Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be cut
Taylor is a cut candidate this offseason, Aaron Schatz of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Taylor has spent the last three seasons in Kansas City and has drawn a lot of negative attention due to his propensity to be penalized. However, the right tackle has been consistently solid in pass protection throughout his career. While that could be enough for the team to keep him around, Kansas City would save $20 million in cap space if it cut Taylor at any point this offseason.
