It's not that I want him back as a Dolphin...but I will lose what little respect I have left for the man if he goes to the Pat's! Zach had respect and stated he hated the Pat's and wouldn't play there. I would hope JT would do the same. Although I am not holding my breath. Go Phins!
Lol... These guys crack me up...weeks, months, whatever... In 3 weeks if JT still hasnt signed with anyone yet, Mortenson again can report he expects JT to sign with the Patriots within the next 2-3 weeks.
I expect JT to sign a deal with a team before the start of the regular season. :up:

See... I think our reports are more accurate than ESPN's... See how easy it is to be an ESPN reporter... Its like seeing black clouds in the sky and saying, I predict it will rain sometime in the next 30-60 minuutes

it wouldn't be his fault for going there. if their the only other team that wants him, and he still wants to play, it would be our fault for not taking him back. He's stated numerous times where he wants to play. I wouldn't blame him. After all... he did give us 11 years of his absolute best.

I don't know if ANY of these Jason Taylor related rumors hold water. I've noticed that throughout all of this, it's basically been Taylor who's been the one talking / trying to cut a deal with someone. Neither Miami, New England, OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER has shown any serious interest in signing him so far. What's with the delay{s}, and why all of this "cloak and dagger" approach with Taylor??...
Whatever team is interested in signing Taylor, could at least make it known to the pubic that they're working on negociating a contract with him. We've seen none of that here, or with any other team in league for that matter. I'm not sure ANYONE wants to sign Taylor at this stage in his career. Especially if he still expects to get paid more than what he's worth. It certainly appears that his little stint on TV, along with his horrible return with Washington, has left him currently unemployed....
He's hoping someone takes the bait and signs him, but right now nobody appears to be fishing...
IN TUNA WE TRUST....

If he is so great how could it possibly be that NE is the only team offering him a job.
i wonder what happened to his "acting" career.
I bet JT wants big money......If he wants to sit out the summer he should, some team will come calling in Sept or Oct when injuries hit and he could come in and play that one yr and do it all again next yr. I'm ready to go into the season without him, and if NE signs him I'm sure we will be ready for him when we play against him. I don't blame JT for signing with NE, its a business and it works both ways.
Profootball talk is reporting that JT and Patriots have a verbal agreement in place.

Let NE have him.
Is there even such a thing? Whats the point, if you both agree, just sign the contract... People are throwing out crap reports trying to get other teams to overpay for him, because neither Miami, nor the Rats want him.
“Handshake Agreement” In Place Between Pats And Jason Taylor?
Posted by Mike Florio on May 8, 2009, 10:51 a.m.
There’s a phenomenon in old-school journalism that, in this age of the never-ending news cycle, can at times be misinterpreted.
With space to fill and nothing else really happening right now for teams that don’t have minicamps this weekend, newspaper writers need to write something for placement in their newspapers. And so sometimes they’ll write news that isn’t really based on, you know, news.
But the headline will suggest that it’s, you know, news.
The content then will indicate that it’s primarily a rehashing of stuff that anyone with an Internet connection has known about for at least a week.
And so we’ve received multiple e-mails today from readers who saw the item in the Providence Journal titled “Signs Point To Jason Taylor Landing In New England” and who in their apparent excitement regarding the much-anticipated move didn’t bother to realize that there’s not really anything in the article that advances the ball or suggests that anything is going to happen any time soon.
The one new assertion we noticed in the article from Shalise Manza Young (and we really don’t intend this to be an indictment of Shalise or her well-written item — she was merely filling the space that her editor told her to fill) was that “some . . . believe” a ”handshake agreement” already is in place between the Pats and Taylor. And so we’ve opted to use that as the headline for this blurb
Regardless, it’s becoming increasingly obvious to us that Taylor plans not to put pen to paper until the season of the underwear practices has ended. The guy gave up $8.5 million from the Redskins because he didn’t want to spend 25 days of his offseason working out with the team; surely, he won’t be signing a contract for far less than $8.5 million until all mandatory and voluntary involuntary workouts have concluded.
