On the details of the Jason Taylor trade:
“Jason Taylor was
traded for a second round pick in 2009 and a sixth round pick in
2010. He will have a physical and will be in sometime tomorrow.”
On the type of player Jason
Taylor is:
“His play speaks for
itself. It is easy to talk about Jason Taylor. His statistics back
up everything that he has done. I think one of the more impressive
accomplishments is that he has played over 90% of his possible playing
time every year. We had to act after losing our starting defensive
end Phillip Daniels. I talked to Bill Parcells after practice today,
and we were able to work something out.”
On the possibility that he
may only play for one more year:
“I am 100% confident
he will play for more than one year.”
On Taylor making the
transition to a new environment:
“It is a totally new
environment for him. He is excited for a new start.”
On being able to acquire
Jason Taylor during this time of the year:
“We are fortunate
that there was a guy of his caliber on the market, especially after
when one of our players got hurt. Normally, there is nobody on the
market of his caliber. He is a six time Pro Bowl player, and was the
Defensive Player of the Year in 2006. The timing was right.”
