Taylor was scheduled to make $8.5 million this season, but the team needed the cap room to put in the six-year, $54 million contract signed last week by cornerback DeAngelo Hall. According to a source, Taylor was asked by the Redskins to be part of 75 percent of the offseason workouts. That would require him to be at Redskins part eight of the 13 weeks of the offseason program three days a week,
Family took precedence over the money.
With three children, Taylor, who has a home in the Miami area, opted not to agree to the workout provisions. The team was willing to keep his restructured salary at $8.5 million, but his desire to be with his family in the offseason was more important in his life.
Taylor came to the Redskins from the Dolphins for a second-round choice in 2009 and s sixth-rounder in 2010.
The 34-year-old Taylor has 120.5 career sacks. He's been to the Pro Bowl six times during his Dolphins career.
Despite his departure from the Dolphins, Taylor is still interested in continuing his NFL career.
but if bb is hell bent on infusing youth in our team then he may actually shy away from taylor esp if he costs this high (8.5 mill $)
That was a waste of $$ last year.
also if taylor wants seperate clauses on off season workouts etc, BB wouldnt want to effect that with the team concept and offering special concession even before he has played a down for the team . these are some what potential issues to him coming here
