REPORT: Dolphins to sign Jason Taylor today

For a while, it didn't look like there was going to be a Jason Taylor reunion in Miami in 2009. But that all has seemingly changed. The Sun-Sentinel is reporting that the Miami Dolphins are expected to sign Jason Taylor later today.
The Miami Herald is reporting that GM Jeff Ireland and Taylor's agent, Gary Wichard, have been in talks since very early this morning and that the two sides are close to announcing the deal. It's believed to be a one year deal worth up to $1.5 million, according to ESPN.
And just like that, it seems like the unlikely reunion is actually going to happen and one of South Florida's legendary icons will be coming to play for the city he clearly loves. In fact, the Herald is reporting that Taylor told the Dolphins he would play for "whatever they wanted to pay him." And a source tells the Herald that Taylor never intended on playing for any other team. He wanted to come home to Miami and he made sure his agent got him home to Miami.
The Dolphins traded Taylor to the Redskins last offseason in exchange for a 2nd round draft pick - a pick that turned into Pat White in last month's draft. In his one season in Washington, Jason was plagued by a serious calf injury. He played in 13 games in Washington, starting just 8 and tallying just 3.5 sacks.
In his 11 seasons in Miami, Taylor holds the Dolphins' franchise record for career sacks with 117.
In a statement released by Taylor today, Jason says:
"My heart has always been in Miami and so I'm truly excited to call myself a Dolphin once again. I was presented with a number of different opportunities, but in the end the combination of this being the best situation for my family, my love for this community and my tremendous loyalty to a great organization made this an easy decision."
Armando Salguero also has an interesting piece of information for us, telling us that Taylor had been in contact with Tony Sparano even before the Fins signed him:
Taylor has been in constant contact with coach Tony Sparano as the two have texted messages back and forth for some time. Sparano went so far as giving Taylor the basics of the Dolphins offseason workout program in hopes Taylor would follow its parameters on his own.
Taylor hired a personal trainer and has been doing the Dolphins program. Taylor will join the program as soon as he signs.

Reviewing the Dolphins/Redskins trae
Redskins get:
DE Jason Taylor for 2008
Dolphins get:
2009 2nd Round pick (SW Pat White)
2010 6th Round pick (Unknown Yet)
DE Jason Taylor before and after 2008
SW=Super Weapon, btw, There is too many positions to write down beside Pat White’s name.
Hmm. Wonder who won this trade?
NOT!!!
Wow, great job Miami. That is easily one of the most lopsided trades I’ve ever seen, and you guys are on the winning side, big time.
YES!!!
This has made a terrible day I have been having to an amazing day!
Let this season BE GINN!
From Tim Graham's Blog
ESPN’s John Clayton reports Taylor has agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million deal that includes a modest $400,000 in incentives. A league source said Taylor wanted play for the Dolphins so badly he asked them to make him an offer that worked for them.
Emphasis mine.
This deal just keeps getting better!
man he is a class act dude.....family 1st....home 1st. 180 from last yr....i welome him back not only with open arms....

We are finally gonna get to see what Porter and JT can do together !!!
Good for Miami and Taylor
Matty, as you stated a few weeks back when I asked you about JT joining NE, he would’ve taken a hit to his legacy by going to a team he was such a rival with for years. We could’ve used him at OLB in our 3-4, but this is a better choice for him.

His loyalty to Miami was clearly the #1 factor in this deal.
Thanks for dropping by. Like you said, this is definitely the better choice for him. His heart would not have been in it if he went anywhere else.
His time with Redskins
Was definitely an indicator of that lack of enthusiasm. He clearly never wanted to leave Miami, but at least he’s back now!

Two moves...
We should be glad with the two moves today:
1) we signed Taylor;
2) Pats DID NOT sign Taylor.

He is such as class act
Taylor’s contract is very salary cap friendly. He walked away from an $8.5 million base salary in Washington and told the Dolphins he would play for whatever they wanted to pay him. It is unclear exactly what they will be paying him.

glad he's home
just hope he is ready for the intensity & hope he takes it seriously with the off-season training program also hope he is fully healed. the last two years he didnt do so great. he’s one of my fav. players but he did fall off a little, just being honest.. I dont think the starting job will just be handed to him because he is “Jason Taylor”.
What The Deuce?
Not an issue
I don’t think those are issues… if he signed, he knows what he signed for… Given all the other stuff we heard from players regarding the coaching staff, I bet they were honest with him all the way.

My favorite line......
Taylor hired a personal trainer and has been doing the Dolphins program. Taylor will join the program as soon as he signs.
If Taylor is in football shape come Sept. He will be a superstar in this Defense……and when he shows up and works out with team he will again be a leader in the lockerroom.
I heard that JT was standing outside of Bill Parcells'.....
house with a boombox playing Peter Gabriel in the rain and it brought a tear to the Big Tuna’s eye and decided to let JT come back…

Pete Prisco doesn't like the signing..
This is the same idiot that ranks the phins #26 in his power rankings. From his Prisco’s Points on CBSSports.com:
Miami Dolphins fans are probably thrilled now that the team has signed Jason Taylor to a one-year contract, bringing him home after a year away with the Washington Redskins.
Not to damper your mood or anything, but just remember the Taylor who is coming back isn’t the one who left — and even that Taylor wasn’t what he used to be.
When the Dolphins considered trading Taylor last year, teams that studied his 2007 season told me the level of play didn’t live up to the sack numbers. He just wasn’t as explosive, one personnel director said, which is why sack numbers can sometimes be misleading.
He had 11 sacks in 2007 and didn’t play that well.
Taylor had 3 1/2 sacks last season for the Redskins in a season that saw him plagued by injuries.
Now he’s back in Miami, and will play an outside linebacker position opposite Joey Porter. That’s a lot of age in those spots. Taylor will be 35 when the season opens and Porter is 32.
At least the Dolphins ended up with a second-round pick in exchange for Taylor’s year away in Washington. They used that pick to take Pat White last month in the college draft.
If he turns out to be a special player in their Wild-Cat offense, which I hate by the way, the Dolphins will be happy to send Taylor away for a year.
They won’t be happy about his production this season. This isn’t the Jason Taylor you remember.
Just watch.
What a Douche Bag!! Plus he hates the WildCat. Double Douche Bag!!!
who cares what this cockjockey thinks?
The gist of all sportswriters will be eating their words when we’re playing football in January.

Its ok
07 everyone looked like crap because the conditioning program was “run…if you want to” but this year with Sparano on his rear you watch he will be in shape and looking for a 10+ sack season!!!

I didn't even get past the first part...
and I was already calling him names which impressed even my boss… and that guy is diiiirty!
Pete Prisco doesn’t like the signing..
At this point I was already calling him a douche bag…
This is the same idiot that ranks the phins #26 in his power rankings.
…and then he became a sack of monkey turds with s#@t for brains…
If he turns out to be a special player in their Wild-Cat offense, which I hate by the way
…by now I’m on a roll and I’ve got my office mates sticking their heads into my office and asking me if everything is okay… it is not…
Wow, lately I just have it out for sports writers. What is with the insane Phin-hate!? Thank you again Matty, you’re the only sane one of the bunch… you and Peter King, though sometimes he’s loco as well.

i jumped over to cbs
to read his power rankings. that has to be the biggest load of shit that i’ve ever read. either he does it on purpose to get a reaction, or he is an absolute idiot.
if i see anyone that EVEN LOOKS like him in public I will hit them with my car

NOW GET BOLDIN
Great move but now lets spend the money and get Boldin so we can play the super bowl on our own turf! I heard phins were still very interested in him, so lets make a deal, we would have addressed all positions except NT, but since we have furg, and ellis and solia they can hold the line this year. Plus it will give Patrick Turner a vet to learn from

Superbowl Run????
With these additions, lack of injuries, do we hve a chance at a superbowl Run……adding Boldin might put some icing on the cake!
Maybe I am a little too optimistic….but hell IAM A LIFE TIME Fin Fan!
Look what we accomplished last year + we have added alot of talent.
Alot wil depend on how quick we can bring Davis & Smith up to speed!
I was at school when the news broke
In my computer class I was surfing the net, proxying around the school’s blocks on thephinsider when I saw Marino22’s fanpost. So then I refreshed and saw Mattys fanpost. THEN I refreshed the ESPN tab i had open and saw THAT story. It was great to know what is going on. To bad the stupid school blocks wouldn’t let me sign in so I could post earlier.

I mean, some should get their ass kicked.

Just kidding y’all. You know I’d play with all of you.
Peeeezzyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Talk about a curveball
wasn’t it only like 2 days ago we were giving up on the “JT to Miami” notion because we weren’t showing any interest? Reminds me of the “Shaq to the Heat” deal, because a day before the deal was made, Riley said, publically, “we’re not making a deal for Shaq.” Then, super-soakers and 75ft banners lol.
I’m excited to see JT back in that 99. I was against bringing him back, but after hearing some of the things he said (seriously? “Make me an offer, and I’ll take it” probably made his agent puke and pass out at the same time lol) and hearing that he’s ALREADY doing the offseason program, I can’t help but to change my tune. He’s showing that commitment to the team and to the game that wasn’t there before last season. So he won’t be the DPOY again, so what? Possibly the best Dolphins player of the last decade (him or Zach) is back in town.
So the pros to the deal are obviously the boost it gives to the entire city having a legend back in town, the boost it gives to our defense to have another talented pass rusher, and guy who can force turnovers and then house them, and the fact that he’s hungry and playing for what amounts to NFL Peanuts.
The cons are that our young OLB’s (Roth, Wake, Walden..) don’t get the playing time and experience needed to step up to the next level. But that can quickly be healed if Taylor takes on the Pennington Attitude of A) play at a high level, B) be a leader, C) help the younger guys so they’re ready to take over when you’re done.
Bottom line for me, is that I was against bringing him in as a football decision, but the things he’s saying have brought me around on it, because my biggest question was his commitment to the game. Happy as hell to have a focused JT back in Miami, and if he’s busting his ass like this all offseason, I’m looking forward to quite a bit of circle-punching as he racks up sacks all year long.
Oh, and RZ..

Hell Yeah!!!
This is an awesome move. This solves our pass rushing problems for this year and then we can address our need at OLB in the draft next year to have a stud to go with Cameron Wake and JP. Hopefully they use him in a rotation so we can get reps for our young guys and keep him fresh. This caps off a great offseason, not to mention we got him for an awesome price. I think he retires after this year, but it will be great to see him retire as a fin. Love this move.

I still don't like JT for what he did, but I do LOVE this move.
This move is a win-win situation for the Dolphins.
First off, we get a great veteran back at a HUUUUUUUGE discount.
Then, it looks like this:
1 – JT stays true to form and is still a force as a pass rusher, and takes back his old spot. Opposite of Joey Porter, the two lead the league in sacks.
2 – JT is still good, but only really useful in passing situations. He contributes very well to the team in these situations, and uses his veteran leadership to help the new guys grow even better.
3 – JT sucks. Cameron Wake or Matt Roth are able to supplant him completely in the position, but JT still provides tremendous locker room leadership and helps these young guys grow into even better players.
Basically, no matter what, his leadership and veteran experience will be worth the $1.1 million. Guaranteed. And look at it this way, if he ISN’T the starter, then we know that the FO has faith in Wake or Roth, and both of them will blossom into great players. And if he does start, then they get another year of learning before they are thrown into the fire.
The whole situation is wonderful. And just to be clear, after his Dancing With The Stars stunt, I haven’t been a fan of Jason Taylor at all. The fact that he even CONSIDERED the Patsies pisses me off as well. So as a fan, no, I’m not terribly happy with the move. However, that doesn’t mean that it isn’t the right move to take the Dolphins one step closer to the Super Bowl.
Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling. ~Vince Lombardi
but im pretty much over that thing...i think it was pushed way out of proportion and as a fin fan you cant really hate the guy
