Jason Taylor: "It'd be very difficult" to sign with Jets

PrintWhile former Dolphins icon Jason Taylor remains unsigned, there are a ton of rumors about where he may end up playing football in 2009. We've heard all of the rumors about Taylor ending up in New England. And we know that Pats' owner Robert Kraft has publicly said that if he wants to join the Patriots, they can work something out to make it happen.
The Jets are another team believed tp have interest in Taylor. But Taylor says it wouldn't be easy to sign with one of his most hated rivals during his time in Miami. Taylor, speaking at a youth football camp in Florida, said:
'It'd be very, very, very difficult. At the end of the day, if I couldn't find a job anywhere else and the Jets called, I guess I'd have to retire or go play.''
It's great to hear Taylor say that - it really is. But why hasn't he come out and said the same about the possibility for playing for the Patriots, much like Zach Thomas did last offseason? Is Taylor open to playing in New England?
"I never said it wouldn't be difficult to play for either, but the Jets are the Jets. I've had a lot of history saying bad things about Jets fans. The fireman hat guy and all of those people in New York that are Jets fans aren't the ones working on Wall Street. I've said all of those things, so I've got to leave it at that.''
That's true. Taylor has been far more vocal about his feelings towards Jets fans than he has about the fans of any other team - Patriots included.
As far Taylor's possible return to Miami goes, you'll remember that I reported last week that the two sides had met and, from what my source told me, they spoke about a possible 2 year deal - but decided to take a "wait and see" approach. Then Armando Salguero, the bad reporter that he is, reported on Friday that (and this is a direct quote from Armando), "the Dolphins have not called or talked to the Taylor camp."
Well, Armando, you're wrong again. Taylor said at his football camp that he has spoken with the Dolphins:
"We talked. I'm not going to get into what we talked about or the details of it, but we did talk. They know how I feel and what I'd like to do. And I know how they feel and what they'd like to do; what they're looking for.''
That pretty much gels with what I've heard from my well-placed source. If anything was to happen between the Dolphins and Taylor, it wouldn't happen until after the draft.

Typical..
Ive been a long JT fan, and I really think he is just sucking up to the Dolphins front office to make them give in. Yes he does have loyalty to the team, however i really dont think he cares where he plays, just how hes viewed once he retires. Nobody wants to be viewed as a traitor. Id still love to see JT in a phins uniform this year, but I think the front office as welll as us fans, should jsut focus on the draft right now.
I went to Ricky Williams high school!
First
I love this by the way
Well, Armando, you’re wrong again.
I remain to my previous statement that you have more creds than half these so called experts out there, My hats to you agian for proving it right!
Good post by the way, and i think that the Dolphins and JT are hashing things out good and the whole jets/patsies rivalry just shows you how we have two heated rivals in our confrence just kinda depends when ya started loving the phins to what order they fall on lol
lol if you liked that. you should've seen the matty SLAP! on brian brohm...priceless

He's done
washed up – finished. he just doesn’t have the passion anymore – you can see it in his play.
The rest of you go get the goods on Stan. His mom grounded him once for setting something on fire. Let's find out what that something was and then lie and say it was a puppy.
huh?
he played out of position and hurt last year….he was the NFL Defensive MVP 3 years ago…i doubt he went from hero to zero that quick dude.
i find it funny that some poeple are saying he looked crappy last year…how many skins games did people actually watch/ lol. he almost lost his damn leg…he gets credit just for playing after that happened.

how many skins games did people actually watch
not sure – but I know i saw 12 of them because their one of my favorite NFC teams and I have NFL Sunday ticket. so if you think I said that just to say that – well then i’m sorry that I didn’t put my life details in my comments. next time i will do so

Adda boy JT...
and great job by you Matty.
Thank god you at least dont have to hear him on the radio…he subs in for people down here all the time on 790 and youll turn on the radio looking for the show and get his annoying voice.
ive called him a few times…bitch slapped him for saying Porters season was over…but he is just one of those ’oh yea..well…." people. his head got big because his face got in the paper and now that his paper is about to go bankrupt anyday hes bitter. i just find it hilarious hes too stupid to realize he is making fun of bloggers….on his blog. the only thing people read of his..cuz NOBODY READS THE HERALD OUTSIDE OF MIAMI. so once that paper goes under this year he will be left with no title and no job…so hell somehow end up online. douche.
JT is funny….“I guess…well…..id retire…..or go play.” haha
read between the lines here….they got together and JT made the relationship even better…made sure they knew they were right and he was wrong. they probally said wait till after the draft we just gotta see what falls to us…he said ok i wont sign anywhere till after then and u let me know….they barely talked numbers cuz thats the last worry…and he is a employee hoping the company calls to hire him.
the fact that he has now said all the fight things and given the phins 1st right at his services really saves JT’s legacy in my book…it kinda heals what happened last year. the only thing that would piss me off at this point is if he went to the Pats for a few extra bucks…because then id just label him all talk and no loyalty.

On that same note
it would seem that, short from the Dolphins shutting the door completely on him forcing him to go to the Patsies in order to play, he is almost forced to play for the Phins if he truly wants to reconcile his image, his legacy, and his name. Because if he does end up going even though the Phins say “ya all the stars are lined up right welcome aboard!” it would comepletely label him in a negative way that could seriously hurt his image.
ehhh
no matter what in 10 years the same ceremony will be held to put his name in the ring of honor…and ill still be there standing clapping my hands…
he had a ego moment last off season…it blew up in his face but it seems like he admits he was wrong.
he wants back..he continues all his charity work in the community of Miami and his kids and wife call this their home still…he is this franchise so if they say no thanks and he still wants to play i wont hate him for going to the place where he can win a ring. as long as he says he wants to be here…..thats all i need to hear

ditto
Just one man's opinion.
The defending AFC Champions Miami Dolphins chose Marino with the 27th pick in the NFL draft.....
Founding member of the 2nd round draft of NT Ron Brace, 6'3", 330, benchx225:32 bandwagon
Founding member of the 3rd round draft of OG Herman Johnson, 6'7", 350, 36.5" arms bandwagon
I dont give two craps if he wants to come back then Ill hold the door for him
Ahhhh Ta Ta Ta Ta Bye Bye Foy518
dont know what to believe
jt did spend most of last year lying doublespeaking to the press… so should we believe him now?
PFT says no
We’re not prepared to say we don’t believe Taylor. Wait, maybe we are.
….
If nothing else, feigning interest in returning to the Fins is great practice for his acting career.
Then again, given that he seems to be destined for the Michael Irvin/Bill Romanowski "former football player" roles, it’s not as if Taylor needs much acting practice.
I wouldnt put much stock into Florio's speculations

idk if i want him. we sign him. great id love to have a fin legend back. we dont...o welll we have plenty of youngins
bottom line. hes still a playmaker. if you feel like one of our olb positions could use a little “aid” then you bring him in. we just cant let it hinder a younger guys development.

What are we waiting for
I understand the idea of developing our team through the draft, but shouldn’t we look at the benefit JT could do us there as well. Say we sign JT now and then allow ourselves to focus on a CB or WR – couldn’t we draft a lesser known talent in the later rounds whom may benefit from having a guy like JT or JP playing in front of him. Isn’t that the idea of mentoring – we do it with QB’s why not DEs as well? I am afraid that if our front office sits on this too long JT will unfortunately go rogue and play for one of our rivals. Wouldn’t it also be nice to sign him and get him motivated to be like Hell Yeah I am going to play for my squad again and get training.
Oh yeah and Snipe F*** Bruce Smith and the Bills (early 90’s fan)!

I guess its that whole first amendment thing – weird
why do you feel it necessary to burn a fan of a different team? isn’t this a community for SPORTS fans?
i’d say much more mean things – but the rules prohibit that and i’m not a prick

but I do know – and this is 100% fact and you can do this yourself and see – that if you came and posted comments at buffalorumblings you wouldn’t get treated like your some sort of alien from a different planet.
i guess we’re just nicer over there – because it seems like every time i post on this site someone has a sarcastic or prickish comment for no particular reason other than to be a jerk.
but other than that – you guys aren’t too bad

Backhanded Compliment of the Year.
aww are you mad because the Bills are the only AFCE team not mentioned here? I fail to see how this subject is relevant to you at all, and apparently others feel the same way, but I’ve had some good dealing with your site, specifically Brian G, so I won’t be an asshole to you.
On a similar note, why do fans from opposing teams come on here, make a stupid comment like
He’s done washed up – finished.
or
didn’t like those beatings twice a year I take it?
about the Dolphins, then get insulted when somebody fires back or asks why they’re here? Makes no sense. If you’re gonna come on here and gloat about wins from 15 years ago, you’re gonna have to deal with whatever is said back. Crying and acting like torontorumblings is suuuuch a better site begs the question of why you ventured over here if you’re site is so awesome. Enjoy TO and another year of Dickie J.

well I say he’s washed up and finished because i saw him play all last year.
didn’t know he was a dolphin yet – so didn’t think it matttered.
and I said that didn’t like those beatings because of this comment
Oh yeah and Snipe F*** Bruce Smith and the Bills (early 90’s fan)!
i think that was far more rude than anything i’ve said

also Little NIcky – I don’t know why you can’t say a players washed up.
I mean look at the Bills – Schobel/Kelsay/Denney – you want to talk about crap players – look no furthur.
Whitner – yeah – he’s good. McCargo – great 1st round pick..riiiigghhhtt
If I take a jab at your team you’ll know about it – but talking about a washed up DE isn’t a slight against the team – its a slight against that crappy player. big difference there

Beat it Geek! Those beating wouldn’t have been so terrible if you guys could’ve finished it out and not missed those fieldgoals. I think that kind of always left us dolphans like man we would’ve won the super bowl. I will give you props though you guys won your fair share back in the day, but what happened over the last 15 years. Now Beat it Geek – as said earlier go back to your Torontorumblings – sad that you guys have to play in Toronto in order to make money bc your team is so pitiful for fans to watch at home!
sad that you guys have to play in Toronto in order to make money bc your team is so pitiful for fans to watch at home!
i’ll go over to Green Bay’s website and Seattles and tell them the same thing because they’ve done that before too.
but you do realize that now i will be here every single day because of how mean you guys have been.
That is the SBnation welcome guide. Here is a paragraph that so you don’t have to search.
If you found us through the blogs about your favorite team, check out the blogs for rival teams, those in the same division, or other teams in other sports within the same city. Your SB Nation network account lets you participate in all of them
now why is the ONLY place on SBnation that I have visited had a “frat” boy attitude about their blog?
