Taylor praised the Jets’ locker room as close-knit and talented, noting his confidence that the club can turn its fortunes around after a disappointing 2024 record. “I would love to be a part of turning things around there,” he said, adding that he has previously helped drive a culture change in his career. He stressed that, for now, his focus remains on training and evaluating opportunities as free agency approaches.
The Jets currently have Justin Fields under contract for another season on a two-year, $40 million deal, while holding the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, which could influence quarterback options. Taylor acknowledged the likelihood that New York may pursue a quarterback in the draft or in free agency, but he remains candid about his own path, stating he takes it “one day at a time” and is pleased with the past two years’ work in Jets green.
Beyond the field, Taylor’s profile remains attractive as a reliable backup who can start and win games when needed. His experience and leadership have kept him in the conversation for teams seeking stability at quarterback depth during transitional seasons. As he continues training and explores free-agent opportunities, Taylor reiterated his commitment to pursuing a long NFL career, with the Jets as a plausible fit but open to other destinations if the right opportunity arises.
