Jags cut RB Taylor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have released running back Fred Taylor, the latest move in the team's makeover.

Taylor was scheduled to make about $6 million next season, so getting rid of the 11-year veteran was no surprise since he had clearly become the second option behind Maurice Jones-Drew.

The Jaguars might try to re-sign the 33-year-old back. But Taylor has made it clear he still believes he can be a starter in the NFL.

Taylor is 16th on the NFL's all-time rushing list with 11,271 yards, 81 behind John Riggins. He had 556 yards on the ground last season, splitting time with Jones-Drew, and averaged a career-low 3.9 yards a carry behind an injury-riddled offensive line.

The Jaguars released veterans Jerry Porter and Drayton Florence last week.

I personally think this guy can still run the ball and make a good contribution for a team "if" he can stay health

I'd take him for my team but not starting RB pay and sign him to a one year deal

[Mr. IWS]

He was/is one of my favorite players in the NFL. He will sign somewhere for sure. That OL he had last years was horrible. He would be good on a team with an already established back and get like 10-15 touches a game.

Taylor ends up in NE

I agree. Would have loved to see him in philly, but he will do well up there.
