Jason Taylor’s visit to the Jets has turned into quite the little soap opera.
There have been numerous conflicting reports whether he would sign by the end of the day or not. Taylor prefers to play in Miami, so we’ve doubted the Jets could close the deal so quickly. His agent said as much this morning to the Miami Herald.
Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News added a late afternoon update that a deal is unlikely to be reached tonight.
Fireman Ed was luckily available for comment to represent Jets fans: "[Taylor is] such a meathead,” he said. Dolfans aren’t amused by the thought of Taylor leaving either.
Ed may not be on the welcome wagon yet, but the Jets are pulling out all the stops. The team planned to show Taylor highlights of his career on the team’s new stadium scoreboard.
Why does this feel like the Jets are just trying to add another character for Hard Knocks?
