Taylor was brought in to bring a veteran presence to the quarterback room. With proven veteran backup quarterbacks generally going in the $5 million to $8 million range, the Packers got Taylor on the cheap, as he signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Taylor signed as cheap veteran backup with prior Vrable connection; no real QB competition.

Signed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal as veteran backup to Jordan Love; never had a real competition for the backup job. Taylor has prior connection with Packers passing game coordinator Jason Vrable (assistant QBs coach with Buffalo Bills in 2016 when Taylor was starter). Going into his 16th NFL season with 100 games played (62 starts, 29-31-1 record). Had poor preseason: 8 completions on 16 attempts (50%), 38 yards (2.4 yards per attempt).
