Contrary to previous reports, it would appear that Jason Taylor may be doing his sack dance in Miami after all.
Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said his team had pursued a deal, but the Dolphins took Taylor off the trading block. He said they had a price in mind and no one was interested in meeting that price, that they like the guy and were going to keep him.

Maybe Parcells did want a first round pick and no one would give it for Taylor.

Taylor is worth a 1st round pick...so he is better staying...especially since they did not draft Long or Dorsey.

We hear differently here in Carolina. Jason's agent met with the Panthers this afternoon for preliminary talks.

See this stuff with Taylor is getting really confusing. He and Bill are on the outs obviously. For a while he made it sound like he was having more fun on Dancing with the Stars. But then on the last couple of shows he repeatedly said "I'm still a football player" (He and his partner came in second. There was no way anyone was going to beat the Olympic ice skating champ. She was good. He was too tall)
I hear he wants to stay with the Dolphins, I hear he doesnt want to stay with the Dolphins.The Dolphins kept saying he wasnt going anywhere If his agent is meeting with the Panthers, guess he isnt going to stay.
If he comes to the Panthers, you've got yourself a sackmaster.

Just imagine Peppers on one side Taylor on the other... that would be fascinating.

Now I just read the Chargers are interested in him too.

So are the Jags and Bucs, the Bucs were close on the draft day, and the Jags were close to working out a deal last week. I think Jacksonville and San Diego would be good fits for him. No disrespect to your Panthers Stoney, but they are from a contender.

Hey everyone....I'm new to this site but I'm a huge Dolfan and Canes fan. Born and raised in Miami and also a Canes Alumnus. I can tell you that ever since the whole Jason Taylor saga began, the Miami Herald has been talking about Jacksonville being interested. Which tells me he won't be going there. LOL

Hes made a commitment to the fins and he should stick by it. And if your not going to stick by it, then get the hell out of here. Plain n simple.

Welcome to the forum. What do people in Miami say about Taylor? Are they angry that he wants out?
How did they feel about his stint on Dancing with the Stars?

The Dolphins were going to dump him first. I still cant figure out why players are expected to have more honor in regard to their contract than the teams do.

The Carolina Panthers want him... and they don't have a remote chance of facing the Dolphins. So it won't bite them to trade him to Carolina.

I really like your idea of Peppers on one side and Jason on the other. Jason would bring some leadership there and maybe get Peppers stirred up again.

Well, I think most people here are disappointed that he may be leaving. As we were when Zach Thomas bolted town. But at the same time, we understand the situation on both players and that we're in a rebuilding stage. I think most people here believe both Zach and Jason deserve better. Having said that, the Fins tried dealing JT during the draft. That's been confirmed and it's no secret. I just think that Parcells believes he's worth keeping if they can't get what they want for him. And thats where we are now. Parcells shopped him....didn't like the offers and now expects to have a football player and not a dancer. It's that simple. If the right deal came along he would make it.

Thomas didnt exactly bolt, he got cut.
Its hard to know what Parcells thinks. It would appear this little thing between him and Taylor has gotten blown way out of proportion. Parcells told Sparano to say that Taylor wouldnt be attending OTAs, minicamp or training camp, even though its usually the player that announces that first. Taylor has not confirmed it.
No one is going to give him a first round pick for Taylor.
So what does Parcells have in mind then? I dont get it.
