Tyrod Taylor Signs with Texans
Former Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Tyrod Taylor has signed a one-year deal with the Houston Texans. The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Taylor’s incentive-based contract can be worth up to $12.5 million.
The 10-year veteran quarterback spent two seasons with the Chargers, primarily in a backup role. He was named the starter for the 2020 seasons but suffered a rib injury after a Week 1 16-13 win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie Justin Herbert took over starting quarterback duties for the team, posting a 6-9 record, throwing 396 passes for 4,336 yards and 31 touchdowns. He ranked sixth among all starting quarterbacks last season in passing yards.
