Redskins land Taylor

By Micah Warren

The Redskins have finalized a deal that will send Miami’s Jason Taylor to Washington. Washington has agreed to send a 2009 second-round pick and a 2010 sixth rounder to the Dolphins in exchange for a guy who is already eye-balling life after football.

“We acquired a perennial Pro Bowl player and one of the NFL’s top pass rushers,” executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato said. “He is a great leader who will fit in very well with our team. We feel that Jason is a great addition on the field as well as off the field.

“He is a playmaker who can do so many different things for us on defense.”
