Trent Taylor News
The Chicago Bears are signing wide receiver/punt returner Trent Taylor, who was cut by the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday, to their 53-man roster on Wednesday, according to a source. The Bears also claimed defensive end Khalid Kareem off waivers from the Indianapolis Colts and defensive back Quindell Johnson from the Los Angeles Rams and cut defensive end Terrell Lewis. Taylor will serve as a return option and as receiver depth for the Bears to open the 2023 regular season. The 29-year-old had 340 yards on punt returns in 2022 in Cincinnati. He's not on the fantasy radar.
Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Trent Taylor and Trenton Irwin have competition this summer in rookie Charlie Jones, who was taken in the fourth round of this year's draft. Jones is a younger, faster slot receiver with return abilities. The Athletic's Jay Morrison writes that it feels as though there will be only one spot for a guy with the skill set that Taylor and Jones share. Irwin is the current backup to Tyler Boyd in the slot, but he'll have to hold off Jones to keep that role. Irwin may have bought himself some time by stepping up in the middle of last year when Ja'Marr Chase missed four games with an injury. But as the team's WR4, there isn't much wiggle room for Irwin if Jones really impresses the coaching staff in training camp.
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed punt returner/wide receiver Trent Taylor to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Taylor was third in the NFL in punt-return average and fourth in total punt-return yards in 2022. The 28-year-old wasn't much of a factor on offense, though, in the last two years for Cincinnati, catching eight of his 13 targets for 103 yards and no touchdowns in 20 games (one start). He spent the first three years of his career with the San Francisco Giants, catching 79 passes for 731 yards and three touchdowns in 41 games played (two starts). Taylor will continue to be a non-factor in fantasy leagues.
