"From hating the Jets to only willing to play for them in one short year.

Yes, Jason Taylor's green-and-white, Rex Ryan inspired transformation is complete. The veteran pass rusher was cut Monday by the Jets, but told ESPN 760 in Miami that he would be willing to return and would only play next year if it's with the Jets.

"I want to play in New York, for sure," Taylor told the radio station.

"If I'm going to play -- I told Rex this yesterday -- it's going to be with the Jets. I had a fantastic time up there, great team. A good, young quarterback who's continuing to grow up and be more and more of a pro quarterback. And it's great to see. I had a great time; we came up a little short. It's not easy to repeat and make it to the AFC Championship three years in a row, but if they'll have me, I think I'd enjoy doing it again."

Taylor was one of three veterans cut by the Jets on Monday with Damien Woody and Kris Jenkins also roster casualties. Taylor, who was due a $10 million roster bonus if he remained with the Jets, said he had no ill will over the team's decision.

"That's what I expected and I think what everyone else expected," Taylor said. "That was a business move they had to make and I totally respect and understand it. We had communication and conversation throughout. We knew what was going on. There's a lot of time between now and when they play football again, so we will see what happens.""
