Tyrod Taylor could be Jets’ next bridge starter pending Aaron Rodgers divorce
NY Post
Tyrod Taylor hasn’t thought about it yet.
About the opportunity to open next season as the Jets’ starting quarterback, depending on the new general manager’s decisions with Aaron Rodgers and in the coming NFL Draft. About everything — at least as of now — starting to align for Taylor, who will be 36 in August, to enter 2025 with a chance to start his first Week 1 game since 2021.
He won’t worry about any of that until the Jets’ dismal campaign ends next month.
But with Rodgers and the Jets possibly destined for a divorce and with Taylor set to make $6 million next season in the final year of his deal, he has emerged as Gang Green’s best in-house candidate to bridge the present to an unknown signal caller of the future.
It’s a role that he filled earlier in his career, too.
For now, as the veteran quarterback has always done as a backup, Taylor has tried to remain ready in case Rodgers, banged up and on the injury report for seven weeks this season, can’t start any of the Jets’ final five games.

There’s a whole lot crammed into 100 years of playing the game. That span means the Giants have been there, done that, time and again, over and over. Everything has passed through their gates. Great triumphs. Abject failure. The winds of change and the stillness of sameness. Championship moments. Despair in the air.
Every game the Rangers have played recently has come with seismic implications.
