Taylor has agreed on terms to a two-year, $18 million deal with the Jets, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor is staying in New York but will sport a different jersey. The journeyman signal caller accumulated 1,399 yards and six touchdowns through the air across 14 games (five starts) during his two-year stint with the Giants. With 58 career starts under his belt, he is a safe veteran choice to back up Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), as the Jets were determined to improve in that department following the 2023 season.

Taylor completed 23 of 32 passes for 297 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles. He added 38 rushing yards on eight carries.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran quarterback might have topped 300 yards for the second straight game, but he briefly left late in the first quarter to get his thumb checked out, and Tommy DeVito completed a five-yard pass in his absence. Taylor, who has played for five teams over the last seven seasons alone, will be a free agent in the offseason and isn't likely to return to the Giants with DeVito and Daniel Jones (knee) on the depth chart, but the 34-year-old showed in 2023 he can still be effective and likely won't have much trouble landing elsewhere.

Taylor (thumb) returned to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor hit the sideline for a spell to have his thumb examined, but after backup Tommy DeVito got banged up, the former reentered the contest. He'll look to build upon the 72 yards on 4-for-6 passing and one seven-yard carry that he had accumulated prior to his departure.

Taylor was forced out of Sunday's game against the Eagles with a thumb injury.

EDGE Analysis

Before leaving the contest, Taylor had completed four of his six passes for 72 yards and carried once for seven yards. As a result of his injury, Tommy DeVito is in at QB for the Giants.

Taylor (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Brian Daboll never seemed worried about Taylor's back injury, naming the 34-year-old as his Week 18 starting quarterback Wednesday. Taylor led a second-half rally against the Eagles in Week 16, ultimately falling short in a 33-25 loss after replacing Tommy DeVito at halftime. The rematch may be impacted by snow, and there's also some chance the Eagles rest key players or remove some of them early.

Taylor (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor's practice reps were managed for the second day in a row, and even though he's already been named the Giants' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles, he may need to put in a full practice Friday to approach the season finale without a designation. The Giants re-signed Jacob Eason to their practice squad Thursday to provide depth at quarterback in case Taylor can't play this weekend, though Tommy DeVito would be the next man up to start.

Taylor (back) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's projected injury report, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Brian Daboll named Taylor the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Eagles earlier in the day, suggesting that he doesn't anticipate this back injury will hinder Taylor's availability. Nonetheless, Taylor's participation level in practice Thursday and Friday will be worth monitoring as the Giants prepare for a rematch with a reeling Philadelphia defense against which Taylor threw for 133 yards in one half of action two weeks ago.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Taylor will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's season finale versus the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the Giants have been eliminated from playoff contention, Daboll will stick with the veteran signal-caller in Week 18 rather than pivoting back to undrafted rookie Tommy DeVito. While making his fourth start and 10 appearance of the season in this past Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams, Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 40 yards on six rushing attempts.

Taylor completed 27 of 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Rams. He added 40 yards on six rushing attempts.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor threw for just 101 yards in the first half with no touchdowns and an interception as the Giants took a 14-10 deficit into the locker room. He was better in the second half and got New York back into the game with an 80-yard touchdown pass to Darius Slayton in the third quarter, but Taylor made a pair of crucial mistakes in the fourth. He threw behind Jalin Hyatt on a fourth-and-1 completion that came up short, then had an even more egregious miss on a throw behind a wide open Saquon Barkley as the Giants went for the go-ahead two-point conversion after scoring a special-teams touchdown with 3:27 remaining. Taylor nearly atoned for the mistakes with a 31-yard scramble to set up a go-ahead field-goal attempt in the final minute, but Mason Crosby hooked a 54-yarder wide. It remains to be seen whether the Giants stick with Taylor or go back to rookie Tommy DeVito for a Week 18 game against the Eagles that means much more to Philadelphia.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Taylor will start Sunday's game against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Taylor replaced Tommy DeVito to begin the second half of the Giants' Christmas Day loss to the Eagles. He proceeded to complete seven of 16 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while also rushing twice for 21 yards. With the undrafted rookie DeVito having struggled to move the offense in both of his past two starts, the Giants will presumably finish the campaign with the more battle-tested Taylor under center, provided the veteran turns in a capable showing Sunday and also avoids injury. Over his nine appearances (three starts) thus far in 2023, Taylor has completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and three touchdowns to go with 119 yards on 24 carries while turning the ball over just once (an interception) on 221 total snaps.
