Sean Taylor signed the contract - an $18 million dollar contract. That might not be much to him, but it's a heckuva lot to me. And shawn springs is 32. That might not be too old to do my puny job, but it's fair to ask if he's getting too old to play professional football. So blame these guys if you want, but please, don't try and say this is Gibbs fault because he drafted the best player in the draft, who just happens to also play safety. To do that is to agree with jenkins and admit that you really don't either understand football or business.

I haven't read anywhere that Springs is actually holding oput for more money. He's making some pretty decent change actually. Taylor has a fairly legitimate contractual gripe but I think he's just a superstar that is so used to doing anything he damn well pleases that he doesn't care to explain himself for not showing up.
