Jason Taylor: "I'm Going Home!" How Will His Return Impact the Dolphins?

Old AccountMay 13, 2009

The city of Miami has had a lot of good spirit in them during the month of May.

The obvious one is the 90 degree weather Florida has been getting. But that wasn't the only thing hitting Miami Beach earlier today.

One year is sure a charm, at least in Jason Taylor's perspective. The former Dolphins defensive end resigned with the Dolphins after being dealt to the Washington Redskins just a little over year ago.

Upon his departure in 2007, it was an unhappy story by many to see Jason Taylor, who has been a stable part of the franchise, head out of town after the frustrations between him and the Tuna.

Now, Taylor is back in Miami and ready to do more business, but what gives?

Jason Taylor arguably had one of his worst statistical careers due to his nagging injuries throughout the season, finishing with 29 tackles and three-and-a-half sacks.

Dan Snyder and the Redskins didn't have the greatest patience with Taylor, releasing him this past offseason.

It is very surprising by many to see Taylor coming back to a Dolphins uniform. Not that the signing doesn't make sense, but surprising that Bill Parcells brought him back to the squad.ย  He must be confident in Taylor.

Even though Taylor was with the Fins most of his career, the agreed terms is just a year deal worth about $1.5 million. The Dolphins have convinced me that they are not so sure if Taylor's lackluster season was a fluke, and want to take no chance on any longer extension.

Surely this will motivate Jason Taylor, no?

A six time Pro-Bowler could not draw a big market after one season, as well as not getting a larger contract.

Luckily, he doesn't return to the 1-15 Dolphins of '07, but the Dolphins who had the biggest turnaround in NFL history by winning the AFC East last season.

Miami did miss the dominant pass rusher, especially when Joey Porter wasn't playing on the line.

Taylor will bring the pressure to the offensive line, opening more chances for Joey Porter to make an impact.

I am making an early prediction that Jason Taylor will be excited to get back on the field and do bigger things with the Dolphins this season.

Jason Taylor = 2009 Comeback Player of the Year?

Wouldn't surprise me if it happened.
