Jason Taylor Leaving the Fins?
Bill Parcels became Vice President of Football Operations for the Miami Dolphins in December of 2007. He immediately started causing a stir with the veterans on the team. Especially with arguably their best player, Pro Bowler Defensive End Jason Taylor. Apparently Jason was upset that Bill has yet to sit down and talk to him, even felt ignored when he ran into him in a video room. It’s amazing how established veterans of a football team react with Bill Parcels’ lack of awe/respect of them. Bill has always treated all players the same until they have proven their play to him. Veterans usually feel their play in the past is proof enough for their respect, but not for Parcels. He needs to see them perform, before he gives them respect. Jason has since missed all voluntary Team workouts, instead decided to participate in the “Dancing with the Stars” reality show, missed last week’s OTS (Organized Team Activities), and Coach Tony Sparano (1st year coach) has even stated that Jason will be missing minicamp and training camp. It appears Jason is trying to force a trade, but the leverage is on Parcels’ side. Jason is due a salary of $7.5 million for 2008. If he does miss training camp, he can be fined for each practice missed. Who knows how this will turn out, obviously, the Dolphins are a better team with Taylor, but a lot needs to be done before this issue is resolved. We’ll see how this pans out.
