Sean Taylor's Contract

[Daseal]

I do think Sean Taylor has a bigger gripe than most. He got screwed on his rookie contract, why? So he wouldn't be a camp holdout! Let's help the man out and keep him happy.

I don't think you want to start redoing deals that are only a year old.No matter why they where signed.
I could see it next year if Taylor has a really great season. But you don't want to set a precedent. The next guy that has a greedy agent whispering in his ear will say it worked for Sean. Why not me? That's not a good thing for our Skins.

Exactly! This is how I see it: Play under the deal that you signed....for at least a couple years. Bad deal or not, it is a SIGNED contract, isn't it? After two (or three) quality years, then talk about wanting a new one.
From what I've read, it seems that it is an heavily incentive laden contract, so if he plays as well as most of us think he will, he will make those incentives and his contract won't be so "bad".

I don't follow. How did he get screwed? If anything, his agents (former agents-Mato and Moorad) screwed him but that's not the responsibility of the Redskins to make up for any errors the agents made

I agree. ESPN compared the contracts of the top ten or so draft picks last year and Taylor was rock bottom. The team initially said that they would review the terms.

Ok you fire your agent cause you do not feel he is doing the proper job. (This was Drew Rosenhaus) and hire another one who gets a deal done that you sign and verbally state that you are happy with. Then you fire that agent and hire the previous agent Drew Rosenhaus) and expect a new deal. Give me a break this guy signed a legitmate contract.
