Jason Taylor: I Regret Not Signing With Coach Belichick

[Brady'sButtBoy]

On PFT this evening while discussing the Patriots and the Seahawks and their respective coaches, Taylor said he "regrets not signing with coach Belichick" when he was a free agent. A super star talent like Taylor and he never made it to a SB. You could see there was a bit of humble pie in his expression as if the money he got elsewhere made little difference now when he sees how important it would have been to play in the 'big game.' Feeling is mutual Jason - I regret you never played for the Pats.

Future star FA's - are you listening?

I always respected Taylor, great player, I wish he would've signed with us.

We tried to tell ya Jason. I'll bet Tony Gonzalez feels the same way.

I would have loved to have Taylor on this team if only so he would not keep sacking Brady

Should be a HOF and a classy guy.

 

[chasa]

at least hes got that dancing with the stars money.

 

[zipster9]

Patriots kept courting him, and he refuses. Now he says he wishes .... bah bah bah...

You had 2 chances (or more) to join. Stop crying.

Eh! I think it is Super Bowl week fodder. He had multiple chances to sign with the Patriots. First, he wanted to go back to Miami even after they traded him away. Then he wanted to play for Rex Ryan. Then the Pats didn't want him and he finished his career in Miami.

I wanted the Pats to sign him at one point, but he clearly didn't want to play here.

Gonzalez I thought was such a good fit for Atlanta, but Mike Smith could not lead ants to a sugar hill.

He would have been a good fit here too. When he left KC, I think the Pats were a little short on TE's. He played in a couple of playoff games in Atlanta but did he ever play in the SB?

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

We regret it too. It would have been glorious.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Oh well, I think these guys are thinking that way because they see what use the Pats are making of these free agents -- such as Revis, Lafell, Blount, etc.

Luckily for Blount and the Pats he came back to New England with open arms after he was dropped by Pittsburgh. Steelers fans feel bitter that they let him go and now he is thriving in the postseason for us!!

Steelers fans react to Blount prospering with Pats:

I always respected Taylor, great player, I wish he would've signed with us.

Cerebral player like himself would've thrived under BB - hindsight is 20/20, Jason..

 

[Deus Irae]

Too bad
So sad

Bye bye

We tried to tell ya Jason. I'll bet Tony Gonzalez feels the same way.

Not yet, He's still infatuated with the Denver Broncos...but eventually he will!

 

[memento]

Sometimes the Pats propel a Darelle Revis or a Randy Moss, othertimes we have an Adalius Thomas or Chad Ochocinco. Success and Super Bowls aren't guaranteed.

It would have been fun to see Taylor on the Pats. I'm glad he's speaking up for us now.

 

[dannydyn]

give it a couple of years, and you'll hear the same tune from Mike Wallace as well...

 

[Sicilian]

If Jason Taylor had played for the Pats all those years instead of against them, Matt Light might be considered the best LT of all time. (half joking)

 

[Kontradiction]

Sorry, Jason. You had numerous opportunities. Life's a ***** and then you die.

I was shocked that he didn't sign with the Patriots. He and Belichick seemed to have such a good relationship.
