Patriots grab a practice squad flier on a former first-round edge rusher looking for depth. Multiple outlets covered the signing, signaling New England's interest in playoff-push reinforcements ahead of divisional play. Taylor's release from Houston suggests limited immediate impact potential despite elite pedigree and athleticism. Fans debate whether this reflects Patriots' desperation or a savvy depth move before postseason. New England needs consistent edge rush production; this represents a low-risk audition rather than a solution.
