Patriots signed Taylor to the practice squad—a low-risk depth probe with minimal commitment. Four of five headlines emphasize his quick release, signaling organizational skepticism about fit. Mike Vrabel's blunt dismissal is the key red flag indicating coaching staff doubts. Fans questioned whether New England was grasping at edge-rush solutions desperately. The team will likely continue exploring depth options rather than retaining Taylor.
