Jason Taylor signs one-year deal to rejoin Miami Dolphins

[Scurrilous]

"Jason Taylor rejoined the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, signing a reported one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland and agent Gary Wichard were in negotiations since early Wednesday morning and the sides reached a deal Wednesday afternoon.

''My heart has always been in Miami, and so I'm truly excited to call myself a Dolphin once again,'' Taylor said in a statement. ``I was presented with a number of different opportunities, but in the end the combination of this being the best situation for my family, my love for this community and my tremendous loyalty to a great organization made this an easy decision.''

In negotiating this reunion of the team's all-time sacks leader and the club that drafted him in 1997, Taylor snubbed overtures from a handful of clubs, not the least of which was New England.

Taylor's contract is very salary-cap friendly. He walked away from an $8.5 million base salary in Washington and told the Dolphins he would play for whatever fit their budget."

It was his dream as a young child. He grew up hearing.... "Land Shark Beer..... the beer that made Carol City Somewhat famous."
