And you're guaranteeing that Jason is going to have a garbage year? You're that tight with him that he told you that? Maybe you should convince him to retire then.

Yea I must be what you call "psychic" because I was pissed as hell the moment we made this trade.
Call me "psychic that I thought a 34 year old DE who spent his whole off season promoting his celebrity status might not work out.
Call me "psychic" that I didn't think a player who was traded 3 weeks before our first game would be an instant impact.
Call me "psychic" that I was very unhappy that our largest DE was 250lbs.
Call me "psychic" that I was uncomfortable with the fact that Parcells wanted to get rid of him, and not even for a 1st rounder.

Hey and you know what, since I'm apparently "psychic" I will magically predict that a man who just sucked the previous season, has no loyalty to his team, is old as dirt, is going to retire next season and who is unwilling to take a paycut will not deliver on the field? If it was about anything but the money for Taylor at this point he would recognize that he is getting extremely overpaid and take the cut to help out his team. Seriously, If it's not worth it for him to play for 6 million, when he is still worth less, it's clearly all about the money. When a player doesnt give a shit in his final season, he will suck. Period.

Oh and BTW, I told him to retire now, but he said back to me that 8.5 mil in easy money was worth one more season...but no less.
