So as for this Jason Taylor trade

Back when the Dolphins were in London last season team owner H. Wayne Huzienga said if Jason Taylor or Zach Thomas wanted to be set free from football purgatory he wouldn’t stand in their way.

Well, it appears 50 percent of the Dolphins ownership has given the Trifecta the green light to move Taylor, the face of the franchise, who would like to end his career with a contender.

During an interview with ESPN Radio 760 today this is what Huizenga said when asked if Taylor will be a Dolphins by the end of the day.

“I don’t know the answer to that question. I like Jason a lot, and I think everybody likes Jason. I want what’s best for Jason. If he wants to go where he’s got a shot at getting a Super Bowl trophy, I’m all for that. He deserves that,” Huizenga said. “If we can get him placed in a spot where he can go to the big game, then we would do that. We’ve had a lot of conversation but we never really got down to saying trading him. That never happened. What’s the best thing for Jason? He’s got a big career ahead of him yet…He should go where he can go to the big game.”

Talk of a Jason Taylor-to-the-Bucs deal is gaining strength, and we’re hearing a trade may already be agreed to.

As told to us, the deal would involve, at a minimum, the Bucs’ second-round pick, No. 52 overall, in exchange for the 33-year-old likely Hall-of-Famer.

The Bucs have continued to bemoan the lack of a consistent pass rush, and adding a player with 117 career sacks would certainly be a step in the right direction. But there are challenges involved in this potential deal, not the least of which is addressing Taylor’s contract. Taylor is scheduled to earn $17-million over the final two years of his contract.

It’s conceivable there will be an agreement in place before the trade to restructure the contract, but it’s too early to say.

It would have been a great trade but apparently it just didn’t have enough wheels to go or Huizenga really did stop the trade from happening.
