Free-agent DE Jason Taylor is apparently in serious contract discussion with the New York Jets. This seems very odd, given the horrible relationship Taylor has endured with Jets fans. In past years, he has been very critical of them and they have returned their rancor.
Taylor has been in stalled negotiations with the Miami Dolphins who are reluctant to increase the ante for the 35 year old 13 year veteran.
Some Jet fans feel that Taylor is merely using their team to extract more money from the Dolphins. Taylor has met with the brain trust of the Jets and toured their facility. The Jets are in a unique situation with the lack of a Collective Bargaining Agreement. As one of the "final four" teams, they are limited in signing unrestricted free-agents and can only use a $1.5 million slot they have available.
Rumors have also circulated about his annual flirting with the Pats. Taylor seems to be in no hurry, but I expect things to heat up if he is unsigned before the NFL draft starts on April 22nd.
