Taylor Reports to OTAs

[GoSkins!]

I'm just glad he is there. Maybe he decided that he likes th idea of there being a new defensive system in place for him. More likely, Rosenhaus told him it will be harder to get a fat new contract for a guy that doesn't do anymore than the bare minimum at practices.

The fact is that Taylor will deserve a huge contract if he can prove that he has matured and becomes a leader at Redskin's park as well as on the field. Sean being there is good for everyone, especially him.

Went further to say he had a seven year deal with the Skins and everyone was real excited to be back and ready to get to work. He was glad to be back with the guys, maybe the young buck is growing up. It sure was nice to see him on the field. I get the feeling he will not be any problem or distraction at all, more of a good team mate that want's to get us where we want to go. ALL THE WAY!

I'm glad you've also noticed this. Taylor has come a longway from his thuggin days in Miami. I'm not sure if yall saw him on the probowl special when he participated in the obstacle course but he was interacting with all the other players and seemed to be having fun which is far from how he was when he entered the league. He has matured alot and there is no doubt in my mind he in Landry are gonna be boys before long. Another thing that I think has been ignored is Drew. I guarantee he was called during this "holdout" and told a contract was imminent and to get Sean's ass to camp and had no problem doing just that. I love the fact that the baddest agent on the planet is boys with Dannyboy and from what I have seen a Redskin at heart.

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'm not letting you off the hook on this one Grim.

Believe it or not, I am happy to be wrong on this. That being said, it is hard for me to believe that this is the last word on his contract especially since it has been reported that they have had discussions about an extension before. My guess is that they must have a verbal agreement that he will get paid down the road (similar to what they did with Jansen). I heard Taylor on 980 and he seemed very confident and happy. Great! Now I would also argue that he allows some of this stuff to fester because he does not get in front of the media enough. When I have seen or heard him on interviews he seems like a very likeable guy.

This situation is very un-Rosenhaus. Maybe the good relationship with Snyder is helping the Redskins in this situation? However, I thought after the Walker injury, he would never let his clients play when they are grossly underpaid. I think that Snyder, Rosenhaus, Taylor and everyone on this site knows that he is underpaid right now.

Why on Earth would it be hard to believe you would be happy to be wrong on this? You are a Redskins fan. Of course you are happy.

I love how PFT posts a story about how its "sources" tell them that Taylor isn't upset with his contract a mere 2 hours or so after Redskins.com posted the interview with ST. They always post stories after some other news outlet has broken the story and then post a story in which they say that they are basing their claims on their "sources."

PS - I have major inside sources....(whispering) I subscribe to ESPN Insider and troll through SI.com every day.

You guys are much better in this area of the forums that I mostly read up here but I did want to add that ST will be a beast this year with the help of Landry.

Those two guys will make NFL mothers cry. period

Its great to see that in taylor's interview he denied any problems with his contract... That is all just a media rumor.

It further demonstrates why we shouldn't put a great deal of stock in what we read. We all have minds of our own, and can use them to form our opinions on most issues without much outside influence.

Listning to Taylor's interview, I sense a bit more maturity in his expression and willingness to talk with the media. I hope this is a sign of things to come.

I'll say this one last thing about the whole Taylor thing. I watched his interview a couple of times and his responses to the questions. The thing that impressed me the most is that publicly he's saying all the right things. Whether he means them or not is not really the point as far as I'm concerned. But the fact that he's learning how to play the game and not allowing media rumors to ruffle his feathers shows maturity on his part.

[MTK]

He seems to be pretty genuine to me.

He also seems looser and more at ease than in the past. Maybe he's finally opening up?

[diehardskin2982]

I heard on 980 that he just wanted to be home for his daughter's b-day who turned 1... I see nothing wrong with that.

No problem just give your boss the heads up.
