After several years of the likes of Trever Siemian, Tim Boyle, Luke Falk and more Trever Siemian, this should be a welcome addition.

Taylor gives the Jets a backup who can win you a couple of games in a pinch as he did last year with the Giants when he completed 64% of his passes while throwing 5 touchdowns to 3 interceptions.
