NEW YORK — A veteran backup quarterback always made sense.
The Giants agreed Tuesday with Tyrod Taylor on a reported two-year, $11 million contract. The deal includes $8.5 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $17 million with incentives.
Taylor, 32, will back up Daniel Jones to start the 2022 season. He will be a serviceable starter if Jones gets hurt. And he would be an acceptable bridge quarterback in 2023 if the Giants moved on from Jones and drafted a rookie.
