His contract is for a lot more money than I will make in my lifetime, but he stood to make less than some people drafted after him and that is an ego-bruise. Most pro athletes can't take ego-bruises very well; I suspect that Sean Taylor is very similar to his compatriots in that dimension.

I'll bet he doesn't stand to make any less money than any other safety taken after him though. I'm just saying, something has to be said for the fact that he's a safety and not a TE, WR, RB, QB or any other position that typically warrants a huge contract. I'm one of the few that still isn't convinced he got as terrible a deal as people like to claim.
Putting that aside, however, I absolutely agree that he's not happy with his contract anymore (mostly because he already got the most favorable portion of that contract paid to him in guaranteed, up-front money), and if not for his recent "legal issues", I would have fully expected a camp holdout.
