Current Contract

Contract Value Index (CVI)

The Jets struck gold with Tyrod Taylor's $0.8M deal, securing an A+ CVI that represents one of the best backup quarterback values in the league. While Taylor grades as a rotational player in terms of production, his veteran presence and proven ability to step in when needed makes this contract a absolute steal at less than $1M annually. At 34, Taylor isn't getting younger, but his role doesn't require him to be a long-term cornerstone — just a reliable insurance policy who can manage games without derailing a season. The minimal financial commitment gives New York incredible flexibility while addressing a crucial roster spot with a quarterback who's started meaningful games and understands how to operate in pressure situations. This signing exemplifies smart roster construction: paying bottom-dollar for a veteran who brings significantly more value than his salary suggests, allowing the Jets to allocate resources elsewhere while maintaining competent depth at the most important position.
