We hear this every year and every year, the Chargers determine that a veteran backup is better than a rookie prospect. That will be the case again in 2019 as the team has agreed to a two-year deal with veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor.
While other teams around the league are throwing money around at the big names, Tom Telesco continues to operate quietly, choosing experience and leadership over potential and hype.
This is a curious move for the Chargers and for Taylor, particularly considering that the Miami Dolphins were linked to Taylor as their potential starting quarterback next season.
