According to Adam Schefter, the Falcons are signing OT Jawaan Taylor to a one-year, $5 million deal that includes an additional $1 million available through incentives.
The Chiefs signed Taylor as a free agent a few years ago in the hope he could play left tackle for them. However, Taylor struggled a lot penalties and the move ultimately never lived up to what Kansas City was hoping he could be for them, leading to him being released last month.
Taylor, 28, is a former second-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2019 out of Florida. He finished the final year of his four-year, $7,916,458 rookie contract that included a $3,777,424 signing bonus.
Taylor signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the Chiefs as an unrestricted free agent in 2023. He was due a base salary of $19.5 million for the 2026 season when Kansas City cut him loose this offseason.
In 2025, Taylor appeared in 12 games for the Chiefs and started all of them.
