"The Jets aren't worried about how Jason Taylor will handle his emotions once the game begins tonight. But as for what might happen before the game, who knows?

"I hope he goes to the right locker room," linebacker Jamaal Westerman said. "He might get lost and we'll be like, 'Hey, Jay, where are you going?' "

If everything had worked out the way Taylor wanted, he wouldn't have had to travel to the visiting locker room at Sun Life Stadium when the Jets visit Miami. The longtime Dolphins linebacker hoped to still be with the team for which he had played 12 of his previous 13 NFL seasons.

But Miami wasn't interested in the unrestricted free agent's services and he signed with the Jets in April. Taylor's return to South Florida was overshadowed somewhat during the week by the off-field troubles of wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who will not start tonight because of a DWI arrest."
