Sign him up today. $1.5 million is more than fair for a player of Jason Taylor's talent, leadership, and love for this team. I'll bet he finds the end zone again this year. He always does.

I'd give him 3 mill if thats what he wanted. Not a moment of hesitation on my part.

Update from Jason Taylor’s agent
by: Mike Berardino April 8th, 2010 | 8:46 AM

Late last night, after much of the dust had settled from the revelation Miami Dolphins great Jason Taylor had deigned to visit the reviled New York Jets, I checked in with Gary Wichard.

The Los Angeles-based agent sent along this email update on his client’s Gotham recruiting visit, and I pass it along now to you:

“There’s no contract discussions at all,” Wichard wrote. “What the Jets are going to pay has nothing to do with what the Dolphins want to pay. This is all about football and the best fit for Jason and he’ll make that decision when he’s ready.”

One report has the Taylors, Jason and Katina, making that decision after this weekend, but it’s possible this contemplation period could drag on for another week or so. Basically, you get the sense the Jets aren’t going to pressure Taylor in any way, although you can imagine they don’t want to have an offer still sitting out there as they enter draft week in another 10 days or so.

Nor will Taylor’s camp try to goose the Dolphins into doing anything before they are good and ready. (Although if it happens that way, no one will complain.)

“I won’t use an offer from the Jets to try to secure a contract from the Dolphins,” Wichard added. “That’s not what’s going to make the deal.”

Nor will these angry words from Fireman Ed kill a possible deal between Taylor and the hated Jets. Had to laugh at Fireman Ed weighing in on such matters in a major New York tabloid, but the man does have a history with JT.

At least he says he does.

By the way, why don’t the Dolphins have a Superfan anymore? Ever since the passing of Dolfan Denny Sym in 2007, there’s been a real void, don’t you think?

The Dolphins need to get this done. 2-3 mill would be a solid deal for a solid player for Miami. He also a team leader.

You resigned Jason Ferguson and he will not be available until game 9, coming off an serious injury and just as old as Taylor.

Depending on how the draft goes, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ferguson dumped.

Why must they do this every year man??? The guy came in and performed at a higher level than most of us thought he would... whats the hold up on another 1 year deal??

Taylor was kind of a stop gap last year on a terrible defense...I think they want to start to develop guys like Wake and Anderson and whoever they draft and move on now. As a fan, I'd love to have him back, but on the business side I see what they're doing...I think

My thoughts exactly. this is bogus IMO.

The part about Ferguson really gripes me. The fo is either having brain cramps or brain dead IMO.

Everyone looks out for their own. Ferguson is a Parcells guy. I am sure that if Jimmah Johnson were still the head coach that JT would all ready be signed.

One thing I like about this front office is that they make moves that they feel are best for the team despite what the fans think. On the other hand, in a situation like this where JT is a fan favorite, maybe they should bend the rules a bit. He's humbled himself from his original position of a couples years ago, he has a good rep-or with the team, is a good leader, and still has playmaker in him. For what we are paying Cam-Wake, he's worth that kind of money.

I know the fo is trying to build a good team and all. But, why get rid of a tried and true player. They know what he can and will do. Sparano "seems" to love JT and what he stands for. It just seems like every year since they've been here they've messed with him for some reason. If they don't want him, so be it, let him go, Or sign him and hush about it. It just doesn't have to be so strung out and complicated IMO.
