RUMOR: Jason Taylor and Dolphins working on a contract

I want to make this clear that this is just a rumor as of right now.  But a source that I trust tells me that the Dolphins and Jason Taylor are trying to iron out the details of a two year contract.  Talks, though, are believed to be in their preliminary stages.  Again - this, as of now, is just a rumor, but I felt like I should at least pass it on to you guys.

I also have a call into Jason Taylor's agent, Gary Wichard, and I'm waiting to hear back from him.  Hopefully I'll at least get a response from him or his office.  When I called just moments ago, I was told that he wasn't currently available.  So we'll see if this actually leads anywhere.

If I do hear anything else, I will pass it along. 

Just to reiterate, a source tells me that the Dolphins and Jason Taylor are in preliminary talks on a contract that is believed to be a two year deal.  But please note that, as of now, this should be filed as nothing more than just a rumor.

[Update by Matty I, 9:16pm] I still haven't received a call back from Taylor's agent.  I checked back in with my "source" and he told me he hasn't heard anything else, either.  So we will take a wait and see approach for now.

You kinda

killed your “1st” by not posting it in the first comment ;)

But wow. This post, even though it is still of course a rumor, is crazy. I didn’t even begin to imagine there was even the slightest possibility we could get Jason back this offseason, nor did I think we wanted to. Even if this is true and the talks are only preliminary..

WOW.

i am sure his agent will call you back. he wouldn’t want to get on your bad side and have you rip JT in a column.

Think of it this way....

if the Dolphins had the chance to sign a player that was the 2006 NFL Defensive player of the year….and Tony Sparano just said “We feel like you never have enough pass rushers”……and it’s short term so it doesnt cost you a arm and a leg…..and the player WANTS BADLY to play for you….

would you be for it?

Just so happens that guy was the face of this franchise for a decade and we… as a bonus just traded him 12 months ago for 44th pick in the draft and change.

Parcells balls are THIS BIG.

At the end of the season with the Redskins you saw flashes of the old JT, I think he may have a breakout year on the way if he can make it back in Miami.

Minimum wage?

OK, but only if they leave a big sign on the door saying “Leave your baggage and PR rep here”. If he wants back, want’s it, REALLY want’s it for footballing reasons then fine. Otherwise Boston is North. Start walking.

Sorry, I know this won’t go down well but if he’s REALLY in to this then great. If there’s even 1% doubt then a 35y/o half committed JT isn’t something I want to see in a Phins uniform next season.

There is something to be said...

for someone that is willing to admit he made a mistake. you can tell as much in his words…

“ONE of the things I regret most about not being here last season was that I didnt get to play for Sparano”

so that leads me to believe he has MANY regrets about leaving. he’s human….i think his pride got in the way and he made bad moves when pushed. I know I have had about 3 or 4 diffrent jobs that i quit because I felt like somethings was complete bullshit…and then while i was working at the new place i was wishing i just stayed.

he’s not gonna say he’s sorry until he is signed and someone talks to him about it…but you can tell he is so that issue is dead to me. Apology accepted. It was his loss not ours….we got picks and went to the playoffs…he almost lost a leg and got 1.5 sacks outta position 1,000 miles from his family.

He isnt washed up Ill tell you that….anyone that says that needs to go back to what they thought about Joey Porter aftr he had that 2007 season….i for one hated him. but turns out it was an off year and he was playing outta position. Same goes for JT.

If your a Heat fan this is Alonzo Mourning all over again. Its spooky. We hated him on the way out…he comes back and look what happens yesterday….im damn near tears watching his jersey slowly go to the ceiling.

I want 2 years of JT teaching young players what its all about….he’ll be the Pennington of the defense trust me. I want to feel guilt free and happy when i watch his name go up in the ring of honor…time to kiss and make up.

hey…maybe he can help us decide who to take with #44. HA! suck it snyder!

Exactly

I was in the middle of texting my friend that JT might be coming back when I realized I really am for it. He was petulant last year, but he is definitely manning up to his mistake by even contacting The Dolphins FO. He knows we went 11-5 without him, and he knows that this organization is quite aware of that fact. This year, he is going to be twice as responsible for our 11-5/12-4 record because not only is he going to be a sick replacement for Holliday, but he also gave us a free second round pick and saved us some cap space/roster space for his worst season on record… that’s awesome.

Plus, we gave Ricky a chance after he broke our hearts, why not JT?

Do it baby!!!!

I for one, like many fellow Dolfans have slammed the guy on the way out, for the way he conducted himself, but with that in mind, i would love to see this beast come back. Would he be a shell of his former self, possibly. But i think JT at even 75-80% is a heck of a lot better than Roth at 100%. I am all for it, and i hope it comes to fruition. It also fills a hole, and lets him groom Wake for the next couple of seasons.

by FinzD54 on Mar 31, 2009 6:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What is up with the Roth hate around here?

First off, Jason taylor won’t even play the same position as Matt Roth.

This has been a pet peeve of mine lately. The guy was a convert DE project 3 years into his professional career. Last year was his rookie season at OLB and he amassed 5 sacks and 2 FF.

Jason Taylor in his rookie season at DE in a 4-3 amassed… 5 sacks and 2 FF.

Get your facts straight before hating on Matt Roth. He’s a project that is going to pay some serious dividends this year or the next. I think this year is his breakout OLB year.

by joel311 on Mar 31, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Dude are you serious?

So now you are saying that Roth, because his rookie stats compare to JT’s, will be a Hall of Fame DE, or OLB? What are you smoking buddy?

And another thing,

Maybe you need to check your facts bro, because last time i checked, Saban drafted Matt Roth, so i believe that would not make him a rookie last year as you claim.

His point was that last year was Roth's rookie year as a OLB

Not that it was actually his rookie year. Also, I don’t think he meant that Roth was going to be a HOFer because of one season. I think he was just trying to point out that Roth wasn’t as bad as a lot of people seem to think he was.

he said it was his rookie, aka first, year at OLB. Not as a Dolphin, just as an Outside LineBacker..

And nobody’s saying he’ll be an All-Pro, but he’s gonna get better and build off of last season.

We're not drafting a WR 1st.

Parcell’s does not like to do it and we are not as inept at WR as people like to make out. Sparano even said that Ginn is an over the top player who will benefit when Henne takes over. Pennington is a great game manager, but wide receivers will never have the spotlight while he is QB. That doesn’t mean our receiving corps is weak.

by joel311 on Mar 31, 2009 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I guess I will be the one to say it...

If the FO thinks this team can be in the Super Bowl in the next 2 years then make the deal. If this is not a Super Bowl team in the next two years, then don’t.

I would rather not give JT playing time over someone who should be playing when the fins get to the Super Bowl. JT is the type of guy who can put a team over the top for the short term, not the type of guy you build around.

I love what JT did for this franchise. The only 2 phins jerseys that I own are Marino and JT. But if he comes back here, I don’t see him as part of the process to get to the Super Bowl and that is what I want more than anything.

I say the phins draft the next JT in ’09 and let him play through his mistakes and learn on the job. IMO.

by ct1361 on Mar 31, 2009 7:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I agree with that one

love the guy, I think he belongs on the ROH with Zach, but I don’t think he helps us accomplish our goal of being Super Bowl contenders year in and year out. Like you said, he takes playing time away from a LB that will be here for the long haul.

and please don’t make this out to be a “JT Bashing” I think we all can agree that it would be awesome to see Jason Taylor back in that Aqua 99 tearing shit up, but I also think we need to focus on the bigger picture and how it would actually affect the team going forward past just this season…

The endorsements are all set, they’re just waiting to see what team you’re gonna be on so they can use that as part of the ad campaign

And with the first pick in the 2009 Draft, the Detroit Lions take MHTD

And along with him, they take any chance of any endorsement deals..

Friend and I were thinking...

How much would you be okay with him getting? Don’t get me wrong, I have been leading this bandwagon for him to come back, he is by far my alltime favorite player. And I would definately want him here over the Pats of course. However, realistically, I wouldn’t want us to overpay for him. A friend said he would require $8 mil a year. Do you think we really going to dig deep for him? I kind of hope not.

Let this season BE GINN!

The Redskins were not willing to pay him $8 Mil a year

and they chronically overpay players. He knows he’s not going to get $8 mil, so don’t worry about it.

I'll believe it when

he signs the contract……My gut tells me this is just JT trying to make it seem he would sign with us if the money was right…..then he signs with the Pats and uses this to soften the blow from outraged Fin Fans……..I don’t trust his motives……..If he does sign I would welcome him with open arms, anyone that can help this team win I want on this team. …………..which I’m sure he can still do……..

JT coming back?

Sure all is forgiven, now I have to go get his jersey back
I guess if he comes back, I will have to apologize for my angry moment

No fucking Patriots though!!!! If he doesn’t come here, go anywhere but the Patsies!!!!!

I hope he’s coming back, we could see another fun year ahead of us

This would help in 2 ways!!!!

1. We get some help to our pass rush

2. The Pats dont get him!!!!!

I have been saying since he was released I wanted Taylor, nowe my dream may come true! BTW I still want to sign Ken Lucas (CB) and draft Clint Sintim in round 2:)

So your saying were going to use him as a back up that would be hard for him when he could go to the pats be a starter and proably make more money and by statics have a better shot at a superbowl

We beef him up and put him at DT…if he doesn’t want to work out, then tell him to go home and get fat (but come back when you are 350 lbs…

Mixed emotions !!!!

Firstly, at this moment ………it is just a rumor. So, I don’t want to get to hyped one way or the other.

On side of me says : HELL YEAH !!! Dolphin great, upgrade on the D, help out the young guys, so on & so on……
The other side : NO WAY !! He wanted out, now that we are back on track…..he wants a job??? Big distraction, injuries, the money…….

So I am torn, as I am a fan. And, I am not impressed with the way he exited. Although, all is forgiven if he signs and performs on Sundays !!!!

Matty-

these seems like an elaborate April fools joke. . .

Honestly, at this point in his career the only contract I hope he signs is a $0 contract to retire as a Dolphin. . . I’d rather use the roster spot on a guy who has a future with the team.

Instant Poll

kinda curious about this…kinda have a feeling what most of you will say, but i figure i should ask anyway…

Is JT a HOFer?

IMO, no…although he has good numbers, 678 total tackles, 120.5 sacks, 7 INTs (3 returned for TD), and 41 FF…the fact that he has rarely been on a winning team, and has no rings, is enough for me, and the voters, to deny him entry…

I don't know about HOF...

Marino was one of the best players of his generation

and firmly in the conversation of greatest QB’s ever…

can we say the same about JT? What about Zach? Is Zach a HOFer?

by Little Nicky 21 on Mar 31, 2009 10:45 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I would argue Zach is a HoFer

he made many record sack during his tenure with us and he was called to small to do it but im biased :)

by Ex Sniper on Mar 31, 2009 10:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If it was up to me

they’d both be in. They were the best 2 players on the Dolphins for the last 10 years or so… but I don’t think my opinion holds much water in NFL circles lol

by Little Nicky 21 on Mar 31, 2009 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think they both are...

BUt, I just hate it when a player in a TEAM sport is defined by the number of rings he has. I mean, Marino never had the run game to help him, so he gets downplayed in the Best Ever conversation becase he has no rings.

Now, JT and ZT get punished because they played stiffling football at a time when we couldn’t find an offense…

exactly

but I think when it comes to the HOF, individual greatness usually (key word) overrides championships. Super Bowl rings are an enhancement to a candidate, but I don’t believe it’s a necessity..

I do think Zach should get in though, I think he was one of the 5 best MLB’s of this era…

by Little Nicky 21 on Mar 31, 2009 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree 100%

A Super Bowl ring can help, but it shouldn’t hurt.

I wouldn’t put Big Ben over Marino or Kelly but he has two rings to their combined 0…

not trying to instigate anything here...

but this rumor seems to have started on the FinHeaven forum. It was posted there on March 31 at 3:07 PM. Matty’s post was at 4:57 PM and includes the exact same info. The same thing happened last year with the Ernest Wilford signing.

I’m not accusing anyone of anything, but I’m just saying he might not have been the one to break this rumor.

Here's something to consider...

First – I don’t regularly read FH. And I wouldn’t steal somebody’s source and post it as my own – especially since that site is full of BS posters who have “sources” and then the stories never happen (like the Tony Gonzalez to Miami rumor a few weeks back).

But thanks for being a douche.

I’m not accusing anyone of stealing anything from anyone else. I was just saying that for those claiming that you might have broken this rumor, it was posted earlier elsewhere. That is all.

I’m sorry if I offended you in any way.

not arguing

just responding to Mosul’s post.

As for the rumor itself, I suppose it depends on the money involved, but there’s no way JT is an every down player anymore. He’s just a situational pass rusher now. He’s awful at defending the run at this point and teams will just pound it down his threat if he’s out there on running plays.

But he still can pressure the QB better than most if he’s healthy again, and this defense needs that.

That would be tremendous asset to the ’09 Fins! If added, our D will really be nasty this coming year.

Looking forward to Cameron Wake and see how a recent 2 time (in a row) CFL Defensive Player of the Year pans out with us.
