Due to an injury on the first day of Washington’s training camp to DE Philip Daniels, the Redskins traded two draft picks for Dancing with the Stars and DE Jason Taylor. This works out for both Taylor who wanted out of Miami and Washington who has now definitely cemented the DE position opposite Andre Carter.

Dancing with the Stars, Jason Taylor

Taylor brings a veteran’s knowledge to the position as well as leadership to the entire team. Taylor, while in Miami, totalled 435 tackles, 117 sacks, and 7 INT. This also adds some excitement to the NFC East as now the Redskins have become a greater force to be dealt with. I hope the Cowboys are up to it. The Redskins have struggled offensively as of late, specifically at the QB position but now that Jason Campbell has settled in, look for Washington to have a better 08 season. Washington has had a rough couple of seasons both with coaching issues and the recent death of DB Sean Taylor, a new Taylor could be the shining light that the Redskins need.
