According to the Florida Times Union, the Miami Dolphins are only willing to part with defensive end Jason Taylor in exchange for a first round draft pick.
Parcells is unhappy that Taylor is skipping the offseason program to, among other things, perform on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. And even though Taylor likely will retire before the Dolphins become a contender, Parcells won’t trade him unless he receives a first-round pick.
Nobody is going to give up a first-round pick for a 34-year-old defensive lineman. So Parcells’ stance is that Taylor will play for the Dolphins or retire.
As the article notes, it’s highly doubtful any team parts with a first rounder in exchange for Taylor. He’s still very productive, but at his age, a team would be crazy to part with a first round pick for a guy who won’t be in the league much longer.
