Skins acquire Jason Taylor

Redskins defensive end Phillip Daniels suffered an injury Sunday to his anterior cruciate knee ligament, according to a source, a potentially season-ending injury that could lead to Jason Taylor coming to Washington.

Following the morning practice, the Redskins started working on trade discussions to replace him. According to another source, talks are underway with the Miami Dolphins for Taylor, who started the offseason by asking to go to a contending team.

Man I hope this goes down for something like a 3rd with the ability to be upgraded to a 2nd based on performance. Snyder, SLOW DOWN, don't regress back to your old ways of overpaying for old talent, you've been doing good the past couple years.

Damn initial reports were just a hyper extension. So basically for DE's that leaves us in crap. Andre Carter you don't worry about on one side because he is a pro bowl performer but outside of him you have Demetric Evans who is solid but a backup. Chris Wilson is a good pass rusher but gets eaten on the run, and Erasumus James is still on the injury list. If we can get JT cheap, I mean 3rd-4th round cheap, than fine, but I'm not panicking and giving up my house for him.

Before the draft the Dolphins were looking for a first rounder in return. Now his value currently streches anywhere from a 2nd-3rd depending on who you ask.

Taylor can remain an impact player on any defense and the Skins should certainly look very hard into the matter as I believe is the case. The defense was very thin at the position to begin with in my opinion and it goes without saying that an addition of this magnitude could serve as the catalyst needed to propel this team further into the upper echelon of the NFC.

wow....what a miserable day for the redskins defense......can Taylor play CB too?

[703SKINS202]

......F!!!

That would be excellent for the Skins' because they seem to lack a good pass-rush, if they had Jason Taylor lining up at DE that would be an excellent addition to their defense.

The Skins already have a great LB corp. so with the help of Jason Taylor they could easily be playoff contenders once again.

From rotoworld:

Redskins DE Alex Buzbee will miss the 2008 season after rupturing his Achilles' tendon on the first day of training camp Sunday.
Unbelievable. The Skins couldn't have dreamt up worse luck, losing starting LE Phillip Daniels and now promising Buzbee, who was to compete for nickel rushing duties. Erasmus James (knee) is also hurt, so Washington is going to have to make some additions. A Redskins official denied the team is pursuing Jason Taylor, but expect a strong push to be made this week.

[Gay Ork Wang]

well how about we trade them Dan Bazuin for a 2-3 rounder? :DD

[doingthisinsteadofwork]

I thought Taylor would wanna go to a SB caliber team.

hey, at least we stopped the streak of "WTF??!!??! SRSLY!!!?!?!" 2nd round picks from small schools this year.....I think we all had about enough of that, lol

they probably wouldn't give that high of a pick to us for him anyway now.......

He wanted to go to a playoff team once you get there any thing can happen I don't really think the Skins are a SB caliber team but I thought the same thing about the G-Men.

Lol, if he thinks the Redskins are a contending team.. ;)

All seriousness aside, i hope the Dolphins rob the 'Skins of a second round pick or so. They're used to giving those away, so i'll really have a kick if they give up that good of a pick for a one year rental.

Not official yet, but it looks like a 2nd rounder for Taylor.

[LonghornsLegend]

FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer reports that the Dolphins have agreed to send DE Jason Taylor to the Redskins in exchange for a 2009 second-round draft choice.

Great deal for the Dolphins...Skins should of probably targeted a DE in the draft over a TE that early, the WR's were fine but TE was more surprising with the pass rushing DE's available.

wow that was fast

[703SKINS202]

For those who don't think the skins are a contending team, you're wrong. We went through so many injuries and adversities last year, I mean Sean Taylor was murdered in the middle of the season and somehow this team dug down deep and made it into the playoffs. We also put up a good fight in Seattle almost winning in one of the toughest stadiums to play in the entire NFL. People hate on the skins for Snyder I guess but if you truly follow the NFL the Skins are a playoff caliber team and that alone makes you a SB contender.

2nd rounder 2009 and 6th rounder 2010

[703SKINS202]

Damn right in the middle of my post the news breaks. I'm kind of mad they jumped the gun this early a 2nd round draft pick is a lot to give up especially since they don't know Taylors intentions for the future. O well we really need him I'll take a DPOY who still has it.

[draftguru151]

Well we got the 2nd rounder. Next year is going to be awful to watch.

It is hard though to be considered a playoff contender if ur not even the 2nd best team in ur own division...

True but the NFC East is the best division in football we put 3 in last year and it can happen again . Plus, its not set in stone that the Giants and Cowboys will finish ahead of the Eagles and Redskins, anything can happen its just ludicrous to mock the redskins as a poor football team which they are clearly not.

[Gay Ork Wang]

i do not, but to say they are a clearcut Playoff contender is wrong. And Playoff Contenders are not the same as SB contenders, at least not in predictions

I never said they were a clearcut playoff contender but that they are a playoff caliber team. Playoff contenders aren't the same as SB contenders in predictions you're right, but what good is that? Giants won the superbowl they weren't superbowl contenders in the predictions but they still got their rings.
