Jason Taylor to the Redskins...

[BuddyLee]

...for a 2009 2nd round pick and a 2010 6th round pick.

Good deal.

the part that sucks is Phillip Daniels is out for the year

"The deal came about nine hours after starting defensive end Phillip Daniels was carted away from the practice field at Redskins Park with a season-ending left knee injury on Day 1 of training camp."

True. They made the deal because big Phil and Alex Buzbee are now out for the year.

What's strange is that losing Phil and Buz actually made the team better.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Jason Taylor is leaving the only NFL team he's known, going from the Miami Dolphins to the Washington Redskins in a trade Sunday.
The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010 for Taylor.

The six-time Pro Bowl defensive end -- who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year -- fell out of favor in Miami after spending his offseason on the TV show "Dancing With the Stars" rather than working out with teammates.

The deal came about nine hours after starting defensive end Phillip Daniels was carted away from the practice field at Redskins Park with a season-ending left knee injury on Day 1 of training camp.

It also came only about 1 ½ hours after Washington executive vice president Vinny Cerrato told reporters: "We haven't talked to anybody about anything."
Cerrato said Taylor is expected to report to training camp on Monday.

"We're fortunate there was a guy that caliber on the market when somebody got hurt," Cerrato said. "Normally, in most years, there's not a guy of that caliber on the market."

The 33-year-old Taylor has played 11 NFL seasons and he's started every game each of the past eight years.

He had 11 sacks during the 2007 season, giving him 117 over his career.
"His play speaks for itself. I think it's easy to talk about Jason Taylor. He's got statistics and everything else to back up everything that he's done," Cerrato said.

Taylor has said he planned to play only one more season.
But Cerrato said Taylor has two years left on his contract and added: "I'm 100 percent positive he'll play longer than one year."

You can still root for him.

I knew you'd add decent commentary.

I told Ott during Dancing With The Stars that Jason had the finest a## I've even seen on a man.

I was raised to despise the Redskins. It is going to be hard.

Just pretend he's in teal and orange while he's sacking the Cowboys QB.

Maybe he'll work out, but I don't like picking up malcontents from other teams, no matter what their stats. Snyder/Cerrato have a history of picking up ex All Pro's that don't amount to much.

Bruce Smith part deux.

Bruce Smith part deux.

Bruce Smith was about 3 yrs older, I believe, when they picked him up.

Seen too much of Jason Taylor on the airwaves lately, nothing to do with football(Dancing with the Stars..etc)..Just have a feeling that he has left football behind, has he gone Hollywood?..Something has to be up if the skins got him for a 2nd and a 6th. Seems to me his value should be a number 1, at the least.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[getbent]

You Redskins can't have my man Jason. He's mine I tell you, MIIIINNNNEEE!

My avatar pic was taken at last years Fins vs. Skins game. Dolphin's all the way.

Maybe.

Other teams weren't lining up to sign him up for a #1 pick. A lot of people were whispering to Parcells to just cut Taylor. I think it's about an even trade if he stays on the team for at least two years with the average production he's been giving.

If he takes the double team away from Andre Carter we 'could' be a force on defense. Everything always looks better on paper though, especially with the Skins.

All in all, it brings some excitement to training camp and the season and helps to fill a major hole.
