OK thanks for the clarification. But when it comes down to it, it's really splitting hairs when you're talking about the difference between "no contest" and a guilty plea. Either way you're sentenced as guilty, and you go down in the books as having committed the offense. In terms of the NFL's policy, I don't see any reason why they should punish Taylor any differently for a "no contest" compared to a "guilty" plea.
