REPORT: Dolphins "don't seem to have much interest" in Jason Taylor

PrintThe latest news about Jason Taylor's possible return to Miami isn't so promising - if you're one of the many who want the legendary pass-rusher to return to the Dolphins. The Sun-Sentinel is reporting that the Dolphins are not so serious in re-signing the free agent pass-rusher:
The Miami Dolphins don't seem to have much interest in re-signing Jason Taylor, who has been a free agent since the Washington Redskins released him in early March.
Taylor, 34, has expressed a strong desire to return to the franchise with which he earned six Pro Bowl berths and the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award. Taylor's family and foundation are based in South Florida. But the Dolphins have not begun serious negotiations with him.
The New England Patriots still have a strong interest, according to sources. Another option is Tampa Bay: The Buccaneers' defensive coordinator is Jim Bates, a fan of Taylor's from their days together with the Dolphins. Taylor is expected to make a decision within the next week or two.
I can't say I'd be surprised if the Dolphins did indeed take a pass on Taylor this time around. But would it hurt to see Taylor in a Patriots' uniform? Of course.
In my opinion, though, this says more to me about this regime's feelings towards players already on the roster - Cameron Wake comes to mind first - than it does about Jason himself.

i would like
to see jt back in a dolphins uniform. but i’m not sure if that’s because i think he will make the team better, or if i just wouldn’t want to see him in a ne uniform.

Doesn't surprise me at all.
If JT came back, that would mean we would have to let go of a promising young special team stud and would give those that make the team less playing time. As it is I see Roth, Porter, Wake, and either Walden or Anderson as the 4 OLBs that will make the roster. If JT came back, I don’t think there would be room for either Walden or Anderson.
Guys
JT will always be one of my favorite Dolphins. The guy was awesome, but I think its over. Not only just in this posting, but Ireland saying that “they haven’t talked about it…” They do not want JT. He really had his chance to prove himself to this regime and he did not display a good attitude. There is a risk to bringing him in where he could possibly be disruptive to what the current plan is, even though he is probably still a great pass rusher. I think what most of you don’t want to see happen is for him to come back with the Patriots and beat us while putting our QB’s in traction. I’m just going to roll with the front office with this one.

Keep in mind
That Fialkov was speculating on this subject. He said he think “there’s not much interest”. Not that Im disagreeing with you Matty, and if they dont sign him I think that is a good indicator of where we stand with our linbacking corps. However I dont think it looks bad on them either if we do sign him.
Point is at the end of the article is a quote from Ireland being ambiguous like he always is. And when has this regime come out with their true feelings till after something’s happened

They cant sign him until...
If the Phins sign JT within the same year he was traded back to his original team the Phins owe the Redskins a 2nd round pick.
I think they'll still sign him
seems like a negotiating tactic.
Kind’a like when you used to ignore the girl you wanted to do during recess
but maybe that was just me…..
true story =(
