Jason Taylor’s NFL career may or may not continue after a solid but unspectacular year in New York. If it was up to Taylor, his career would continue -- with the Jets

“I’d love to come back and play one more year in New York,” Taylor said on NFL Live Monday, via our friends at Rotoworld. (Oh, who are we kidding? It’s Silva.)

It remains to be seen if the Jets want him. They released him in February because of Taylor’s big salary. Rex Ryan didn’t rule out the possibility earlier this offseason, but writers around the team doubt Taylor will be back.

If Taylor truly wants to keep playing, regardless of contract, it’s possible the Patriots will show interest again. Bill Belichick reportedly called Taylor plenty last year as a free agent, although New England apparently wasn’t willing to give him much of a contract.
