    Although several Internet reports incorrectly had the Dolphins sending Jason Taylor to the Buccaneers, Miami indeed is open to trading its star defensive end.

    Taylor visited players in the locker room and was received warmly during that visit. Then he tried to visit with coach Tony Sparano and Parcells. But Sparano only talked to him about his missing the offseason program. And Parcells wouldn't talk to him at all.

    Taylor was livid when he left the Dolphins training facility that day over the perceived disrespect.

    Parcells could not be reached for comment about the matter and Taylor's agent, Gary Wichard, did not return a phone message left on his cellphone.

    Whether Taylor is with the team or not in 2008, the Dolphins seem to be preparing for a future without the 33-year-old Taylor. They picked Clemson defensive end Phillip Merling with their first pick of the second round Saturday.

    Well I would hope at this point we expect 3 picks for him, because a 3rd and 4th are less than his value IMHO.

    Well I saw it out late last night on the web. I believe PFT stated that their was a deal in place but it was called off looks like it was JT that iced it because of the contract dollars. He would have had to renegotiate and he wasn't willing to do that.

    If there is one thing that Parcell's and Co will not put up with is side deals or prima donnas, if JT felt disrespected, what are the Coaches supposed to feel about the situation?

    They are with the Roster and working them hard, JT is dancing with the stars, should they say "gee JT, luv ya babe, do what you will, meanwhile scrub player ZXY has increased his squat by 50 pounds.....hugs and kisses"?
