Well, as in any workplace... a happy employee is typically a productive employee. A disgruntled one typically isn't. This is common sense. Taylor is nearing the end of his career... he could just plain retire rather than deal with the BS.

While I respect Parcells ability to turn a team around, his method of picking out one aging superstar who had a very good year and pissing him off makes no sense to me. Long term or short term.

You hold people accountable who had bad seasons (and the 'Phins are full of them). Not the ones who actually produced. This too is common sense.

Taylor has little trade value and can help the team this season.
Rumour is that the 'Phins tried to trade him but were asking too much. Reportedly a 1st round pick.

Jared Allen was traded from KC to Minnesota this offseason. For a 1st round pick, two 3rd round picks, and the two teams swapping their 6th round pick.

Taylor is 33 years old, and Allen is much younger with potentially a great career ahead of him (if he can stay out of legal trouble). I think that the 'Phins were stupid for asking so much. He has even less trade value now with all this drama going on...

Geez... Between him and Burgess, what a sack combo! If Taylor doesn't get "old" overnight. I guess one of them would have to play the strongside too... and deal with a TE helping the OT out.
