Jaguars Show Fred Taylor The Door

Fred Taylor, the longtime running back of the Jacksonville Jaguars, was released Monday ending his 11-year tenure with the team. Taylor was drafted 9th overall in 1998 by Jacksonville and hoped to end his career there. The last couple years he has shared running duties with Maurice Jones-Drew and both have been successful. Last year he was injured and finished with only 556 yards rushing and a career-low 3.9 yards per carry average. Both he and the team realized that Jones-Drew offered the best future for the team and it was time to move on.

Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio offered some encouraging words for other teams that may be interested in Taylor's services, "You don't turn 33 without losing a step, but he's clearly worked hard. He's worked hard to allow himself to play at a high level. To hold off youngsters, you've got to do that, and he's worked his tail off to have that be the case." Taylor ranks 16th on the all-time rushing list with 11,271 yards.

Vick to SF?

According to early reports San Francisco 49ers head coach, Mike Singletary and team President, Jed York were interested in pursuing Michael Vick to become the team's new starting QB when he is released from prison and reinstated to the NFL.  Although those reports are true, a team spokesperson told ESPN that they will not try to acquire Vick.  

On a side note, the 49ers are looking to restructure QB Alex Smith's current contract and bring him back to compete with Shaun Hill during training camp.  They also have not ruled out bringing Jeff Garcia back to the Bay to also compete for the starting quarterback's job.

Favre to Retire

Brett Favre has retired, again. According to reports Favre had informed the New York Jets that he is retiring. Favre played one season in New York after the Jets acquired the future Hall of Fame quarterback in an offseason trade with the Green Bay Packers. After a tremendous start with the Jets last season, Favre and the team collapsed down the stretched and failed to make the playoffs. After the season, the team fired coach Eric Mangini, and Thomas Jones publicly criticized Favre’s play. In his final NFL season, Favre threw 22 touchdown passes and a league-high 22 interceptions, but did lead the Jets to a 9-7 record, a five game improvement over the year before.
