Fred Taylor was released today by the Jags. Boy are they stupid, Jack Del Rio was talking and he asked Taylor if he wanted to retire a Jag now or go and try and find another team.

Taylor said he wanted to look for another team and now for the stupid part the Jags aren't trading him to someone out of there division. Now isn't that stupid they could have gotten a draft pick for him.


He clearly wanted to play football so, out of respect to him, were doing this early so hell have a chance to catch on (with another team), Del Rio told reporters on Monday afternoon.
Taylor had said late last season that he would be willing to take a pay cut to stay with the Jaguars, but Del Rio said the team had no such negotiations with Taylor and that the decision to release him was solely for football reasons.

We felt this was best for us going forward. Its time for a younger version, Del Rio added, referring to Jones-Drew, who will become the teams feature running back in 2009.



Boy sounds very familiar. I mean come on now didn't they learn anything from the Packers you don't let a guy do something on his own out of respect you force him to go somewhere you decide.

Sorry Fred i guess the train has left the station and your not on it :thumbright:

Yes, Fred Taylor is on par with a guy like Brett Favre. Who is afraid of a broken down old RB that can't stay healthy anyways?

It's also obvious they would not have gotten any type of draft pick for him.

hahaha, geez DH, you're just an instigator.

This situation is different in so many ways that I can't believe you even try to bait this forum.

Grow up . . . old guy.

Exactly Long for once we agree, someone would of gave up a 4th rounder i believe, I don't think he is done. He won't be an every down back but would be good in a 2 back system, plus the veteran leadership.

It's also a cut on the Packers so many teams release vets out of respect they have for the players unlike the Packers holding Brett hostage.

right, this is no different than sending a 3 time MVP quarterback to a division rival that was arguably a good QB short of being a superbowl favorite.

Fred was 39th in the league in rushing and was nowhere near as effective as his backup. Do you think anybody would have given up a 3rd round pick for Favre after his 2005 or 2006 seasons?

The part i don't understand is that the Packers didn't want Brett and have moved forward oh excuse the words were the train has left the station. So if you don't want him you must think he isn't that good and not be worried about it. The Packers plain and simple dissed Brett. Other teams have shown alot more class including the old Packer Front Office.

If you forget Reggie White retired and decided to come back and the Packers out of respect released him so he could go find another team (but then again i guess Reggie was a has been)

dhazer, you don't know what you're talking about at all when it comes to the Brett Favre leaving Green Bay. You have the material on this very site that gives a far better reasoning as to what happened. No one really knows exactly what happened other than those directly involved, but its not too hard to piece some things together.

Stop being a dumbass, keep in mind BRETT RETIRED. Add that into your god damn thought process.

If anyone wants a thread about Fred Taylor, make one. Leave the bullshit out.
