Quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s NFL career is full of unfortunate events. There’s the fact that his current team, the New York Giants, is his sixth in 13 seasons.
He signed a six-year, $96 million contract with the Buffalo Bills in 2016. However, he lasted only one more season after that, as the Bills traded him to the Cleveland Browns.
Taylor also suffered ill-fated injuries. During his time with the Los Angeles Chargers, the team doctor accidentally punctured his lung after a painkiller injection.
His hamstring injury in Week 2 of the 2021 season allowed Davis Mills to start for the Houston Texans. Despite those mishaps, the former Virginia Tech standout has earned quite a fortune from playing football.
