The Green Bay Packers have secured veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor to serve as the backup to Jordan Love, who is entering his fourth season as the starter. This decision follows the departure of Malik Willis to the Miami Dolphins, leaving the Packers in need of experienced depth at the quarterback position. Taylor, 36, has played in 100 games over his 15-year career, with a notable tenure at the Buffalo Bills where he started 43 games from 2015 to 2017. His most recent stint was with the New York Jets, where he faced injury challenges, starting only four games last season. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst emphasized the importance of having a reliable backup, especially given Love's injury history over the past two seasons. The team also released Desmond Ridder, further solidifying Taylor's role as the primary backup.
