The End of Fred Taylor

It appears that Fred Taylor and the Pats are reaching the end of the line. Taylor is signed through the end of the season. It would make no sense to bring him back next year unless he was paid at the veteran minimum.

Taylor has been brilliant when able to be on the 45 man roster. His injuries have raised the question of what might have been.

Taylor came to the Pats with a lot of miles on his legs. Hehas not been able to stay on the field the last two seasons. He has been active the last two games and seen limited mop-up duty. He was a healthy scratch against the Bears.

He has avoided publicly stating his frustration. He knows the end of his career is sooner rather than later. It's rather ironic that his might be his best chance to get a Super Bowl ring, but in the end, his contribution has been minimal.

I think he still has some games left if some team wants to pick him up on cheap dollars in spite of his great injury risk.
