Yeah it makes you wonder what these NFL players are getting themselves into. RIP ST

 

anyone else think it might have been some sort of inside job?

 

I don't think he signed an extension. But my bets are with Snyder taking care of his family.

Also - did you hear that when his house was broken in to last week, nothing was stolen, but they left a knife on his bed? How odd is that? Was that a sign?

Ughhhh all these questions and really only time will tell

RIP ST21

 

RIP to the hardest hitting DB in the league.... 24 is too young to die esp. w/ a baby girl.


His dad is also a police chief in Florida, and along with the knife that was left a week ago in his house, somethings just don't add up..

 

yeah stuff doesnt add up to me but bottom line is hes dead, he left a fiance and a little girl who has to grow up without a father. thats not right.

 

To answer the contract question:

"The bulk of Sean's contract - which he signed after being drafted in the first round in 2004 - was already due to him in the form of signing and roster bonuses. Some of those payments may have been deferred, but for cap purposes, they have already been charged to the team. Taylor made $12.3 million in bonus payments (and roughly $2 million in base salary) between 2004-2007, and will count $2.5 million against Washington's cap next season, according to sources with knowledge of the contract.

After checking with the NFL and NFLPA, it appears that the Redskins can not apply for a credit for that sum. They could however, by the letter of the law of the CBA, try to recoup some of the bonuses already paid to Sean, given that this related from a non-football situation, but no one expects anything like that to happen and in fact owner Daniel Snyder has been exceedingly generous with his players in times of crisis in the past.

Taylor was due $1.1 million in base salary this season (including a $500,000 escalator he earned through his 2006 performance), and the Redskins could end up getting a cap credit for the prorated portion remaining of that against the 2007 cap.

Sean was to receive base salaries of $865,000 and $1.1 million the following two years, while his contract was voidable in 2010. In reality, he would have signed a massive new contract extension with the Redskins sometime in 2008 or 2009 in all likelihood.

Sean was fully vested in the NFL pension program and his beneficiary will get survivor's benefits and a life insurance payment through the NFL/NFLPA of at least $350,000, league sources said. He was not yet fully vested in the annuity plan; that would have happened after this season."

i took it out last night...

i'm just saying...if TO died, I wouldn't go to the dallas forum and post "RIP T.O. btw Go redskins"...seems pretty bastardly to me.

 

I haven't followed NFL football much so I'll have to read up on events before saying too much but from what I hear from friends, he was a violent guy on and off the field.

 

They've been talking about it non-stop on the radio the past 2 days and my head is starting to spin. Everyone is calling with their conspiracy theories from the neighbors being involved to him accidentally shooting himself to the gf setting it up. I doubt it was an inside job, but his dad is police chief of one of Miami's worst ghettos (Florida City) and his SUV was shot up at one time. So it seems pretty safe to say he was targeted.

 

He definitely was...but based on comments by many of his teammates and Coach Gibbs, Gregg Williams, and Dan Snyder..that part of his mentality changed after his daughter was born. obviously theres no way to know what the truth is, but each person will believe what they want to believe.

it is easy to agree on one thing though, he didn't let many ppl into his personal life...and that is why this whole thing is so mysterious.

 

We all know I love my Cowboys and all that, but seriously man, you can't go flaunting your loyalty in this situation. We all know the Redskins fans talked a lot of sh*t about TO and his situation last year, saying, ''Cowgirl broke his finger, dropped a lot of passes and now he wants to kill himself,'' but have some class. A young guy 24 years old, with a fiance and a daughter, just got killed. IMO it definately seems like he was into something that he shouldn't have been in, but all that aside it's very sad. RIP

 

+1, I had just heard from a couple articles that had interviewed a couple of the players and coaches that he had changed, no way of knowing the truth but thats whats being said

 

yea, the whole cover of the sports section in the post was full of those articles

 

Yes, this is truely a sad situation, I was I Rockvile coming from a doctors appointment when I heard the news. My heart sunk for a minute because they said "Our heart goes out to the family of Redskin safety..." because my cousin Pierson plays for the Redskins and he also plays safety and wears #20, but she finished the statemant by saying Sean Taylor number 21. I was happy that it wasn't Pierson, but I was still really sadden by the fact that I young man died!!!! RIP Sean, We will miss you!!!!

 

ST was one of my favorite players and will be dearly missed. I'll be at the game Sunday, it's going to be a tough game to go to but I wouldn't miss it for anything. We will be tailgating if any MY350Z guys are at the game and want to stop over.

 

I will be at the game also. All ST jerseys are sold out at the Redskins store.

 

your cousin plays for the Skins ? that's awesome !
