Jason Taylor Carves Up Big Apple

There's a fear out there Jason Taylor might be going "Hollywood." Maybe he is. But the free agent defensive end/OLB sure isn't going New York.

Taylor, speaking to the Miami Herald said (via the New York Post), said, "It'd be very, very, very difficult (to sign with the Jets). At the end of the day, if I couldn't find a job anywhere else and the Jets called, I guess I'd have to retire or go play.

"The Jets are the Jets. I've had a lot of history saying bad things about Jets fans. The fireman hat guy and all of those people in New York that are Jets fans aren't the ones working on Wall Street. I've said all of those things, so I've got to leave it at that."

Wednesday was the first day of Taylor's football camp in Fort Lauderdale and he told reporters there he's been in contact with the Dolphins already.

Jeff Darlington, Dolphins beat writer for the Miami Herald, says Miami wants to first see if can draft a player capable of making an immediate impact at the spot before signing Taylor.

Meanwhile, the Patriots are also in the mix with Pats owner Robert Kraft playing verbal footsie with Taylor.
