Jason Taylor Doesn't Seem Likely To Return To Dolphins

Free agent DE Jason Taylor has had a hell of a run with the Dolphins since they made him a third round draft choice in 1997. The way things stand now, that run has quite possibly ended.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano was asked about Taylor at the NFL owners' meetings in Orlando this week.

“He’s been a super guy for me," Sparano said during an AFC coaches' breakfast. "I enjoyed him. I enjoyed having him on my team. I really did. I enjoyed coaching him."

We don't usually point out grammar in our analysis but the use of the past tense here may be telling to Taylor's future in Miami.

There's little reason for Sparano to lie about this. Though it's been rumored that at least four other teams are interested in Taylor, his preference has always been Miami and I imagine it still is.

As of now, it appears the Dolphins are content to rest on Cameron Wake and Charlie Anderson as their outside linebackers in 2010.
