Dolphins trade Taylor to Redskins

Washington returns future 2nd-, 6th-round draft picks

? Jason Taylor wanted out of Miami, and Bill Parcells seemed only too happy to trade the “Dancing with the Stars” defensive end.

So when the Washington Redskins lost a starting lineman to a season-ending injury Sunday, a significant swap quickly got done.

The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010 for Taylor, who is leaving the only NFL team he has known.

The six-time Pro Bowl defensive end – who was the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year – fell out of favor in Miami after spending his offseason on a TV show rather than working out with teammates.

The deal came about nine hours after starting defensive end Phillip Daniels was carted away from the practice field at Redskins Park with a season-ending left knee injury.

It also came only about 11â2 hours after Washington executive vice president Vinny Cerrato told reporters: “We haven’t talked to anybody about anything.”

When he later announced the deal with the Dolphins, Cerrato said Taylor was expected to report to the Redskins today, when he’ll meet team owner Dan Snyder and undergo a physical.
