agent and hired Rosenhaus last year. I don't know if they'll redo it this year due to cap constraints, but I bet they will by the 2006 season. He is a star in the making and he should have a contract that will keep him here for a long while.

And I also love that Taylor is a bad boy or a "thug"....ON the field that is!!

I dunno. Judging by his on-field personality, I would say YES. BUT, I read that he's normally a loner and really quiet kid off the field.

Yes, a real quiet kid unless he goes to a Garnder birthday party......then he becomes the life of that party.............. :party-smi

And he was bangin' L. Cole's lady-friend. Man I hope Sean Taylor got the better end of that deal after the way Coles did us.

Seeing as how Coles gave testimony in favor of ST in his dui case, i dont think theres too much bad blood there. And Taylor did get a crap deal... not because of the money but the length of the deal. Most rookie deals go for 3-4 yrs tops, and he signed on at 7. Seven years is a long developmental period to see what kind of player you can become in the NFL, and seeing as how hes come from an uncertain rookie, to one of the top safeties in the league in one, i'd say he probably deserves a break.
