Last year around this time there were rumors floating around that the Kansas City Chiefs might be interested in unrestricted free agent Jason Taylor.  That's all they were at the time -- rumors -- and Taylor ended up re-signing with the Miami Dolphins.

This time around, Taylor is once again a free agent and there are a handful of teams showing interest, according to Jeff Darlington of the Miami-Herald.

Quick update on Jason Taylor: I'm told he's taking his time w/ FA because there's no salary cap. Four teams are interested, including Miami.    

So three teams are interested in his services. Why might the Chiefs be interested?

I hate to make this connection again but it's the Patriots.

Bill Belichick has repeatedly said he admires Taylor's abilities so, with Scott Pioli in New England much of the same time, you've gotta wonder if he's interested in Taylor as well. Add that to the fact that Bill Parcells is the one who re-signed him last year.

There's no evidence to suggest they are interested but it sure seems like they would be.
