Yeah Sean Taylor has no leverage at all. Case closed. Great you are a very good player. When you become great call us back and you can have that raise so you can be more of a millionaire.

Looks like we've got a lot of contract issues on the horizon

Speculation- assumption of unusual business in hopes of commensurate gains.

Re: Springs and Taylor miss OTAs

Sean was at Redskins Park a couple of weeks ago working out with the team. The guy still has 4 yrs. left on his current contract and is making almost 2.5 mil this year. What does he want? Maybe they can extend him after another year but not this year.

Re: Springs and Taylor miss OTAs

First off, even if it is a contract squabble, let Taylor take up arms against the team for all I care. He's got no leverage. He is signed with us through 2010, scheduled to make base salaries of about $1 million per year. He doesn't have any roster bonuses or workout bonuses remaining in his contract, the only money coming his way is the base salary.

So what's he going to do, hold out for 3 years? Play 6 games each season to get credit for a season played? His base salaries are subject to him being here and playing. If he doesn't play for us, he gives up his base salary. So what, you think he's going to give up his source of income for the next 3 years?

Hell no. The guy will be here when it counts, he needs to earn his money. He can throw a fit about his contract for all I care, he has no leverage, the Skins know it, and they know he'll be here.

Missing OTAs? Whoopee stinkin doo. Until he starts missing mandatory training camp, who the frick cares.

Who cares? Joe Gibbs.

Everyone who said that it won't be an issue, you are right, because Taylor will have a new deal in place before the season starts (mark my words).

Whoever thinks that he has no leverage and that he should honor the contract that he signed, welcome to the year 2007.

I agree here. Taylor abosulutely has leverage. They know it was a down year for him, besides I'm sure his contract has language about being in the Pro Bowl and such. Yes, even though he was an alternate. As far as the new contract goes, I think it will be at the end of the season although I wouldn't be totally shocked to see him get a new deal prior to.

#2 in that lineup? That is impressive although there is probably no rhyme or reason to which picture they were.

Re: Springs and Taylor miss OTAs

I think when it's all said and done, the Redskins will do right by Sean Taylor.

It wouldn't at all surprise me if he got a new deal at the end of this season.
