Texans sign Tyrod Taylor with incentive laden contract

[Zod]

From the twitter:

New Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor's one-year contract has a maximum value of $12.5 million, if all incentives are triggered. Base value under $6 million, per league source.

 

Why sign a backup QB to a contract with incentives?

I saw that last night.  I guess the Texans are going to be trading Watson sooner rather than later.  Though with a lot of vet QB moves, it's going to be interesting to see where he ends up.

I'd love him here, I just don't want to give up half the team to get him.

Hope this lawsuit is not legit if so we will not try to trade for him, plus if this drags out we have to be ready to draft another qb

Problems solved. Easterby wins again. 

We may stink as a team but it's nice to not be Houston.

Just means they are prepping for a hold out.

They needed a backup in case he holds out or gets injured

In case your starter decides to hold out during the season.
