Miami Dolphins defensive end (and star dancer) Jason Taylor attempted to buy a private island off of St. Thomas named Great St. James in 2004.

However, the seller of the largely undeveloped private island couldn't comply with the requirements for the closing.

Five years later, a jury awarded Taylor and two partners the sum of $1.5 million (returned deposit), according to the Associated Press.

Coincidentally, that is the amount Taylor will earn this season as he returns to the Dolphins.

He would have earned roughly $7 million more this season if he weren't cut by the Redskins, who wanted Taylor to participate in the majority of their off-season program.

Personally, I feel for Taylor. Don't you just hate it when you can't smoothly acquire a private island? What's this world coming to?
