The New York Jets got a veteran backup for Aaron Rodgers — and added some protection on their offensive line.
Quarterback Tyrod Taylor agreed to terms on a contract with the Jets on Monday night, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. NFL Network reported it's a two-year deal worth up to $18 million.
The move on the first day of the NFL's legal tampering period of free agency addresses a major need for the Jets.
New York also agreed to terms on a two-year, $18 million deal with former Baltimore guard John Simpson on Monday night, his agent Kyle Strongin with Range Sports RMP told the AP. He's expected to take over as the starting left guard on what will likely be a revamped starting offensive line.
