Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor wants out of Miami — but that he has resigned himself to the fact that it’s not his decision.

Per Salguero, Taylor would like to leave town and play for a team that’s not in a rebuilding phase. But considering that he has two years left on his contract, Taylor understands that he might not have that option.

And although Taylor could try to make waves publicly in an effort to convince the Dolphins to trade or release him, Salguero reports that agent Gary Wichard has convinced him that any type of public confrontation with new Dolphins boss Bill Parcells would be unlikely to achieve Taylor’s desired result.

However, while the team he plays for in 2008 is not Taylor’s decision, he does have the right to make the decision not to play for any team at all. If Taylor chooses to retire, there’s nothing the Dolphins can do to stop him. And as he gets set to appear on Dancing With the Stars, Taylor may also be getting set for a post-football career in television.
