Miami Dolphins DE Jason Taylor told reporters yesterday that he will consider retiring at the end of the season. Taylor is 32, and this season is widely considered to be one of the top candidates for Defensive Player of the Year honors. Does this retirement talk surprise anyone else?

What the heck?...does he think he is Tiki Barber or something?

As much as I want him back for another year, I don't know how much more he could take (at least, in Miami).

This season took a toll of three seasons on all these veterans both physically and emotionally, I believe.

Maybe it's just a ploy to get more money from the Dolphins.

How is his health? Has he been often injured lately?
