Jason Taylor made for Patriots?

When Jason Taylor was released from Washington, my sage friend Tom Curran opined that New England was the most likely fit for the former Defensive MVP.  It looks like Taylor agrees.

The Patriots are Taylor's first choice, according to Yahoo's Jason Cole.  And the interest is mutual.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft on the matter earlier this week: "Great player.  I'm sure that can happen if he wants it."

Translation: We've got a spot open for him as long as Taylor takes the Foxborough desperate-for-a-ring discount.

Taylor, like many veterans, is no great fan of offseason conditioning programs, so he's in no hurry to make a deal.  When Taylor is ready to hit the field again, however, there's a good chance he'll do it in New England.
