Too bad SmootSmack2.0 felt the need to lock it up, because it might be fun right about now.

Yeah good call on that quick shutdown by SS... that thread would have gotten ugly really quick.

Yeah, but who said we should trade Taylor for Briggs? And then went on to say that a reason would be because we need a DE?

Well, in our defense, it did look like it could be about the contract. We used the #5 overall pick on him, and then went out and made a Archuletta, AKA "Toast," the highest paid safety in league history, and refused to give Ryan Clark a small raise. And then this year we go out and draft another safety early in the first round. I think Taylor wanting a new contract was justified speculation. Don't get me wrong, I'm THRILLED he's at Redskins Park this week. He's my favorite player.

I never said you did. dmek said a few people thought Taylor's contract was the issue, and your name was on his list.

There is no way in HE double hockey stick we should trade S Taylor.....

LOL nice mock interview with Gibbs.

The most rewarding part of this...........thread, is that when the season starts, we won't have to deal with this type of SH.....................

Correct, but then we get to deal with threads like "Betts should be the starter", "Is it time for Jordan Palmer to see some action?", and "Brandon Lloyd sucks!!1!"...

I can't wait.

Boy, you guys already know how the entire offseason is going to go? Hell, what is the next powerball number?

I guess the anonymous players that said he doesn't like his deal were lying or don't exist.

Wait until Landry gets signed....

[skinsfan_nn]

Bout damn time his ass got to work. Does he have a TARDY clause?

All can chill out, at least for a minute.

Obligatory PFT post:

TAYLOR NOT PUSHING FOR NEW CONTRACT, YET

A league source tells us that the decision of Redskins safety Sean Taylor to skip the first week of offseason practices (known as Organized Team Activities) and to show up for the second week of workouts is unrelated to his contract, or any lack of satisfaction therewith.

Though Taylor was unhappy with his contract not long after it was signed nearly three years ago, he is confident (we're told) that the deal will be renegotiated at the appropriate time.

There is some thought that a new deal could come after the 2007 season.

Taylor was the fifth overall pick in the 2004 draft. In the past, he has spent most of the offseason in Miami. The team was under the impression that he would show up for the first week of OTA's, and some players reportedly concluded that his absence was related to unhappiness with his contract.

I watched the live interview with ST on Redskin.com, he was actually well spoken. Said the contract was not or has never been an issue. It would be dealt with when they time came, I was impressed.

Went further to say he had a seven year deal with the Skins and everyone was real excited to be back and ready to get to work. He was glad to be back with the guys, maybe the young buck is growing up. It sure was nice to see him on the field. I get the feeling he will not be any problem or distraction at all, more of a good team mate that want's to get us where we want to go. ALL THE WAY!
