The Washington Redskins announced today that they have released defensive end Jason Taylor. In 2008, his lone season with the club, Taylor started eight of the 13 games in which he played. He totaled 36 tackles, 3.5 sacks and nine passes defensed. ?Jason Taylor was a real professional during his time with the Redskins,? Head Coach Jim Zorn said. ?He played hurt, but still gave his best effort to be prepared and play hard every week. We wish him and his family the very best.?
