Jason Taylor and Dolphins Part Ways

[BigBadBrawler]

Reports are out this morning from Bill Parcells that Jason Taylor will remain a Dolphin next season unless he retires in which case they would still retain his rights.

.... they say as they quietly let him seek a trade on his own, without the drop-in value that would naturally accompany a public "cutting ties" agreement...

I honestly think this is just a strategic move. If a team and a player publicly state that they're cutting ties, then other teams aren't likely/willing to give fair market value for him, because they expect his release (or they expect him to sit-out or create some other sort of head-ache that will ensure his release). Now, I do give this extra credibility if it came straight from Parcells, and I don't think Taylor is the kinda player that would create a bad situation, but I think this latest statement is just smoke to cover up the reality, and I think if MIA gets a solid offer, they'll still be willing to move Taylor...
