With Jason Taylor Back…Who Goes?
The Miami Dolphins have Jason Taylor already listed on the official roster as a LB. The Phins already have 13 LB’s on the roster. A couple of those names are camp guys. Maybe a practice squad player or two and nothing more. Some of those are ILB’s who will not be directly affected by the [...]

Jason Taylor Returning to Miami Dolphins
It appears Jason Taylor has not played his final game for the Miami Dolphins. After being traded to the Washington Redskins last season (because — let’s be honest — team Executive VP of Football Ops Bill Parcells didn’t like Jason’s involvement on “Dancing With the Stars”), it was pretty clear Jason’s days in Miami were [...]Post from: Every Morning Quarterback

by Scott Benson, Patriots Daily Staff
I never thought Jason Taylor would end up signing with the Patriots, but it was still kind of surprising to hear of his earlier-than-expected return to the Miami Dolphins yesterday.
The conventional wisdom was that Taylor would wait out the upcoming OTA’s and mini-camps before committing. Apparently not.
I was never a [...]Post...

And much as it's nice to have him back I can't forget the speed he ran when we finished 1-15. Suddenly we go 11-5 and he's coming home? Pardon the cynicism but Puh-Lease! LOL. At least we know his acting career will be successful!
Good deal from the front office though. They offload him and his big contract then bring him back a year later with an extra 2nd rounder and a drastically reduced contract. God it's nice to have an F.O. that knows what they're doing at last :)
Most teams would run and succeed on the money the Redskins have wasted these past years.
