Jason Taylor going back to the Fins.

Not that this is major news but I'm curious if he's going to turn into a jerk again and talk trash about the Jets.

MIAMI (AP)—Jason Taylor (notes) seeks a few more sacks, and he plans to get them with the Miami Dolphins.

The NFL’s active career sacks leader, preparing for his 15th season, said Monday he’ll rejoin the Dolphins. He disclosed his plans on his foundation’s Facebook page.

“Jason has made his decision regarding where he is playing for the upcoming 2011 season,” an announcement said. “Jason is coming home to MIAMI and will once again proudly wear the aqua and orange!”

The Dolphins declined to comment. Taylor became a free agent when the Jets released him in March.

Taylor, who turns 37 on Sept. 1, spent his first 11 seasons with the Dolphins and has kept a home in South Florida. He played for Washington in 2008, rejoined the Dolphins in 2009 and played last year for their biggest rivals, the New York Jets.

Former Dolphins teammate Dan Marino tweeted, “Welcome back to Miami (hash) 99.”

Taylor has yet to reach the Super Bowl. Last year he reached the playoffs for the first time in nine years, and the Jets’ loss to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game left him fighting back tears.

The linebacker-defensive end was also disappointed to have only five sacks in 2010. That increased his career total to 132 1/2 , which tied him with Lawrence Taylor and Leslie O’Neal for eighth on the career list.

He played in all 16 games for the Jets, including five as a starter. Taylor’s best season was in 2006, when he was the NFL defensive player of the year for Miami.

did he truly ever want to be a jet anyway, probably just as much as he wanted to be a redskin

I'll never have any love for JT but comments like that are probably why he has said stuff in the past

The guy swallowed his pride and did make some contributions to the team so Iets just go the classy route.

Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.

+1

If he starts talking shit about Jets fans once he puts those puke colors back on, all bets are off. But until then, I’m givin the guy some slack for playing hard for us.

He’s a little long in the tooth to make a difference. Good luck with the Dolphins, and don’t give up our whole defensive playbook and signals to them fella.
