 JT is a Jet.Quote: Jason Taylor to play for the New York Jets Jason Taylor has decided to join the New York Jets, according to his agent Gary Wichard. The NFL's active sack leader and the player with more sacks than anyone since 2000, will sign a contract with New York as early as Wednesday. Taylor is tentatively scheduled to fly to New York to meet with Jets management Wednesday morning. Read more: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/#ixzz0lfWBOZre  _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. Emotions aside, I still can't fathom the FO thinking on this one. The way we kicked him to the curb is deplorable, especially w/o a suitable replacement on the roster. I hope he doesn't haunt us too badly. Love the guy, but now I have to root AGAINST one of my favorite players. Ouch. |

Re: JT is a Jet. We can only blame ourselves. There can't be a doubt at all now that we will have a Defense heavy draft, let's look at what happened with our defense so far this offseason:
Gone: Gibril Wilson (Starter) Akin Ayodele (Starter) Joey Porter (Starter) Jason Taylor (Starter) Nate Jones (Starting Nickel cb) Jason Ferguson - out 9 games (Starter) Additions: Karlos Dansby There may be some I missed, but looking at that will keep me up at night worrying what kind of D we will be fielding in 10-11. _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. JT got a 2 year deal worth up to $13mil ... No way we were gonna come close to matching that.

Re: JT is a Jet. Two-year, $13 million deal.
First year is $3.75 million. Highly doubt the Dolphins were going to give him either of those figures...not that money should matter to him at this point...and not that the Jets will likely pay him that $9M in year two. That's just a saving-face number. He's a traitor and has been since he forced his way out after the 2007 season. _________________ ONLY GATORS Get Out Alive: http://www.onlygators.com |

Re: JT is a Jet. Let me see:
Wilson, Ayodele, Porter... kept me up at night worrying about what kind of D we had when they were on our team last year. Taylor, Jones, JFerg... Hard to replace, no doubt. Got a lot of work to do. Taylor's no traitor. He was forced out by the FO after swallowing his pride and coming back out of loyalty last year. |

He was way underappreciated and has played on garbage teams since entering the league. He made a wise move to cash in one last time before his NFL career is over. Only the jests would put up that kind of money for an aged player. Hopefully he'll cut us some slack when we face him this year. _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. He's a traitor to me. All those years bashing the Jets and their fans, please. If it's true and we face them on opening Monday night, I hope Jake smashes his face in.

Re: JT is a Jet. He was dead to me after he pulled what he did after the 2007 season. And I don't want to hear the "front office pushed him out" argument. That is hogwash as far as I'm concerned. But I respect those who hold that opinion.

Re: JT is a Jet. Sad day indeed. I didn't think I would ever see him in a Jets uniform. I don't understand how the FO could let this get to this point. I think our FO outsmarted themselves on this decision. You know he will be out there to prove something against us, so Miami better be ready for him.

Re: JT is a Jet. imho, i think our front office really dropped the ball on this one, but i'll withhold judgement until after the season plays out and we see what kind of production we get out of JT's replacement. I do not appreciate the fact our front office forced out yet another franchise icon, and i don't really want to give them the benefit of the doubt but if we can become a better team for it than reluctantly i'm on board with it. if however JT's replacement is an acquisition on par with gibril wilson or ernest wilford, then i will be forced to re-examine my respect for this regime, considering their questionable track record in regards to certain draft picks and free agent acquisitions.

Quote: Linebacker Jason Taylor is leaving the Miami Dolphins to play for the New York Jets, his agent, Gary Wichard, told the Miami Herald.

The Miami Herald reported that the 35-year-old Taylor is tentatively scheduled to travel to the New York area on Wednesday to sign the contract. Because of the Final Eight rules that restrict the Jets from signing Taylor for more in the first year than what kicker Jay Feely received from leaving the Jets to join the Cardinals, Taylor will be on the Jets' books for $1.75 million in 2010, but he could earn another $1.25 million to $2 million depending upon his performance. Its all but signed, you can hold your breathe all you want, but JT will be wearing the puke green next year. _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. Tough reality to swallow as I will miss Jason being in a Dolphins uniform and it will certainly be very strange to see him on the Jets.
Obviously, it wasnt meant to be for him to return to Miami and I understand it was probably a business/career decision. I have really appreciated having him on the Dolphins and it is a shame he wont finish his career in Miami. |

Will we boo him in Miami? & JTI can't boo a guy who busted his butt for our team year in and year out and has done (and i'm sure will continue to do) tremendous things for the community of South Florida. This is a business and the jests are the only team dumb enough to put such a large price tag on someone who may not have enough left in the tank. _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. I find it interesting that everyone is so upset at this front office for not resigning Jason Taylor, but yet was so happy to see Porter go, even though Porter was just as productive last season. I understand that Joey's behavior and price tag was less than stellar, but I think most people that are ready to jump off the bridge because of us not getting JT aren't looking at this from the proper standpoint. Yes he has been a fan favorite for a long time, but when it comes down to it, he is too old and his production is going to start dropping off. IMO, not bringing Jason back was the right move by the FO, and it's going to give us an opportunity to get younger at the position. Separate the emotion from it, and you will see that maybe this wasn't such a bad move after all.

Re: JT is a Jet. Hmm.... 1.75 mil salary, 2 mil in performance bonuses and the Dolphins couldnt match that?
I think they were done with JT for whatever reason... RIP JT.... I really hope he falls on his face in NY like he did in Wash... And I hope Jake Long puts him in the dirt... _________________ Caveat: These are the opinions of this user, and may differ from your opinion. Please use common sense before taking offense.

Re: JT is a Jet. I have no problem with him leaving, probably a smart move by the Big Guys. I am a Dolphins fan and anyone who plays for the Jets is a tool, even if they were Dolphins before. I hope JT gets owned this year by everyone he plays against.

Re: JT is a Jet. He definately did... No sources of that yet, but I know there was definately an offer on the table. The "after draft" was to negotiate more money...
So how bad is Jake Long going to maul this old man when we meet them?? If his first time away was any indication of how he likes the cold, he should be on IR by our 2nd game against them... _________________ Caveat: These are the opinions of this user, and may differ from your opinion.

Re: JT is a Jet. Well, I am certainly disappointed with this news, but I am not going to blame all of this on the FO in regards to Jason leaving. This is a team trying to get younger and move ahead.
I would have liked to have Jason back because I thought he was solid last year, but the regime wanted probably to see what Cameron Wake offers, and they are both best as WOLB. Plus, if Jason did take the Jets deal for more money when Miami offered a solid deal, that just makes it more disappointing. The Dolphins bought him back last year when they did not have to. He is the one that wanted to be traded out of Miami and was happy to go to Washington. He is a Jet now or soon will be. Time to move on. _________________

Re: JT is a Jet. Actually JT's agent was just on with Lebetard and said the dolphins had no contract nor a promise of a contract or JT would've signed it in a heartbeat.
