Jason Taylor update/thoughts - New England Patriots Forums

Ice_Ice_Brady · 04-01-2009, 04:08 PM

Just wanted to post an update based on google news searches. Unfortunately my laptop crashed and my iPhone does not allow me to copy urls.

Well I just clicked the link about draft pick forfeitures and was led to a wikipedia entry for April Fools day. LOL. I really got had on that one. Well, mods can merge the rest of this thread if they want, as that was the juicy part, and a good hoax.

2. According to Don Banks yesterday, there is a 70% chance Taylor ends up in New England.

3. The "insider" that posted the rumor about JT signing with the Pats has posted numerous times on the dolphins forum has never previously posted inside information. Two days ago there was also a rumor tha Taylor was completing a deal with the Pats.

4. Robert Kraft reiterated today that Jason Taylor will be a Patriot if he wants to be.

If this is true it is really good news for the Pats and severely weakens Parcells' interest in Taylor..

This isn't breaking news. It is cutting edge ignorance of the NFL.

Taylor didn't bolt. The Redskins cut him.

The Skins got the services of Taylor and then they cut him. They Skins get nothing.

Does the name Doug Gabriel mean anything to you?

I feel totally ignorant - what Dolphin forum had the rumor of him signing here ? That's the first I've heard of that.

There's a post on rotoworld quoting channing crowder saying he's been fishing with Taylor and would love him back. The guy from rotoworld said taylors hinted he doesn't wanna play in ne.

I really don't care if be comes here or not I'd rather have a young rookie over him.

MORE ON JASON TAYLOR: Jason Taylor said he was flattered to hear comments from Patriots owner Robert Kraft that it was up to Taylor himself if he wanted to play for New England. But according to one of Taylor's former teammates, Taylor's heart remains in South Florida. "I went fishing with J.T. two weeks ago; he wants to be a Dolphin," linebacker Channing Crowder told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Taylor may want to be a Dolphin but . . .

The National Football Post | Diner Morning News: Cutler Watch Day 2

"The problem Jason Taylor is having finding work at his price is his tape from last year. He did not play at a high level, even before he was injured, and there clearly a “buyer beware” sign hanging around his neck. My sources at the Fins say they don’t seem to be excited about bringing Taylor back at any price."

Channing Crowder seems to think Taylor wants to return to Miami:

Granted I don't believe any unsubstatiated rumor or what two players say to each other over some beers and fishing until I actually see some proof that things are progressing in that direction. My guess is that Taylor will play both teams off each other to get the best deal.
