Washington Redskins Sign Jason Taylor

The Washington Redskins opened training camp earlier today, and they are off to a rocky start. Let's look at the bad news first. D-End Phillip Daniels hurt his knee in the morning session, and was carted off. The reports are he will likely miss the entire season. Not exactly the best of news for a team that was already short at the defensive end position.

However, there is help, major help on the way.

Dolphins needed a player. What a blow to a 5-6 win season. I hope that 2nd rounder gets us a kick@ss player.

If JT was such a game buster how do you explain 1-15? Dolphins needed 52 players, what's one more.

I don't know if your comment really makes sense, but JT has single handedly won at least 3-4 games the past few seasons. Mike Vick did it for Atl. Some people are that good. To give up a guy like that and not get one body in return? Plus he played LB, DE, long snap and a lil TE. This dude was Defensive player of the year two seasons ago.

Vick cost more games than he won by far

no truth at all...jason taylor is not going to play for the redskins, why would he leave one bad team to come to another bad team

What was it like, as an Eagles fan, to watch the Redskins in the playoffs last year?

All I can say is, "WOO HOO!" One more reason to watch the Redskins this season. PHILLY! The Skins aren't bad. They're success challenged as of late. But not bad.

Hopefully they are better this year...It puzzled me last season when they kept losing..I was like WHY??? They have all these weapons and no execution.

Congrats Redskins! Eagles could've done this....front office Jackass

i think its a great move for my skins. 6th rounder is not a blow at all and hopefully taylor pushes that second rounder into a late second round pick

The Skins are a LOT better team than da Fish. Washington is a couple of key positions away from the playoffs, and JT just made it one less. Welcome to the Beltway, JT!

Nice article, but not to be that guy... the Redskins didn't sign Taylor they traded for him.

hatepaste...how did i like watching the redskins in the playoffs? i loved it...how bad did they lose? yea pretty bad, id rather not be in a wildcard game then get embarresed

That's just ignorant.

I guarantee every single member of the Eagle's would take a playoff spot rather than watching the playoffs. They would take that trade ALL DAY EVERYDAY.

Its a great move for the skins, but you can't help but wonder why the eagles didn't try to pull this off themselves. we all know they like getting d-linemen and im sure they had a couple of picks to burn.
but the Dolphins? In the words of Dave Chappelle "They F'ed Up"

JT made it clear he didn't want to be at the Phins and was turning into a one man media circus in Miami, threatening to sulk his way through the final year of his contract. The Phins now get a 2nd and 6th for him. How did they "F Up"?

that may be true but what do they have left on D?

Same as before: a line that gets steamrolled on the run and a secondary that gets burned on the pass. Oh yeah... And a second rounder, some cap room and rid of the media circus that was trailing round after JT :-)

Seriously P05 - they had a 33y/o JT last season and went 1-15. How much of a difference was a disinterested 34y/o JT gonna make in a season of rebuilding...?

Da NFC BEAST is getting better and better

The NFC East will have no pushovers this year...hot dawg!

Nooo! I hate the fact the skins got him. I would even rather see Philly get him before the skins. But at least he is not in our division, that is the only bright spot I see coming out of this situation this year, hopefully we will make wise decisions with these draft choices and not the usual busted decisions we've made in the past.

This Season the Least Record in the NFC EAST will be 7-9 an u best believe the Eagles wont be that team i say first or 2nd place but to be honest with u eagles will be in first place for the first few weeks an battle it out with probably Dallas.... All in all Eagles finish off there season 12-4.....

Redskins Finish off 10-6 dallas 9-7 giants 7-9

hey call me crazy but no one expected the Houston Texans to be good or the vikings for that matter..... so why cant the redskins do better but anything can happen all i know is that the Eagles are the NFC EAST Black horse an they wont back down this yr.....

I know this wont happen but it would be funny if the Eagles had a season like 03-04 where they went 13-3 an there Division all went 6-10 thats a shame but since the NFC is so tough (east) they wont have such a low record...

first of all, they didnt SIGN him, they TRADED for him. second of all, lets remember all the other big name players skins got at the end of thier careers that were busts. Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Adam Archeleta, Mark Brunell. Every time the redskins acquire a pro-bowler, they never return to the pro-bowl.

Eagles 12 - 4, Cowboys 10 - 6, Redskins 9-7. Giants 6 - 10

Tommy the Cat i tottally agree The Eagles on paper are the more complete team as is dallas but Eagles can get over the hump n can win the playoffs they snap out of these low-drum seasons and come back strong Remember 05 they were 6-10 than they turned it around to 10-6 this past season yes i know we lost cruicial games to Playoff caliber teams an almost won with those 4 or 5 games we could of easily had 11-12 games won The Eagles on Paper are the only Team that Can make the playoffs yr in and yr out an win at least 2 games if not all the playoff games til the superbowl comes around Giants had only 2 playoff appearance last yr n the yr before this yr they made it all they way last yr they lost to us eagles... cowboys need to win Games playoff games before speaking of SB or even the NFC championship..... And redskins even though they can be good they still to me are pretenders but should see a little light to a playoff (wildcard) but for a tough division this season may only have 2 teams go to the playoffs.... once the Redskins played in the playoffs they looked like regular season team instead of the playoff team they made themselves out to be...

I have no clue how this went from a Skins post to an Eagles post, but whatever. I knew Snyder couldnt go an offseason without signing some big name player; bringing him to Washington and have an awful year. Good luck Jason

i Changed it to an eagles convo....... LOL gotta add the eagles if it has to involve the nfc east

And Jason Taylor wont really improve the Redskins Defense much.... here an there but it dont really make sense cuz so many yrs on the dolphins an never left the team an now that they suck and he has like what a yr or so to play he wants to go to the Redskins hey he could help who am i to say he wont but with one of there Defensive ends not playing cuz of injury isnt good..... at all 2 start the season

the eagles wouldnt of needed jason taylor anyway, jason taylor has 1 year left to play and he will retire...he used to be good but last year wasnt that great...the eagles have a probowler in trent cole, and now they have chris clemons, who didnt even start and still had 10 sacks..i say the defense of philadelphia is better off without some 35 year old defensive end who would rather dance then show up to practice

but hey i give 2 thumbs up to Big Tuna(Parcells) why because he is Revamping the Dolphins to something at least promising come the next few yrs plus the Advantage is that One parcells gets along with most NFL coaches an another thing is he has advantage to make trades with his former NFC EAST divisional teams an the other teams on that Division i truly give him that cuz other than being a good coach or for being a good coach(past Tense) he knows what to do an whats best for a Team even if it may hurt them later or earlier it will pay dividends at some point... All we know is Parcells can always rely on the Cowboys or Giants or Eagles or Redskins just in case he needs round picks or trade player for player... Just look what he has done he has either Realised a player from the Dolphins which has ended up in Dallas ( Zack Thomas) Traded with the Eagles an 08 fourth round pick an we got a Weapon Booker an than trade there player Taylor with the Redskins...... it seems he would only make deals with teams he trust the NFC EAST BABYYYYY...... lol

I have no clue how this went from a Skins post to an Eagles post, but whatever. I knew Snyder couldnt go an offseason without signing some big name player; bringing him to Washington and have a s*^#*y year. Good luck Jason

its a great move for the skins, hope it doesn't work out well for them.

it gives them a much needed fill for that position and it didn't really take that much to get him!!! he's got 2-3 yrs left in the tank!!! the skins never draft anyway!!! it was smart move for them!!! better they get him than dallass or the vagiants!!!

Hopefully everything will work out for everybody because I love football and I am ready for the season to start. I hope that this season has more exciting games.

i hear ya there.... it just never can get here fast enuff
