The Miami Dolphins (now informally called “Bill Parcells” for the foreseeable future) want Jason Taylor to be a part of their team next year. Jason Taylor, however, does not want to be a part of the Miami Dolphins.
Taylor, the Dolphins’ best and highest-profile player, would like out of Miami, according to two sources. But those and other sources say Taylor knows he has no choice but to play for Miami if the team decides not to hang the exit sign on his locker.
The call, simply, is not Taylor’s to make.Fact is Parcells vehemently has denied a report suggesting the sides had ”graciously agreed to part ways,” insisting the only way Taylor doesn’t play for the Dolphins is if he retires.
Taylor’s response to that stance has been to say nothing because he doesn’t want to anger or embarrass the Dolphins.
I feel for Taylor. While he should honor the two-years left on his contract, the guy has always been a competitor and he sees his NFL career winding down. He wants to play for a winner and he should get the chance. I can also see Parcells standpoint on the situation though, too. The Tuna is trying to build a winner and simply put, Taylor makes Team Parcells a better team. Should be interesting to see how this one plays out.
