The Facts: Taylor did not attend Monday's opening session or participate in Tuesday's on-field running and agility work. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said Taylor's continued absence from the offseason program is "between Fred and the team." Taylor also missed part of the 2003 offseason program -- the first under head coach Jack Del Rio -- because he was in the middle of talks that later produced a long-term contract extension.

Diehards Line:Taylor, who has been the Jaguars' rushing leader in five of his seven NFL seasons, is coming off knee surgery in January. Rosenhaus declined comment when asked if Taylor's absence was related to his knee surgery. Paul Vance, the Jaguars' senior vice president of football operations, said he was unaware of any dispute between Taylor and the team.
