And this year he scheduled to make less than $600,000. He is in his final year of his rookie contract, and even after becoming Defensive MVP, he still hasn't demanded a new contract and he's never held out from all the information I was able to find.

The biggest comparison you can make in the contracts is the term... thats where Taylor got screwed, not in the per yr numbers. Whats the avg. carreer span for a safety in this league? It cant be more than 8 9 yrs, and he's tied up in a low money contract for seven years. His agent should have told him not to take such a long rookie deal, but he didn't and now he's fired. Now, Taylor fired his agent, but still feels cheated out of the career and lifestyle he's been working toward his whole life. It kinda taints the dream a little bit and without his dumbass agent around, he's going to take it out one someone else. That being the team. I dont agree with it because Im a fan of the team, but if I were a player, I might be a little weary of the Redskins FO myself.
