OTA's kicked off this week at Redskins Park, but if your first name is Shawn - or Sean - you must not have gotten the memo.  Both Shawn Springs and Sean Taylor are no-shows for the Organized Team Activities so far, and no one really knows quite when either will show up, if at all.  Of course the OTA's are voluntary so it doesn't really matter.  Officially. 

Shawn Springs is still working out in Arizona and probably expecting to get cut or traded pretty soon, so I don't blame him one bit for staying away (7.2 Mil. against this year's cap...).   Sean Taylor is another matter.  Seems Sean and his agent, the nefarious Drew Rosenhaus, think that he should be getting a contract extension right about now, especially since his Safety-Mate LeRon Landry is going to be an extremely rich man very soon...richer than Sean Taylor as a matter of fact.  Unfortunately for Taylor, anyone with two eyes knows that Sean Taylor wasn't exactly the cream of the crop last year and that he basically made the Pro Bowl on name and not performance. That may be their unspoken reasoning for wanting an extension now - what if Sean Taylor has another average year and Landry makes him look like an amateur?  That future paycheck is getting smaller by the minute.

Sean Taylor can hit you so hard you'll cry for your momma, but if he misses tackles and takes bad angles this year like he did last year, AND hits people late in about one-fourth of your games, does he really deserve a contract extension now?  On the other hand, well, Sean Taylor can hit you so hard you'll cry for your momma.  'Nuff said.  Maybe we should jump at the opportunity to lock him up for another 5 years while he could be cheaper than at the end of a magnificent season.

What do you think, Harry Hog Nation?

Hail!

John
