It's easy, and only takes a few moments.In addition to the benefit (for both sides) of him not showing up for voluntary workouts, by delaying the announcement until after the draft, the Patriots are making their draft strategy a little less obvious to other teams. That's always been a priority for Bill.
What station?
The ESPN insider rumor has nothing new. It just references the Yahoo article about Taylor
I corrected my original post. She said it is on ESPN.com, but you have to be an ESPN insider to read it.
Easy on the Red Bolded font there, Bro.
It's giving me a headache.

CSN New England had The Sporting News’ Albert Breer on their 6:30pm Sports Tonight show on Friday. He reported that there was a 70 to 80% chance that Jason Taylor will sign with the Patriots.
Yeah, I expect it as well, but I think the Pats are focused on the draft. With all those high picks, they have to be visiting a number of players.I'm still waiting for my "Jason Taylor signs with Pats" headline
Where is it?
I'm fine with Peppers or Taylor but would prefer Taylor for the reasons we all know about (compensation to team and player). I'd love to fill that OLB hole so we don't have to reach for one in the draft. I expect Taylor to be a Patriot before the draft.I'd honestly be surprised if this doesn't happen. When Taylor was oriniginally traded to Washington, it was the Patriots that were mentioned by all the people in the know, as the team he most wanted to play for. I think he'd be a great fit, especially since he'd only cost short term money. Peppers is an animal, and a better player, but he's cost a pick(s) which we could deal with, but also about $40+/- million guaranteed, in whatever contract he signs.
So I guess they weren't all that in the know, then, were they?When Taylor was oriniginally traded to Washington, it was the Patriots that were mentioned by all the people in the know, as the team he most wanted to play for.
