FAREWELL SWEET PRINCE



Part-time Defensive End and Full-time Ballerina, Jason Taylor, was cut today by the Washington Redskins. Taylor tallied a staggering 3.5 sacks and 0 turnovers in one season with the Redskins while collecting $8 million (about $2.3 million per sack). In no surprise to anyone, the team was initially willing to bring Taylor back for another year at the same price; however, the team actually expected him to, you know, maybe try a little harder...which Taylor wasn't willing to do - "Taylor refused to agree to contract clause that would require him to participate in 25 of the 39 offseason workout days."

So what we have is a high profile, over the hill, unmotivated, veteran player putting up mediocre numbers while the franchise is out $8 million and two draft picks (2nd/6th rounders).

Sounds about right.
