Jason Taylor to re-sign with the Dolphins

[FRPLG]

Ok he needs his head examined. He basically gave up 7.4 mil so he could spend an extar 24 days this ONE offseason with his kids. I lvoe my kids a lot but for 7.4 mil I'll miss them for a month and never look back.

FRPLG - I agree completely with you - having an extra $7.4 million for some extra wrokouts was way worth his time. I am surprised he is coming back for only $1.1. million - from what I heard he wants to go into broadcasting and he could probably pull close to a million doing that than busting his tail and risking injury playing football - especially at his age and position.

From this whole ordeal lets hope that we never have 2 season ending injuries to a single position for a long time on the first day of practice.

Not if his number one reason is to retire after this year as a Miami Dolphin.

If he wants to retire as a Dolphin after the 2009 season, he can't very well do it playing for the Redskins in 2009. Which means he had to walk away from more money to get what he really wanted...retiring as a Dolphin.

I thought players often sign one day contracts for this reason though. For instance Art Monk came back and signed on as a Redskin and than retired shortly therafter so he could retire a Redskin.

Beat me to it. B Mitch did the same.

He can just sign a one day contract if he wants to do that. He doesn't need to play for a year with them to do that.

Yeah, I kinda forgot about that. But just because I'm not willing to be proven wrong, perhaps he wants to actually play his final year with the Dolphins.

He could've done that anyways.

Yeah he could have. Honestly im shocked he didnt sign with the Patriots. Even before he was released I had a feeling he would be and sign with New England. I guess he really likes Miami because you would think he would take a shot at getting a championship. Then when he did retire he could sign a 1 day contract and retire a Dolphin.
