Sean Taylor's generosity might have led to a botched robbery at his Palmetto Bay home last year, according to interrogations released Wednesday.

Jason Mitchell, one of four men charged in the Washington Redskins star's murder, told Miami-Dade detectives that Taylor gave wads of cash -- $10,000 each -- to Taylor's brother and sister.

The siblings, Sasha and Jamal Johnson, flashed the cash in front of their friends during Sasha's September birthday party.

"I was just like, 'That's a lot of money,'" Mitchell said to police on Nov. 30, four days after the killing.

Mitchell, 20, also told detectives that Taylor gave him $300 -- ''in all 50s'' -- for helping mow Taylor's lawn before the party.
