If he had been working out at the Dolphins facility at the time, there probably wouldn't have even been anyone else there.

To the contrary, there were several OTA's taking place that he missed. Albiet all were voluntary.

When your highest tenured team leader put's positioning his post-football career over his teams improvement, it just sends the wrong message. When your team is 1-15, those "voluntary" OTA's take on more meaning than if the team was 11-5.

Again, I believe to a certain degree that both parties share blame in the fall-out in Miami.

1.) Parcells needs to relax his sphincter a bit
2.) For Taylor, there are better times to pursue off-seeason commitments outside of football then when your team is 1-15.

Unless voluntary suddenly means mandatory then I don't know what the big deal is.

I have a feeling that regardless of what JT did, Parcells was going to look to push him out. Dancing with the stars was a very convenient excuse.

Everyone knows they are called voluntary but in reality you gotta be there. I do agree that Parcells had it in for JT and the dancing stuff made a good excuse.

Jason Taylor was not the problem with Miami, he was not responsible for turning their ship around. Hell, he was one of the only players who played well last season.
