Packers agree to sign QB Tyrod Taylor
Key Points:
- The Green Bay Packers have signed veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor to serve as their new backup following Malik Willis' departure to the Miami Dolphins.
- Taylor, 36, played for the New York Jets over the last two seasons, starting four games in 2025 and completing nearly 60% of his passes with five touchdowns and five interceptions.
- Taylor brings valuable experience, having appeared in 100 NFL games with 62 starts since being drafted in 2011, addressing a key need after starter Jordan Love missed multiple games in recent seasons.
- With Taylor's addition, the Packers currently have five quarterbacks on their roster: Jordan Love, Tyrod Taylor, Desmond Ridder, Kyle McCord, and Kyron Drones, pending further roster moves.
