He doesn't have any roster bonuses or workout bonuses remaining in his contract, the only money coming his way is the base salary.
So what's he going to do, hold out for 3 years? Play 6 games each season to get credit for a season played? His base salaries are subject to him being here and playing. If he doesn't play for us, he gives up his base salary. So what, you think he's going to give up his source of income for the next 3 years?
Hell no. The guy will be here when it counts, he needs to earn his money. He can throw a fit about his contract for all I care, he has no leverage, the Skins know it, and they know he'll be here.
Missing OTAs? Whoopee stinkin doo. Until he starts missing mandatory training camp, who the frick cares.

Who cares? Joe Gibbs.
Everyone who said that it won't be an issue, you are right, because Taylor will have a new deal in place before the season starts (mark my words).
Whoever thinks that he has no leverage and that he should honor the contract that he signed, welcome to the year 2007.
