Jason Taylor Press Conference: Says He Hasn't Requested a Trade

I swear I've heard that somewhere before...
 
If he says he didnt request a trade he is full of ****. What do you think going to the FO and saying if there is value available to the team and he can be moved it would be fine means? Translation---TRADE ME!
 
He just trying to save the rep he has already ruined... He should just keep his mouth shut before he steps on it again.

the bottom line is he wants out.. thats it.. When he is asked if he wants to play for the Dolphins he doesnt flat out say yes, he dances around saying no by saying, I am under contract with them, I just want to win..

I think I would have more respect for him (a little since pretty much all the respect I used to feel for him is gone) if he just came out and said, "I want to be traded to a contender", instead of lying and BSing everyone and taking us for a bunch of fools
 
I don't think it's spin at all. JT is smart enough to know that he didn't have any leverage to demand a trade. He also realized that he could most damage his local rep if he got negative. Whether he prefers to leave (which IMO is likely) or prefers to stay he couldn't demand it. He realized he's nearing the end of his career so he took advantage of the opportunities he had. I think he told the team that he wouldn't back out of the dancing and that he would miss some of the mandatories for the graduation and the legal issue and the FO was pissed. He also told the team he wasn't retiring and that he planned to play one more year. I'm guessing the team tried the hard-line stance and said they would fine him for any mandatories missed. JT figured that the $100k-$150k that he would be fined could be more than made up for after he retires whether in Hollywood or in local endorsements. But it didn't make sense for him to walk away from the $7.5 mill and it didn't make sense for him to demand a trade. So I don't see any spin from JT's version. The most I could see would be for him (or most likely his agent) to try to sell the team on how it's in their best interest to trade him but it didn't make sense for him to make any demands.

It's not about denial. It's about logic. If I were in JT's shoes and I wanted a trade, I would look at the best way to accomplish it. I would look at BP's personality and realize that if I make demands he would probably dig in and spite me rather than acquiesce. The only chance I had of getting a trade would be if he just decided he didn't want me on the team.
 
I was under the impression that he had two years left on his contract that totaled about 19 million. I don't think he retires next year if that is the case.
 
I failed to understand this someone correct me if im wrong.
last Season we were 1-15 correct??

we are on the verge of trading our best player away how will that help us?? how i ask you
Jason if you want a trade stop keeping the fans guessing how will we know?? grow a pair be a man and admit it..
we wount get much for Jason hes a aging defensive lineman.
if the best we get is a 2nd round pick then id rather have him play one more season and then end the drama:scan:

Jason saying "I plan on playing only one more year" isn't exactly helping his cause for a trade.

I don't think he wanted that to be revealed (unless he really prefers to stay here). That's why he hadn't said anything to the press early on. IMO he only revealed it now b/c the press and the comments from Sparano made it look like he requested a trade. So he came clean and revealed what he said. He felt he needed to defend himself and his reputation. I don't think he'd lie about
making the trade request b/c he's somebody who hopes to make some cash from endorsements in the very near future. Being caught in a lie hurts your desirability as a pitchman much more than wanting to be on a winner does.

He was the one who said it. It came out of noone elses mouth than JT's. If he didnt want it revealed, he wouldnt have said it.

Didi you read my whole post or just stop after the first sentence? I clearly explained why he didn't want it revealed originally but would have felt the need to defend himself now.
