I think this is good point, however the circumstances were different this time. In other situations, good players such as Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, and more recently Adam Archuleta were brought here when Snyder wanted to buy his way into a SB, and they were given huge contracts once they got here. In most of these situations, I feel that these players had little to prove and just wanted a big payoff. In Taylor's case, we brought him b/c of need, he didn't sign a big contract, and he has a lot to prove.
