Jason Taylor to re-sign with the Dolphins

My problem with Taylor is that since the beginning (as it appears now) he didn't want to come here. If he was so "loyal" to the Dolphins, he should've sucked it up and stay with the Dolphins. The Redskins didn't want to re-structure his salary and were willing to pay him 8 mil, even after the terrible season he had due to injuries, yet he still cried b/c the team wanted him to show up for camp.

Are you the same people who criticized his lack of production even though he was hurt and not a true 4-3 end? Moving him to Strongside backer wouldn't have worked either. It was obvious that he was not going to live up to his contract here.

I never criticized his lack of production. Like I said, if he was loyal to Miami he should've stayed there. If not, he should've sucked it up, (get paid 8 mil, poor guy), and make it to training camp (which he was being paid for!)

If he was such a warrior, he should've handled Parcells ignoring him. And if was such a "character" guy, maybe he should've done what people always criticize players for not doing, which is to fulfill his contract.

People here complaint SO much about the FO, yet in my eyes, here's a player that the front office paid a lot of for, had the misfortune of having a plagued-riden year, and he didn't work out because he wasn't happy. Please, complain about getting a bust like Archuleta or a nut-case like Brandon Lloyd. I wanted Jason Taylor here this year, because I thought he had it in him to have a rebound this year when healthy. Well turns out he wasn't happy and he was cut. So screw him.

Oh yeah, and the next person that mentions the overused line "the Redskins got schooled by Parcells", don't forget to add that Parcells also schooled Jason Taylor.
