Parcells insists Dolphins aren't shopping Taylor
Have to admit, I did have my hopes up. But it's now time to move away from rumors and focus more on speculation. Tis the season...
Bill Parcells says Jason Taylor isn't going anywhere. An Internet report that the Miami Dolphins want to trade Taylor before April's NFL Draft is "totally untrue," Parcells told The Palm Beach Post on Sunday.
"He's going to play for us, unless he decides to retire," Parcells said by cellphone during the sixth inning of an exhibition game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins in Jupiter. "It's just irresponsible journalism."
No one was more surprised than Taylor by the report Saturday night by Yahoo Sports that he had become trade bait.
"That's not what the team told him," said a source close to Taylor.
Parcells, the head of football operations, said the Dolphins have never told another team that Taylor, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, is on the trading block.
"How would I know how it started? I didn't make this stuff up," Parcells said
"All I'm telling you is I know the facts - and it's totally untrue."
