Looking to finally add a veteran backup quarterback who has had some success at the NFL level, the Jets are adding quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

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.

In the four games he started (and finished) last season, the Giants averaged 19 PPG and went 2-2.
