Jason Taylor, who came in second on last year's "Dancing with the Stars," has been cut from the Washington Redskins because he wanted more family time.

The pro-footballer refused to commit to the team's offseason training so he could spend time with his wife and three children, according to reports.

"He wanted to spend the offseason with his family," his agent told the Associated Press. "He just kind of chose family over going up there."

After competing in the show, he was shipped to Washington by the Miami Dolphins, meaning he spent most of the year apart from his wife and children in Florida.

"He had been away for four months in Los Angeles, then he got back to Miami and then he got traded," his agent added. "He wanted to spend time with his three kids."
