Redskins trade for Jason Taylor (updated)

[marius]

When I saw the headline my initial reaction was 'great!'. Taylor is a high character guy who performed outstandingly well for a dire team and has a great track record of not getting injured. He is a definite upgrade on Daniels (although this is a sad way for a fine man to probably end his career) and should immediately improve what was one of the key weaknesses on this team - pressuring the quarterback.

A 2nd rounder is high but given the urgency of the situation to end up with a hall of fame calibre player (even if for only 2 seasons) is the best result possible in teh circumstances. With he and Carter coming off the edge to pressure Manning, Romo and McNabb we suddenly look a lot more threatening. You can bet that those three don't like this news and that in itself is enough for me to like it.
