Jason Taylor still isn’t a happy camper. The Dolphins’ defensive end has officially asked the team to trade him and he will not report to OTA’s (Organized Team Activities).
Taylor’s thinking is simple: He wants to play for a winner and he doesn’t think the Dolphins are that team. The Dolphins, Taylor believes, are in a rebuilding mode and that doesn’t fit his agenda, which at 33 years old, is to win a championship.
So Taylor ain’t showing. He wants out. And he wants out now. He wants to play football, just not for the Dolphins. This is the proverbial tip of the iceberg, people.
As I’ve been stating to a chorus of accusations that I sensationalize, the situation promises to get very ugly. Uglier than it already is.
If Taylor isn’t traded before the season in September, don’t be surprised if he threatens to retire.
The Dolphins should just bite the bullet and deal Taylor. Obviously he’s not happy and this isn’t a team ready to win now, so why not get whatever they can for an aging, yet still productive player? They’re not going to get a first rounder like they reportedly wanted in April, but maybe they can swing a mid round pick from a team in desperate need of a pass rusher.
