The Washington Post confirms the Redskins are moving Darryl Tapp to outside linebacker.
Tapp has played his entire seven-year career at defensive end, but the Redskins are trying him out as a situational pass rusher behind Brian Orakpo. If Washington fails to upgrade in the draft, Tapp could see extended playing time to open the season with Rob Jackson suspended for the first four games. Apr 13 - 10:38 PM

Darryl Tapp - LB - Redskins

Redskins agreed to terms with OLB Darryl Tapp, formerly of the Eagles, on a one-year contract.

Tapp, 28, recorded 13 tackles and a half-sack in 13 games with the Eagles last season, but he played in just 257 defensive snaps while acting as the fifth or sixth defensive end. The seven-year veteran has 24 career sacks, and he'll be solid veteran depth behind injury-prone Brian Orakpo at the pass-rushing outside linebacker spot. Tapp is also a plus run defender.

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp agreed to a pay-cut to keep his roster spot.

Tapp was on the trade block, but will stick around after agreeing to slash his untenable $2.575 million salary for a reserve end. It's unknown how large of a cut he agreed to. No better than sixth on the depth chart, Tapp won't tally more than the 2-3 sacks he's been averaging the past three seasons.

The Wilmington News Journal expects the Eagles to trade DE Darryl Tapp before Week 1.

Tapp may be cut if he isn't traded, so interested parties could potentially wait and sign him for cheaper than his $2.575 million base salary after he's released. The 28-year-old Tapp registered 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble on limited snaps last season. He's buried behind Jason Babin, Trent Cole, Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, and Philip Hunt on Philadelphia's defensive end depth chart.

The Sideline View's Adam Caplan floats Eagles DE Darryl Tapp as a potential trade candidate during training camp.

Tapp is a relatively significant salary ($2.575 million) for a player coming off a 2.5-sack season, but he might be able to net Philly a sixth- or seventh-round pick. Tapp's availability will be contingent on the health and effectiveness of Brandon Graham, as well as the progress of young DEs Phillip Hunt and Vinny Curry.

The Philadelphia Inquirer expects the Eagles to keep just one of DEs Darryl Tapp and Phillip Hunt.

Beat writer Jeff McLane believes Hunt's untapped potential might give him an edge over Tapp, but that the Eagles may keep Tapp as veteran insurance on young ends like Brandon Graham and Vinny Curry. The X-factor could be salary. Hunt is due $465,000, while Tapp is currently scheduled for an odious $2.575 million.

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp missed out on a roster bonus payment that would have been due on April 11.

It was an incentive-based roster bonus, but Tapp's 2.5-sack, 27-tackle 2011 season left the Eagles off the hook for the money. Jeff McLane of the Philly Inquirer predicts Tapp "will be back" with the club despite his disappointing production and $2.575 million salary. We wouldn't be so sure, especially if the Eagles find a more promising pass rusher early in the draft.

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp suffered a broken rib in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

A single broken rib doesn't always necessarily sideline a player, but with the Eagles down to playing for pride, it's likely Tapp will miss at least Week 15. A reserve pass rusher, Tapp has tallied 22 tackles and three sacks in 10 games.

Darryl Tapp - LB - Redskins

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp (torn pectoral muscle) is expected to be active on Sunday against the Bills.

Tapp has missed the Eagles' past two games. He was off to a hot start before going down in Week 2, notching three tackles, a sack and a forced fumble. Fellow DE Juqua Parker (high-ankle sprain) "has a chance" to return Sunday. Philadelphia's 15 sacks are tied for the league lead at the season's quarter pole.

Eagles DEs Darryl Tapp (torn pectoral muscle) and Juqua Parker (high-ankle sprain) have been ruled out for Week 3 against the Giants.

The absence will be Tapp's second straight. With Parker joining Tapp on the sideline, DE Phillip Hunt will see an increase in playing time while DT Cullen Jenkins is expected to take some snaps at defensive end. Tapp is more likely than Parker to return in Week 4, though neither are great bets to play against the 49ers.

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp "tore (his pectoral muscle) pretty good" in Sunday's win over the Rams.

Tapp suffered the injury late in the game after tallying three tackles, a sack and forced fumble. HC Andy Reid said he isn't expecting the injury to be a long-term issue, but it seems unlikely that Tapp will be able to take the field when the Eagles visit Atlanta in Week 2.

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp was forced from Sunday's opener against the Rams with a pectoral strain strain.

His return is officially doubtful, but it's a safe bet his afternoon is through. Tapp was having a nice afternoon before going down, wrapping up Sam Bradford for a four-yard sack.

Beat writer Jeff McLane thinks the Eagles could call on DE Darryl Tapp to have a bigger role in 2011.

With Brandon Graham recovering from a torn ACL and Juqua Parker getting up in years, McLane thinks Tapp could see some real playing time at left end. Tapp played well down the stretch last season after playing sparingly early on, and managed to sack Aaron Rodgers and force a fumble in the Eagles' Wild Card loss to the Packers. He's worth monitoring in IDP leagues.

Darryl Tapp - LB - Redskins

Eagles DE Darryl Tapp is currently the fifth of five defensive ends projected to make the team's final roster, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane.

McLane thinks that if the Eagles hadn't given up so much to get Tapp (Chris Clemons and a fourth-round pick), he could be cut. When he was acquired in March, Tapp looked to be a starter, but then the Eagles drafted Brandon Graham and have watched Tapp get outplayed by Juqua Parker and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim so far in camp.

Darryl Tapp - LB - Redskins

Darryl Tapp's new three-year contract with the Eagles includes a $3 million signing bonus.

It's a two-year "extension" because Tapp was already under contract for 2010. The extension is reportedly worth $9 million in base value, including the signing bonus and $6 million in base salaries over the life of the deal. He can make another $6 million in incentives, probably based on starts and sacks. Tapp is now under contract through his age-28 season.
