Tyrod Taylor posted a fiery quote about his NFL future

The New York Jets improved to 3-9 with an upset win in Week 13 over the 4-8 Atlanta Falcons. Despite falling behind by a touchdown late in the fourth quarter, New York rallied. The Jets scored 10 points in the final two minutes to seal the victory Nick Folka 56 yards as time ran out.

After a back-and-forth battle, the 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor defeated 37-year-old Kirk Cousins ​​in a battle of backups. Cousins ​​starts in place of the injured Michael Penix Jr., who won the Falcons job last season. Taylor took over the reins at East Rutherford when he The Jets drafted Justin Fields on the eve of the 12th week.

Taylor’s promotion is permanent. In any case for 2025, New York intends to keep him at center until the end of the campaign. Beyond that, the team doesn’t have a clear plan at quarterback. Taylor will enter free agency ahead of his age-37 season. But when asked about his thoughts on his NFL future, the 15-year veteran remained zen.

“I’m in the moment, man. Tomorrow ain’t born. Yesterday’s dead,” Taylor explained, according to 33rd Team’s Ari Meirov.

Tyrod Taylor rallied the Jets to a rare win in Week 13

Adopting a “go-with-the-flow” mentality is probably key for a player as well-traveled as Taylor. The Jets are the seventh franchise he has played for since entering the league in 2011. And he could move on to his eighth next year.

But Taylor intends to make the most of his opportunity. If he finishes the season as New York’s KB1, he will make eight starts in 2025. It would be his most active campaign since starting 14 games for the Buffalo Bills in 2017.

however, Taylor had mixed feelings on quarterback takeover. He told reporters that it was difficult because of his friendship with Fields. “At the same time, I also firmly believe that God has a plan for all of us and has called me to this moment,” Taylor added.

The next veteran moment will come against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Taylor will make his fourth start of the season for the Jets. He went 1-2 to KB1.

New York began the season with a miserable 0-7 record, which all but ensured the team would miss the playoffs for the 15th straight year. But the Jets were 3-2 since Week 8. And for some reason the team is 2-2 since trading away their top two defensemen at the trade deadline.
