Overview
- Green Bay announced Monday it signed veteran Tyrod Taylor and released Desmond Ridder, installing Taylor as the No. 2 behind Jordan Love.
- Taylor is entering his 16th NFL season with 100 games played and 62 starts, totaling 13,033 passing yards and 73 touchdowns.
- The signing fills the vacancy that opened when Malik Willis joined the Dolphins on a three-year, $67.5 million contract.
- General manager Brian Gutekunst has emphasized the need for a reliable backup, noting Love has missed games in each of the past two seasons.
- With Taylor at QB2, Kyle McCord and undrafted rookie Kyron Drones are developmental options, and the team has not disclosed Taylor’s contract terms.
