Redskins defensive end Phillip Daniels suffered an injury Sunday to his anterior cruciate knee ligament, according to a source, a potentially season-ending injury that could lead to Jason Taylor coming to Washington.

Daniels hurt the knee during the team's first practice. He tried to jump over a teammate and came down on his knee. Daniels had to be carted off the field. Preliminary reports from the initial MRI indicated damage to the ACL and possibly more, according to a source.

Following the morning practice, the Redskins started working on trade discussions to replace him. According to another source, talks are underway with the Miami Dolphins for Taylor, who started the offseason by asking to go to a contending team.

AP - The Redskins traded for defensive end Jason Taylor on Sunday, sending two draft picks to the Dolphins, as reported by the Associated Press.

The Redskins gave the Dolphins a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round pick in 2010.

It's done. For 2nd round pick in 09. And a 6th rounder.

Per espn.

Funny how fast that happened. Skins lose two d ends on their first day. Then quickly trade for taylor.

It took about an hour and a half to get done as well. Crazy fast.

For the record, Buzbee was a 3rd stringer at best, maybe a situational pass rusher so while losing him sucks, it wasn't that big of a deal.

But still, Taylor and Carter on both ends...sick.

All I have to say, is one thing: Dammit.

Andre Carter and Jason Taylor on the ends with Montgomery and Griffin in the middle = your favorite teams QB on its ass.

With our secondary and linebackers, WOW

I'm becoming cautiously optimistic about next year. I wish we could somehow move from the NFC East to the NFC West.

Favre would be in burgundy and gold right now if we wanted him to be.

Unless Campbell goes down, doubt it.

Good trade for Washington and it's also good for Miami. I like this for Miami because it provides Bill with more to build on for the future and there was no reason to keep Jason anyway.

3rd place in the NFC East with a 9-7 record next year.

Too bad the Skins still suck. That offense scares no one.

Harsh words from the fan of a team that's the toilet paper of the NFC.

I hate having to say this, but: If Sean Taylor were still alive, this D could be Top 5 in the league.

What does the team I'm a fan of have to do with anything? The Redskins are one of the few teams the Falcons can say they have done better than in recent history.

and the only reason your team was any good is now sitting in jail and filing for bankruptcy.

Enjoy being the butt of the NFC for the next decade.

The Falcons are on par with their payroll. The Redskins spend more money than anyone to be mediocre.

Not my money, not your money. I could care less how much Dan Snyder spends. I'm glad we have an owner who's willing to do whatever it takes to win, despite how clueless he has been about it in the past.
