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!
