Former Bills Pro Bowl quarterback Tyrod Taylor signs with the Green Bay Packers to serve as a backup behind Jordan Love. The move adds a veteran presence with 15 NFL seasons and prior starting experience, including 44 appearances and 43 starts for Buffalo from 2015–2017, where he threw 8,857 yards and 51 touchdowns and earned a 2015 Pro Bowl nod. Taylor played a pivotal role in Buffalo’s 2017 playoff push, but the Bills drafted Josh Allen in 2018, ending his tenure there. His career also includes stints with the Ravens, Browns, Jets, Giants, Chargers, and Texans, highlighting his durability and professionalism as a valuable locker-room veteran.
Key highlights:
– Brings veteran leadership and NFL experience to backing up starter Jordan Love
– Notable career totals: 8,857 passing yards, 51 touchdowns, Pro Bowl in 2015
– Career arc: strong Bills tenure, followed by time with multiple teams before joining the Packers
Key takeaway:
Taylor’s addition provides the Packers with experienced depth at quarterback, supporting development for Jordan Love while offering a steady veteran presence in the QB room.
