He signed a 7 year deal just nine months ago and now his new agent - is this his third agent or his fourth? - has talked with the Skins about a new contract. The team is not allowed yo redo a rookie deal for one year after it was signed, so this story could roll on through the middle of training camp. But that won't be a distraction.

What I would love to know from the "hardline tough-guys" here on The Warpathy is this:

If Taylor is disgruntled with his contract and something is NOT worked out and he asks to be released/traded, should the Skins:


a. Threaten to suspend him and make him watch the games on a 12-inch screen black-and-white TV?

b. Wait until after the March 1 "witching hour" and then trade him for another safety in the league whose contract is expiring and wants a humongous deal?

c. Send out stories to the press about how he was not all that well liked in the locker room?

d. Find a way to block any calls from Champ Bailey to his cell phone?


Stand by folks, this story has only just begun...
