John Clayton of ESPN.com has reported on a domino effect that will likely see Miami Defensive End Jason Taylor head to Washington.
The 'skins have been perenially terrible on the D-line for some time now, and the news that veteran DE Philip Daniels is likely out for the entire 2008 season with a torn ACL, has pushed 'Dan Snyder Airlines' back into business.
The Dolphins had asked for a first round pick prior to the draft this year, but there didn't seem to be much of a market for a player who has expressed his desire to play just one more year. We covered the Taylor situation back in June, and made it clear that in our eyes, there is no logic behind giving up a high draft pick for a player with a maximum of one year left in the league.
Of course, use of the word 'logic' is unheard of in any Redskins dealings, so this story might actually have legs. If the rumours are correct, then Washington could be in the situation next year where they have no Taylor, and no draft pick to replace him.
Incidentally, this week we will be posting the 2008 Season previews of the Cowboys, Eagles, Giants and Redskins.
