I am getting tired of hearing about JT trades...if JT has publicly(and by that I mean in a public place such as a press conference)made a statement that he wishes to play for someone else than fine,let him leave...but so far he hasn't done this(I imagine ESPN would at least mention it and the NFL Network would be all over it)so my guess is Parcells was speaking the truth when he said the only way Taylor would not be wearing a Fins uniform next year was if he retired.I imagine Parcells would like to keep the 6 time Pro Bowler and the best DE in the league for a bit,if nothing else to help mentor the new DEs coming to the team.
If he trades Taylor(and that is a big if)he is going to ask for a lot...and JT is worth a lot,even if he is 34 and seemingly at the twilight of his career.There simply is no one better at his position anywhere and there may not be for some time and I am pretty sure Parcells and company are aware of this,and also the fact that JT is still just as competitive as he was 5 years ago.
What I don't get is how all these Dolphin "fans"(and I am not talking about this forum)are screaming for JT to be traded and seem convinced he is desperately unhappy here.I don't buy any of it until I hear JT publicly say he wants out.Until then,this is all rumor and heresay and JT will reamain a Fin for the forseeable future.
