4 Potential Landing Spots for Tyrod Taylor

The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t openly said they are ready to move on from Blake Bortles but the writing is on the wall. He has taken a major step backwards in his development and is one of the main reasons the team struggled this year.
Jacksonville is likely looking for a new head coach who feels they can work with Bortles. However, they might be better off making an offer for Tyrod Taylor. The Jaguars have plenty of talent on the roster and realistically should be competing for the AFC South title.
Taylor would have some nice receiving options in Jacksonville. They have Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Marqise Lee and Julius Thomas in the mix. All have shown big-play ability and have seen their numbers drop due to Bortles’ poor play.
Defensively, the Jaguars should take a major step forward next season. They have a lot of young talent that is just now starting to reach their potential.
The factor in Taylor landing with the Jaguars is the head coaching search. Jacksonville needs to find an exciting coach capable of bringing a spark. Targeting an offensive minded coach seems to make the most sense whether it’s to help Bortles turn his career around or to land Taylor.
