Tyrod Taylor's signing with the Jets was reported as two years worth "up to" $18M. The base value is actually much lower. It's a two-year, $12M contract with $8.5M fully guaranteed. Don't have the details on what it would take to earn the additional $6M in incentives.
The Jets added three void years, so his 2024 cap hit is just $2.8M. His 2025 cap hit is $6.8M and then there will be a dead money charge of $2.4M in 2026 from the void years.
So the AAV and guarantees aren't much more than the Drew Lock contract, which has been reported at 1 year, $5M. The big difference is that the Jets made a two-year commitment to Taylor.
I wish him all of the best with the Jets.

Tyrod is as classy as they come as are his parents. Nice family. He has handled adversity incredibly well in Cleveland, LA, and New York.
The Giants couldn't.
100%^^
The problem with Taylor is hes an insurance policy for the QB in case he gets injured.
Every time the Giants have needed to use that insurance policy, Taylor got hurt. The concussion in 2022, and the chest injury last year. He does not protect himself and misses games - this was a knock on him everywhere he has been.
Love the guy, but I want the insurance policy to actually play if the starter goes down. Just my 2c
Like checking into a run on 1st and goal with no timeouts against the Bills? He makes big positive plays (long balls vs Rams) and horribly boneheaded plays (2 pt attempt to Saquon) in the span of minutes. You could definitely do worse, I like Taylor and he did more with the O than anyone else. And ou can make the same criticism of Lock but at least he's younger and doesn't have the injury history. Taylor's availability has been an issue. Shit, it led to a mini pop culture phenomenon this year.
On those deep throws.(IF our O-line just didn't suck so bad)
