HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Jason Taylor, a six-time Pro Bowl defensive end, wanted to clear the air on numerous topics.

No, he did not demand a trade from the Miami Dolphins. Yes, he wants to play one more season before moving on to an acting career. No, he hasn't spoken with new Dolphins boss Bill Parcells. Yes, he believes Tony Sparano will be a good coach in Miami. No, he doesn't regret missing some workouts to appear on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

But on one issue — whether he will be at training camp with the Dolphins next month — Taylor showed he can dance while seated, too.

"Do I want to be here? Yeah, I'd love to be here," Taylor said Sunday during a 30-minute question-and-answer session. "I would love to be a Dolphin and win games and have it work out for everybody. But that may not be the case."

Taylor, 33, seemed to be choosing his words carefully.

He denied widespread reports suggesting his side has demanded a trade. He also acknowledged if Miami — 1-15 last season — wants to move him, he won't argue.

"I want to win in '08," Taylor said. "That's what I want to do."

Notes

• Police in Buffalo said they are investigating a hit-and-run accident involving a sport-utility vehicle registered to Bills running back Marshawn Lynch, but said they didn't know whether Lynch, 22, was in the SUV when it reportedly struck and injured a female pedestrian at around 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

• Mike Vanderjagt, 38, ex-Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys kicker, took part in practice with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. He was cut from the Cowboys in 2006.

Vanderjagt is with Toronto for a second time; he helped the Argos win the Grey Cup in 1996 and 1997.
