Ike Taylor Interested In Following Dick LeBeau To Tennessee

Long-time Steelers CB Ike Taylor mentioned Sunday during an interview with Sirius XM NFL Radio. that he would be willing to follow defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau to Tennessee if the opportunity presented itself.

“If there’s anybody I would follow, it would be him and him only,” Taylor said of LeBeau.

Taylor mentioned that he would consider other opportunities in either broadcasting or as an NFL scout this offseason if things didn’t work out in free agency.

In a previous interview with Pro Football Talk, Taylor said eh would consider switching positions from cornerback to safety, if necessary.

Taylor, 34, agreed to a one-year contract worth $2.75 million with the Steelers last year. However, he sustained a broken forearm that kept him out for two and half months, and later suffered a knee contusion.

There has been a lot of talk that Taylor is unlikely to be back with the Steelers next season, so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him move on.

In 2014, he recorded 16 tackles and two pass defenses over the course of five games. Pro Football Focus has him down for playing just 263 total snaps last season.

While Taylor would easily be able to make the transition to playing for the Titans, it would probably be best for them to target some younger options at cornerback to develop in the coming years.

  1. Ike Taylor is the most overrated cb in possibly NFL history! He sux and I can only hope his sorry ass goes to the shitbag titans! Good riddance loser!

    • what are you a raisins or bagles fan. He was very good at his position over the years. Sounds like you just like to hear yourself whine.

      • What are you an idiot? I’ve been watching that douche for years do nothing but give up huge plays, touchdowns, in his hands dropped balls and countless penalties! Tell me where I’m wrong on that mikee. 24 is a joke and any Steelers fan if being truthful will agree. Sounds like you just like to troll like a bitch and make up gay names for teams.

        • You are some kind of douche! Typical whinner who likes to listen to himself. If he was so bad, he would have been gone long ago. Your opinion is your opinion and opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. You don.t like him, fine, just don’t run him down! Whine on, weinie!

          • I’m the douche? That fat whore you call wife is a douche you fucktard. He would have been long gone? You mean like kordell? Remember him and how long that shitshow lasted?
            You don’t know what you’re talking about, you must have started being a Steelers fan when they drafted Roethlisberger. You’re one of the only people defending this one year wonder. Talk to you soon, hi to the wife.

          • Ike was a good player for a lot of years, is this what fans do? Trash him when he’s down? I know one thing Ike has a whole lot better chance of making the Titan’s roster that you or that other clown does! ( Mr. Lighthouse?)

          • I’m not ripping Ike Taylor. I was trying keep things in perspective a bit.

            I agree that he was good player for them in the past. Things have gone south in recent years, but he was once an asset.

          • How do you know who hes married to, if hes even married at all? He might be with a chick that you jerk off to every night, DOUCHE.

          • Hi will nice to see you being the good Samaritan douchebag. Why don’t you take your rainbow coalition flag and shove it up your ass, cause only a bitch would come to the defense of someone who didn’t need it. I realized I was out of line with Mike not you and apologized so you can go Fuck yourself will and mind your own business.

          • Bite me idiot–whine some more. I am willing to bet you never played football in your life but you know everything about the game! BTW the world is laughing at you now!

          • I get it, you’re a big fan when they win……but not if God forbid they lose! Word-Frontrunner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • How’s he over rated, anyone who’s seen him play the last few years knows he’s not the same player who came into the leauge 12 years ago, but give him his due…..you couldn’t make an NFL roster if your life depended on it.
