Taylor was almost a Patriot
You all saw Jason Taylor racing down the field for a 48-yard touchdown off a fumble recovery today, a pivotal play in an important AFC East game. Now imagine Taylor doing that in Patriot colors. It almost happened after Taylor was cut by the Redskins during the offseason. "We talked with them, with the organization, and with Bill (Belichick)," Taylor told the Globe. "My heart was in Miami, my family was in Miami, so it was important for me to try to stay there. But if it didn't work out in Miami, then I probably would've been there."

Either that or July. Unless it was May.
Then again, who wouldn't want Jason Taylor at this point?

Is he flexing and giving a fan the "you want some of this" look in that picture.

He has got to be laughing his ass off, so happy that he got away from that train wreck.

Another brilliant decision by Washington, right up there with Al Davis giving Randy Moss away because his legs were shot. Good for Taylor, keeping his family in Miami vs. chasing a championship or more money. I'm glad to see him doing well, especially when he helps the Fins beat the Jests like that.

jason taylor is awesome on defense and i think he should stay in the dolphins because he has great height (6.6) so he can pick the ball of or he can even cause a fumble or smack it down.

As a Dolphins fan, I am sure glad that didn't happen!
I think that Taylor and Parcells got into a pissing contest when Parcells came in and Taylor was already contracted to do "Dancing with the Stars." The Egos involved were so large that there just wasn't any way to resolve the issue peacefully.
Once Jason went to the Skins and the Skins had another lousy season, both parties had a chance to calm down and take a breath, and they were able to come to an agreement to have Jason come back to where he should be.

Taylor is smart enough to know that there's life after football...moreover, Thomas' sister took him to the cleaners, so he has to keep earning.
