In his best season with the Seahawks in 2022, Taylor recorded 9.5 sacks and contributed significantly on defense. However, his time in Seattle came to an end when he was traded to the Chicago Bears in 2024 for a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft. His performance with both the Bears and the Texans fell short of his previous production. 🦅
Recently released by the Texans, Taylor has now joined the Patriots’ practice squad, with the potential to be elevated for their playoff game against Houston. This move could benefit New England, as Taylor has firsthand experience with the Texans, making him a strategic addition for their upcoming matchup. 🤔
The Patriots are taking a low-risk approach by signing Taylor, who is 28 years old and may still have valuable contributions left in his career. His knowledge of the Texans could provide an edge in the elimination game, and his deal is not financially burdensome for the team. 💰
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are preparing for their upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers, with both left tackle Charles Cross and rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo trending towards playing after recovering from injuries. Additionally, the status of star pass rusher DeMarcus Lawrence is being monitored due to an Achilles issue. 🏈
