JASON TAYLOR QUICKSTEPS OUT OF NFL CONTRACT?: Drama between Dolphins' defensive end and front office escalates after 'DWTS' finale.
*Less than 24 hours after NFL star Jason Taylor finished second to Kristi Yamaguchi in the finals of "Dancing With the Stars" Tuesday night, his day job as defensive end of the Miami Dolphins appeared to be hanging by a thread.
According to the Associated Press, a feud between Taylor and the team's new VP of Football Operations Bill Parcells intensified Wednesday, making it likely that the six-time Pro Bowl player will not be in a Dolphin uniform next season.
Following a voluntary team practice Wednesday — with only Taylor missing — coach Tony Sparano signaled the Dolphins are ready to move on without their top defender.
"I'm glad we know this. We've gotten the information, and that's important," Sparano said. "I know that Jason is not going to be in any minicamps, and I know that right now Jason is not going to be at training camp.
In a recent interview, Taylor said he was unhappy he had talked "probably less than a minute each" with Parcells and new general manager Jeff Ireland, which he perceived as silent treatment.
Taylor was in New York on Wednesday for post-"Dancing" network TV appearances. He planned to fly back to Los Angeles for meetings Friday with executives of Universal and Warner Bros., while the Dolphins hold a voluntary three-day minicamp this weekend.
