Re: Jason Taylor situation heats up considerably: no workouts, minicamp, or training
That makes absolutley no sense to me.
Jason Taylor agreed to sign a contract with the dolphins. That contract specified what he would be paid, what he was agreeing that he would do, and included the reality that the team could terminate it at any time. THAT is what they agreed to. Now you want to say the team cutting players as is their right under the contract should allow another player to break his agreement in the contract? That is bizarre. The contract doesnt guarantee employment. It does bind the player to employment if the team wants him, and the player has agreed (given his word) that he will do everything the contract says he will. How does that justify taylor saying FU Im not showing up?
This is akin to your coworker being fired for looking at porn on the internet all day (or even simply because he was bad at his job and they found someone better) so you decide that you dont have to show up for work if you dont want to. His employment agreement included not looking at porn or only being employed if he did a good job. The company firing him for not being good enough, which is what the contract says the have the RIGHT to do, doesnt make it ok for you to violate your contract.
I just dont understand how it is so easy for people to think that its OK for Jason Taylor to fail to do what he has been paid millions of dollars to do, when he agreed to do it.
The Dolphins said "we willpay you $15million dollars, or whatever, but you are agreeing you will among other things report to camp" Taylor took the $15,000,000, or whatever, then decided HIS PART OF THE BARGAIN was his choice to honor or not.
WHY DOESNT THAT BOTHER MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME?
The dolphins were pretty good in the early Taylor years, they had madison, surtain, and Thomas in their prime, their D was insane. Still they didnt win anything, and the franchise degraded rapidly.
You talk about commitment thats funny theres probably no player in the league that has been more committed than Taylor to the fish. Why should Taylor be committed to a company after 10 plus years who dont produce? That is moronic. He is not obligated to live or die as a fish, players get traded and cut all the time. What do you say when a company (aka a football franchise) signs a player to a big long term contract then cuts their *** before the deal is up? The dolphins have done this to thousands of players but you defend them like they are mount olympus or something?
Taylor deserves a shot at a ring, its what he does as a human being. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to reach the pinnacle of what you do in life.
