There is mutual interest between the Patriots and Taylor, but Taylor is rehabbing a shoulder injury, and that may be playing a role in New England's (and possibly Miami's) reluctance to sign him now, when he can't participate fully in a team's offseason program.

New England isn't restricted by the Final Eight rule, and could offer more money than the Jets if Bill Belichick is serious about acquiring the former Defensive Player of the Year. The Jets are not expected to sign Taylor before the end of the week. If the Pats want him, though, now is the time to move in.

You know, JT played through his shoulder injury last year.
