Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times reports that the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have already agreed to a trade that would send veteran defensive end Jason Taylor to Tampa.

The trade would apparently send the Bucs’ second-round pick (52nd overall) to Miami, in exchange for Taylor, the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year who has reportedly said that he would like to finish his career somewhere other than Miami. It is not clear whether any other picks would be involved in the trade.

Taylor has two years left on his contract and is scheduled to earn a combined $17 million in those two seasons, so it’s likely that the Buccaneers would want him to restructure his contract, but there has been no word about such an agreement being reached between Taylor and the Bucs or any other team.

When asked about a potential trade, Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden was noncommittal, saying, “There have been some trade rumors and I don’t think we’re any different than anybody else. When you’re talking about high-profile players, we’re going to pick up the phone and see what’s going on. It’s part of our job.”

UPDATE: The Buccaneers traded the 52nd pick, but to the Jaguars, not to the Dolphins.
