From Mike Reiss's blog:

ESPN.com's Tim Graham caught up with Taylor at Taylor's charity event tonight, and writes on the possibility that the veteran defender could wind up in New England.

Writes Graham:

Jason Taylor isn't ruling out a return to the Miami Dolphins, but the pass rusher couldn't conceal his delight over reading comments that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft would love to add him.

"I did hear that. I can't lie," Taylor said Sunday night on the red carpet of an event for the Jason Taylor Foundation at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. "I have not talked to Robert Kraft. We'll leave it at that. Those things will sort themselves out, and hopefully in the near future so I can get back to work.

"But it's great to be wanted. It's great to be wanted. Sure, especially an organization like them or the Dolphins."

 

Graham's piece also includes comments from Patriots receiver Wes Welker, who attended Taylor's charity event. Welker admitted that he's been nudging Taylor toward signing with the Patriots.
