Redskins' Taylor Rejects Plea Offer in Assault Case

It looks like Sean Taylor may be a lost cause. There is no denying his talent on the football field. But these first two offseasons have been an absolute disaster. Given the cloud hanging over his head and the ominous beginning to his professional career, it's almost impossible to see a Pro Bowls unfolding down the road. In fact, if he's convicted of assault and battery, he won't even have a career.

This isn't to say that Kellen Winslow (the other viable and enticing option the Redskins had when they drafted Taylor) would have been better. Obviously, Winslow has had his share of problems. On the plus side, though, Winslow still can have a great career ahead of him. It's harder and harder to see that happening for Sean Taylor.
