Green Bay Packers har sikret sig en rutineret quarterback i Tyrod Taylor. Aftalen kommer blot dage efter, at Malik Willis skiftede til Miami Dolphins, og giver Packers en erfaren backup til Jordan Love.
Ifølge NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero er Taylor, 36, klar til at træde til, hvis Love skulle blive skadet. Taylor spillede de seneste to sæsoner for New York Jets, hvor han i 2025 var på banen i seks kampe med fire startere. I den periode nåede han at gennemføre 59,7 procent af sine afleveringer for 779 yards, fem touchdowns og fem interceptions. Derudover løb han selv for 143 yards og én scoring.
Packers’ backuprolle har været afgørende de seneste to år. Love har været ude med skader i to kampe både i 2024 og 2025, hvilket understreger vigtigheden af en pålidelig reserve. Taylor bringer netop den erfaring med sig. Siden han blev draftet i sjette runde i 2011, har han spillet 100 NFL-kampe med 62 startere.
Med Taylors tilgang har Packers nu fem quarterbacks på holdet. Ud over Love og Taylor tæller truppen Desmond Ridder, Kyle McCord og Kyron Drones. Det er dog muligt, at der kommer yderligere ændringer i løbet af transfervinduet.
