Seriously, Taylor's commitment should be the least of our concerns. He's here for a year, he's got his money, he's out to prove his worth and ability. He has never been a money guy (like Haynesworth may be) or a 'me' guy just interested in himself. He's a pride guy and I think last year will motivate him even more to prove it was a fluke and he's not done.
I say move on. I want guys that are going want to put on the burgundy and gold. Not guys that are looking to extend their careers and pocketing more money. There is no way you can tell me that Taylor's heart is into playing here cause it's not. I get so tired of bringing in other teams players. When is this non sense ever going to stop?? Nothing in the past proves that building a team and making other teams players the highest paid on your own team works. Show me one example of any NFL team that has won a SB by bringing in old free agents or other teams players??

Oakland got there, but got beat in 2002 by a team that was stronger-built than they were.

Oak. is a good example. They had a nice 3 year run from 2000-2002. But what happened after that? Guys got old and the team crumbled and is on a 6 year run of playing bad football.

They tried to get back to glory by overpaying for bad players.

2003 was a direct result of 2001 and 2002 for the Raiders. It's hard to remember now, but that team was pretty competitive under Norv. They've just been a total sinkhole ever since he left.
