The Packers have seen a lot of shakeups at guard in the last two seasons after cutting Josh Sitton in 2016 and letting T.J. Lang hit free agency this spring, so, needless to say, some stablility at the position is nice. It's a bonus that Taylor got a solid 16 starts in 2016, because free-agent acquisition Jahri Evans, who is holding down the right side, has yet to play a snap in the Green and Gold.
But that stability won't last long.
With Taylor's signing, this iteration of the starting five—from left, David Bakhtiari, Taylor, Corey Linsley, Evans, and Bryan Bulaga—will remain intact for only one year.
