The Washington Redskins have acquired defensive end Jason Taylor from the Miami Dolphins for a couple of draft picks. Taylor has played all of his 11 seasons with the Dolphins. Things between the organization and Taylor has not gone well this offseason. Taylor publicly demanded a trade, adding to the miscommunication between the two parties. Taylor has repeatedly stated since that he did not demand a trade and that he would love to play for the Dolphins. The Redskins, meanwhile, became aggressive in pursuing Taylor when Redskins' defensive end Phillip Daniels injured his Achilles tendon in practice. He will most likely now have to miss the rest of the season, which would leave the Redskins thin at the position. Taylor is now on a team who made the playoffs last year and has a chance to contend this season. The Redskins have a new head coach in Jim Zorn, who previously was the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks. Will this move solidify the defensive end position for the Redskins? Are the Dolphins happy they finally was able to get rid of Taylor? How long will Taylor stick around in the NFL?
