How Washington made Jason Taylor a 'Skin in less than six hours

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/peter_king/07/20/mmqb/index.html?eref=T1

Now, I'd heard some interesting rumors in recent weeks about Taylor. I'd heard a good one last week about a three-way deal between the Giants, Dolphins and Saints, with Taylor going to the Giants to replace Michael Strahan at left end, Jeremy Shockey going to New Orleans to give Sean Payton the tight-end weapon he so desperately wants, and second- and fifth-round picks going from New Orleans to Miami. I don't think there was any meat to that, though it made an awful lot of sense for all three teams. [I still think, by the way, that the Shockey story is not over. If he's a turd at training camp, or a no-show, I still think there's a chance the Giants rekindle things with New Orleans.]

What everybody is saying about the JT trade

Here is what Taylor said:

"As you might imagine, this is a bit overwhelming right now and I probably need a little time to digest it all. I love Miami, will always cherish my 11 years with the Dolphins and can't thank Mr. Huizenga, Bryan Wiedmeier and countless coaches and teammates enough for what they have all done. I will be a Dolphins fan now and wish them the best. Tony Sparano is great and I know I would have enjoyed working with him. And what can I say about the fans? This town has been supportive beyond belief, through good times and bad and I wish I could thank everyone personally.

Dolphins Made A Good Deal ... But It’s Tough To Say Goodbye To J.T.

http://www.miamidolphins.com/newsite/news/andycohen.asp

If there is a smile on the face of the Miami Dolphins, it is only because they received fair trade value. But, in truth, that smile must come with an empty feeling. It is sad when arguably the best defensive player in team history has to finish his career somewhere else. It is sad when such a strong pillar in the community must now go somewhere else. It is sad when the most popular player on the team leaves town because he wants a chance to play for a Super Bowl.

Yeah i agree, i like Andy Cohen articles about the phins

felly smarts · Jul 21, 2008

JT gave us a lot of great years as a Dolphin. 1 of my all time favorites in Dolphin uniform. He was a true Phin in the community and on the field and up until this year was a class act to the media and fans.

Nothing I wish more than for him to have a ring with the Phins.

Sometimes it just doesn't happen.

Retiring a Dolphin was good enough for some people, one in particular, and he deserved a ring more than any other Dolphin before him and after him.

I wish the best for JT, but I wish more for the Phins.

One final post on the Jason Taylor trade

I am still scratching my head and it doesn't even itch. Seriously. Because this really doesn't make sense to me.

Sometime between late January and mid February of this year, Jason Taylor's agent called the Dolphins and informed them Taylor only intended to play one more season and it made sense for him to play that final year someplace else. The Dolphins were, after all, about to rebuild and Taylor, at 33 years old, didn't want to be part of that rebuilding because he wanted one final shot at winning a title.

Final thoughts on the JT trade

Yesterday, I briefly caught up with JT as he walked off the Redskins’ practice field to talk about his expectations with the Skins and being a more recognizable figure in D.C. than Barack Obama and John McCain. Then I asked if he had spoken to anyone with the Dolphins organization, especially Bill Parcells, et al.

“I texted Vonnie Holliday today, but haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him yet,” Taylor said.

Are you sick of talking about your Dolphins teammates and former coaches, and trying to put that in the past?
