Jason Taylor now has a chance to end his career where it started.

The six-time Pro Bowl defensive end has agreed to a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, FOXSports.com has learned.

Taylor, 34, played his first 11 seasons in Miami before being traded to the Redskins prior to the 2008 season. His year in Washington was curtailed by injuries and Taylor was limited to 29 tackles and four sacks on the season.

Taylor was the face of the franchise for much of his Miami tenure. Along with his six Pro Bowl appearances, Taylor was named an All-Pro three times and was the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2006.

Taylor is the leader among active NFL players in career sacks with 120. He is No. 14 in that category overall.
