When Taylor actually outplays his rookie deal, which admittedly wasn't that good, then I think the Skins should compensate him accordingly. But if he's going to be a safety who can't cover (Sean Taylor ranked 68th vs the pass among eligible safeties...Arch ranked 66th), he doesn't deserve to be paid like one.
Full disclosure: Sean Taylor was excellent vs the run in 2006, but this might have been part of the problem. To be able to average 6.0 yards per running play against as a safety, you have to be really, really agressive in attacking the LOS, and if ST was really aggressive at the LOS, its not surprising that he was terrible over the top.

just wondering, do you know where he ranked before last season ?
