After much thought, I've decided that I'm with the new regime on this Jason Taylor thing despite the fact that he is my second favorite Dolphin player all-time.

The problem, I'm having with all of this is that Miami is in direct competition with EVERY franchise in the league, and it makes absolutely no business sense to let its best player go to a competitor for a mere 4th round draft pick. Why turn Jacksonville's defense into what we helped turn New England's offense into last season? 'Cause we like Taylor? 'Cause the Jags are our friends. In the immortal words of Nino Brown, "friends are friends. This is business." That's a cold, hard stance to take but the NFL is a cut-throat business.

Jason Taylor has enjoyed a long, productive, prosperous NFL career. He could retire today and be better of than 99% of the US population so I'm having a hard time feeling sorry for him. If he doesn't return Miami gains nothing and trading him to a competitor only puts them further behind the competition. I love Jason Taylor the player, but the Miami Dolphins are bigger than any one player. Therefore I say let him retire, let's close ranks and let's move forward - with or without him.
 
This line of thinking only makes sense if you think Miami can become a contender before JT retires. JT at the most has 2 years left in him, and if Miami isn't contending for playoffs in the next 2 years then it doesn't really matter what team we trade JT to, or what we get for him. You never know, a 4th round pick could turn out to be a star and in 2 years Miami would be much better off.
 
I don't understand why everyone is barking up Parcells tree? Has he publicly said anything? Has anything that Sporano or Ireland said been demeaning to Taylor? Does Parcells have to wraps his arms around Taylor while he's strutting in tights, and auditioning in Hollywood?

I think the Dolphins front office has handlded things very well. The more I hear, the more I believe this has been completely blown up by the media. Taylor has said nothing and so has the Dolphin Management. Just speculation after speculation.

No wonder taylor wants out... not exactly the type of 'drama' he is looking for.
 
You are with the new regime regarding what? JT? What have they done for you to be on their side? I'm sorry, but JT is a very respected member of this team and organization . . . and yea I wish he was here at the "voluntary" OTA's . . . but the front office could have handled his situation a "whole" lot better as well. I'm not saying to "kiss his ***" but everything from the BP not acknowledging him . . . to Wayne talking about "deserves to be traded" . . . I mean both sides really SUCK righta bout now . . . and Sparano talking about this yesterday seems like a ploy from the FO . . . to take JT's shine off from DWTS . . . and it seems very childish.

The only thing I can tell the Front office is . . . don't cut him . . . don't settle for less than what u originally asked for . . . let him retire if all else fails. I just think its very irresponsible from this FO to say he wont be a TC . . . 2 months PRIOR to it beginning. Even saying that about mini camp is premature . . . Sparano should have came out and said . . . JT will not be at the voluntary OTA's . . . period . . . we don't need to have this as a distraction . . . and that is all this front office accomplished yesterday.
 
Im with the regime. Screw JT after he lied and played us all. The other vets are in minicamps, JT isnt any more special than they are IMO. Actually, he is less special since he was part of a team and decided not to sweat and bleed next to his teammates.. Lead by example.. HAHAHA. whatta a joke
 
In my humble opinion, Miami becoming a playoff contender again before Jason Taylor retires is about as likely as one of their fourth picks turning into a star. To me it's even-steven and you have to take a stance. Contender or no contender, I want to see Miami do what's best for the franchise and not individual players. In most situations getting a 4th round draft pick is better than nothing. I just don't believe that this is one of them. Miami has been too generous with its players over the past few years. Green Bay has a better tight-end (Donald Lee) than we do. Kansas City has a better tight-end (Randy McMichael) than we do. New England's number two receiver (Wes Welker) is better than all of ours. Now we want to make Jacksonville's DE-corp better than ours for a measly 4th round pick? No I don't think so and apparently neither does Parcells. He can play here with Miami where he has a signed contract in place or he can go dancing off to Hollywood. When you're 1-15, it really doesn't matter and I'm fine with either one.

sweet and bleed at the "voluntary OTA's" . . . lets get real man . . . should he be there . . . yea . . . but people need to stop blowing this up like this is some critical piece of football that he is missing. Fact is, it was irresponsible for the head coach to come out yesterday with this news that he will miss the mini's and "as of right now" miss training camp . . . very irresponsible . . . and really feels like they are MAD that he was so successful on DWTS and wanna detract the attention from him . . . crazy as it sounds . . . that is how it appeared . . . atleast to me.

you know what I am saying man.. The rest of the team is practicing to get up to speed with the new regime, what makes JT any different.

How was it irresponsible? He had to give the media some type of update. Was it more irresponsible for JT to not fulfill his contractual obligations than it was for Sparano to give us all an update?

I doubt they were made because of his success. They were mad because while the rest of the team was practicing, their "franchise leader" was dancing around in a tutu

contractual obligation . . . this is a "voluntary OTA" . . . he does not get fined for missing this . . . and he is not obligated to attend this. This is the only thing Sparano needed to comment on. The mini's are in 2 or 3 weeks . . . when that time comes . . . he then should comment of whether JT will be there . . . if JT decides to show up . . . then Sparano looks like an *** . . . and caused an unnecessary distraction for absolutely no reason. If TC comes . . . he can comment on that . . . but all he is doing right now is trying to start some **** . . . when he needs to focus on the guys who are at the camp presently.

And the "franchise leader" is dancing around in the "offseason" . . . and he has every right to do so, I can't be mad with him for that . . . holla at me when he misses the mandatory mini's . . . and we can comment on where his priorities are . . . and if he misses TC . . . the same will apply . . .doing so in advance is still very premature.

Sprano doesn't look like an *** to me. He is basically moving on w/o JT bc he had never intention of coming back. It also looks better that Sprano says something before the media or JT says something about it himself. We are moving on without him....he knows the situation and he is dealing.

Only *** here is JT.

Your thinking is very flawed here. How does Sparano look like an *** because he is reporting what JT told him? He trusted JT to live up to what he said he was going to do, and that was rejoin the team when he was done being a dancing queen. JT is looking more like the *** IMO. JT caused the distraction, sparano is trying to biuld a franchise here and coach a team that went 1-15 the year before. Not babysit the sole call leader of the franchise.

And the "franchise leader" is dancing around in the "offseason" . . . and he has every right to do so, I can't be mad with him for that . . . holla at me when he misses the mandatory mini's . . . and we can comment on where his priorities are . . . and if he misses TC . . . the same will apply . . .doing so in advance is still very premature

Yes, he does have every right to do so, but how do you think all the other vets who are tryng to learn a new system with a new coaching staff feel about their sole called "leader" dancing like a fairy and not joining them on the field. Is that how you view a leadership role? Getting 5 months off for vacation, and then demanding that you are going to take more regardless of what your employer thinks about it... Thats pretty irresponible

Last I heard JT is gonna be a total noshow for the entire training camp. So much for his contractual obligations.
 
ok everyone look,i can appreciate and respect everything Jason Taylor has done to help the Dolphins win&be successful as far as his part is concerned. he's been through 4 coaching changes and their systems and however many FO changes,and now a 5th one since he's been with us. while i agree that the offseason is these players time to do as they wish to relax,and JT did the DWTS thing,that's over with. IMO,he now needs to get his a$$ back to Miami to help this new regime with these rookies&younger players,but being how we now have him saying he's not going to show up until he's traded,i say trade him then to whatever team will give us the best deal for him,and if none do,well,like some of you have said..sit him and slap fines on him until it starts hurting his bank account...either way,i'm tired of this whole JT drama,he's not anymore special than the other vets we have here and who're at these camps trying to help our team get better. anyways,i just wanted to throw that out there as my 2 cents worth.

Really, when did u hear that? Ohhh . . u mean when Sparano said "As of right now" he will not attend training camp? If JT told him that he is holding out . . . why not just come out and say "I spoke with Jason, and he has advised me that he will not attend any Dolphins training camp activities and wants to be traded, he no longer wants to be a Miami Dolphin" . . . this is exactly what I am talking about . . . . what is with all this half talk that people spit.

Sparano should have just commented on the "voluntary" OTA's . . . and said "Jason will not be attending the OTA's this week" and leave it like that, Sparano didn't answer any questions . . . he just caused more speculation. Jason has said that he is a MIami Dolphin and that he plans to play for the team . . . so who am I to believe? I'm not going to discredit what he has said to go along with what Sparano said yesterday. Hey now maybe JT is full of crap and is misleading everybody also . . . I'm not denying that as a possibility . . . but as of right now . . . nothing has been answered IMO . . . and all this "regime" did was cause more distraction and speculation yesterday.
