Chargers Agree to Terms with Tyrod Taylor FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, March 13, 2019 Chargers Agree to Terms with Tyrod Taylor The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to terms on a two-year contract with QB Tyrod Taylor, the organization announced on Wednesday. Taylor has appeared in 62 games with 46 starts. The 2011 sixth-round selection by the Baltimore Ravens has passed for 9,529 yards with 53 touchdowns to 20 interceptions while completing 61.6 percent of his passes. On top of his passing, Taylor has rushed for 1,836 yards for 16 touchdowns while sporting a 5.6 yards-per-carry average. The Virginia native earned his first Pro Bowl nod for his play during the 2015 season with the Buffalo Bills. Taylor threw for 20 touchdowns to only six interceptions while passing for 3,035 yards and sporting a career-best 99.4 passer rating. Taylor also added 568 yards on the ground and four rushing touchdowns. Taylor made his first starts in 2015 with Buffalo while Chargers Head Coach Anthony Lynn was the Running Backs/Assistant Head Coach for the Bills. Lynn took over as the offensive coordinator for the final 14 games of 2016 (including as the interim head coach for the season finale). With Lynn running the offense, Taylor threw for 2,615 yards and 14 touchdowns with five interceptions while also posting five games with a passer rating of a 100 or greater. He added six rushing touchdowns and 544 yards on 88 attempts (6.2 avg.). Taylor’s 20 combined touchdowns over that stretch tied for an NFL high in 2016 among quarterbacks. In his first four starts with Lynn as offensive coordinator, Taylor led the Buffalo offense to score 124 points en route to four-straight wins. He threw for 668 yards and five touchdowns over those four games while rushing for another. The pair combined in their final game together in Buffalo to lead the Bills offense to a team-record 589 yards of offense, including Taylor throwing for 329 yards and three touchdowns, the first such performances of his career. Taylor spent the 2018 season with the Cleveland Browns, where he appeared in four games, making three starts. AGREED TO TERMS Player Pos. Exp. College Tyrod Taylor QB 9 Virginia Tech .

  • O'halloran: Broncos Trading for Joe Flacco Will Be a Boon Behind The
    O’Halloran: Broncos trading for Joe Flacco will be a boon behind the scenes — and bring a sigh of relief for Vic Fangio By Ryan O’Halloran The Denver Post February 14, 2019 Ten thoughts for new Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco and his 10 career postseason wins: 1. I was guilty of overthinking the Broncos’ plans. I thought Option A might be keeping Case Keenum to begin the season but then giving the 10th overall pick (or higher) a chance to play with an eye toward 2020. Uh, not quite. The Broncos went the Conventional Route. They targeted a veteran quarterback and traded for him. Neat and simple. They also went the Old-School Route. In a developing era of mobile quarterbacks, the Broncos acquired themselves a gunslinger. 2. Flacco was 4-3 all-time against the Broncos (nine touchdowns, five interceptions). At Mile High, he won 38-35 in January 2013 (playoffs), lost 49-27 in the 2013 season opener and lost 19-13 in the 2015 season opener. The playoff win was memorable. Flacco threw a 70-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. The Ravens finished that season by beating San Francisco in the Super Bowl. 3. Flacco is 34 years old. He has never been to the Pro Bowl. He lost his job to a rookie last year. But for a fourth-round pick, he is worth the risk … and, really, it’s not a risk. What stands out about him is completion percentage (64.9 and 64.1 his last two full years), his durability (played all 16 games in nine of his 10 years) and his playoff form (10 wins).

  • Does Addition of Joe Flacco Make the Broncos a Playoff Team? by Ryan O’Halloran & Mark Kiszla Denver Post Feb
    Kiszla vs. O’Halloran: Does addition of Joe Flacco make the Broncos a playoff team? By Ryan O’Halloran & Mark Kiszla Denver Post Feb. 19, 2019 Kiz: Life is weird sometimes. Looking for respite from an arctic blast of winter in Wyoming last week, I sipped on a rye in Joe’s, which is proud to be the smallest bar in Rock Springs. And I was rocked by the news the Broncos had agreed to a trade for Baltimore quarterback Joe Flacco. At first, I thought it must be a joke. Still do. Does football operations chief John Elway seriously think Flacco can be the key to a playoff run in 2019? O’Halloran: I was also surprised since it seems like the Broncos were bidding against themselves for Flacco instead of waiting for him to get released. I highly doubt Elway believes Flacco is the key for the Broncos to be 2019 contenders. And Elway shouldn’t believe Flacco represents even a big piece toward returning to respectability. Over the last four years, Flacco is 24-27 as a starter with 64 touchdowns and 46 interceptions. He is a long way removed from his lights-out postseason in 2012 in which he led the Ravens to the Super Bowl. The Broncos need to add many more players to be playoff-good. Kiz: OK, I get it. The Broncos have had better luck during the past 20 years with quarterbacks plucked from the recycle bin than QBs they selected in the NFL Draft. But Flacco isn’t Peyton Manning. Despite his Super Bowl ring, Flacco isn’t even Jake Plummer.
