The Texans continue to insist they will not trade Deshaun Watson. But if that changes, they have a quarterback with significant starting experience.
According to several reports, Houston has agreed to deal with quarterback Tyrod Taylor on a one-year deal worth up to $ 12.5 million. In the signing of the Texans, Taylor reunites with the death coordinator / coach, Pep Hamilton, who was the Chargers’ QBs coach in 2020.
Taylor started last season as the starter of the Chargers before a predictive analgesic injection stung his lung before the Week 2 game against the Chiefs. Justin Herbert takes over as the starter of Los Angeles and holds the post for the rest of the season, winning AP’s attacking rookie of the year.
Taylor is in his 11th pro season after starting his career as Ravens sixth-round in 2011. He started 47 career games in his career – 43 for Buffalo, three for Cleveland and one for Los Angeles.
Overall, Taylor passed 9,770 yards with 54 touchdowns and 20 interceptions, chasing for 1,850 yards with 16 touchdowns.
