The Giants will be Taylor’s sixth NFL team and his fourth in the last five seasons.
Taylor spent the 2021 season with the Houston Texans but played in just six games. He started the Texans’ first two contests but exited a Week 2 loss to the Cleveland Browns with a hamstring injury. He returned under center in Week 9 and made four more starts before the team turned to rookie Davis Mills for the remainder of the season.

For the season, the Giants finished 31st in the NFL in total yards, passing yards and points per game.
