Belichick:
“Jason Taylor was the player I coached against the most times and may also be the one
who ruined the most games so his retirement is met with some mixed reactions in New England. Jason was a relentless competitor, a game changer and I congratulate him on a truly remarkable career.”
Brady (pretty humorous from TB12):
“I couldn’t have been happier – for Jason and his family, of course – to learn that Jason Taylor was finally retiring. We have had to battle him twice a year for more than a decade. While I had a tremendous amount of respect for Jason when I first entered the league, my admiration for him only grew through our rivalry on the field and our friendship off of it. For 15 seasons, he was one of the league’s most dominant defenders. He was a tenacious pass rusher and as fierce as a competitor as you will find. The NFL will miss his presence on Sundays, but I for one will not. I wish Jason and his family the very best in his retirement and look forward to seeing him … off the field.”
