Taylor trouble, again

[skinsfanthru&thru]

this is so weird since he seemed like the safest pick for the skins to make.

Barnes' agency, Maximum Sports Management, happen to be this year's winner of ESPN's "Draft Agent Derby":

So these guys are definitely going to be busy. If Taylor signs with them, he'd better do it now, because the longer he waits, the longer the negotiations are going to take-- especially if he waits until the last week before training camp to sign with them. Heck, it's bad enough as it is now. Most agents have at least set up the groundwork for negotiations at this point.

The good news is, Barnes is allied with Eugene Parker, another agent with whom the Redskins have an excellent working relationship.

I think there is a LOOONG way to go before you have to worry if Sean Taylor is the latter day Dmetrius Underwood.

Underwood was sick and needed psychiatric therapy and medications. He heard voices in his head and felt the need to do what the voices suggested he do.

Taylor is being irresponsible and procrastinating and seems to lack focus. But that is a far cry from Underwood's state.

However, I do agree with you that the Skins do not need the latter day Dmetrius Underwood in the same time zone with them. Therefore, I join you in hoping these two characters never merge...

Oh yeah, I know.. I was making a tounge in cheek reference to D. Underwood, that's why I conditioned it with the "** Overreactionary alarmist alert **" disclaimer..
