I agree fully.

Jason Taylor was/is a great player. But as he ages, the flaws in his game are only going to become more evident.

With that said, Jason Taylor's skill set (poor run defense, excellent speed/power rush combination) should age pretty well, so the Skins might have a multiple year solution on the DL if they can convince him that sticking around to win a championship is worth it.

At the end of the day, Jason Taylor now has the best shot to win the championship that he's had in the last 5 years. This is a great trade for Taylor.
