The Break #3/Sports Thread #2 For 4/20/10: Jason Taylor Goes To The team He Use To Hate, The Jets
And the massive Jets offseason continues, as well as the talk about the NFL in its offseason.
Linebacker Jason Taylor is leaving the Dolphins to play for the Jets, his agent, Gary Wichard, told the Miami Herald.Will be interesting for Taylor to now play in the 3-4 scheme, a system he didn't want to play in before with him being a rush end.
League sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Taylor -- the NFL's active sacks leader with 127½ -- agreed to a two-year deal that could be worth as much as $3.75 million in the first year.
The Miami Herald reported that Taylor is tentatively scheduled to travel to the New York area on Wednesday to sign the contract.
Because of the Final Eight rules that restrict the Jets from signing Taylor for more in the first year than what Jay Feely received from leaving the Jets to join the Cardinals, Taylor will be on the Jets' books for $1.75 million in 2010, but he could earn another $1.25 million to $2 million depending upon his performance.
