Arizona Cardinals are set to acquire cornerback Jamar Taylor from Cleveland Browns. According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, Cardinals will send their 2020 sixth-round pick to Browns in exchange.
Jamar Taylor started 15 games for the Browns in the 2017 season in which he had 48 tackles, 10 pass deflections, and one forced fumble.
Arizona Cardinals were looking for a cornerback to pair with their All-Pro star Patrick Peterson for some time now while the Browns were motivated to move Taylor ever since they drafted Ohio State’s cornerback Denzel Ward with the fourth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Cardinals previously drafted CB Chris Campbell in the sixth round of the draft to address their cornerback issues while also pursuing free-agent Baushad Breeland, who is most likely to sign with the Colts.
Jamar Taylor was drafted into the league in 2013 NFL draft when Miami Dolphins selected him with the 54th overall pick. He didn’t manage to live up to his potential during the three seasons with the team, so Dolphins traded him to the Browns in 2016.
During the five years he spent in the NFL, Taylor played in 64 games and managed 201 total tackles, 27 pass deflections, and 3 interceptions alongside one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
