Just a year after trading a 2nd and 6th round draft picks for defensive end Jason Taylor the Washington Redskins have released the former defensive player of the year due to his lack of workout commitment.

“He wanted to spend the offseason with his family,” Taylor’s agent, Gary Wichard said. “He just kind of chose family over going up there.”

The Redskins wanted Taylor to attend atleast 75% of their offseason workouts; when he didn’t, the ‘Skins didn’t hesitate to cut him.

“Jason Taylor was a real professional during his time with the Redskins,” Redskins coach Jim Zorn said. “He played hurt, but still gave his best effort to be prepared and play hard every week. We wish him and his family the very best.”

If Taylor still wants to play football he won’t have a hard time finding a team. But his commitment to football is very questionable right now.
