Former Washington Huskies standout Taylor Rapp is on the lookout for a new team as NFL free agency approaches. After three seasons with the Buffalo Bills, Rapp’s time in Buffalo came to an early end due to a knee injury that placed him on injured reserve after just six games, during which he recorded 26 tackles.
With the Bills undergoing significant changes, including the dismissal of head coach Sean McDermott, Rapp was part of a roster shakeup as a salary cap casualty. This move frees up $3 million for the Bills as they prepare for the upcoming season. Now 28 years old, Rapp is set to enter his eighth season in the league, searching for his third team.
During his collegiate career at Washington, Rapp showcased his talent, and he continued to demonstrate his skills in the NFL. He was part of the Los Angeles Rams team that won the Super Bowl in 2021 and has accumulated impressive statistics over his career, including 488 tackles, with 11 for loss, 2 sacks, 31 pass breakups, 12 interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries, and 2 forced fumbles.
Despite facing injury challenges throughout his career, having missed 25 games total, Rapp remains a valuable asset for teams looking to bolster their secondary. His experience and playmaking ability make him one of the top available players at his position as he heads into free agency, likely on a short-term deal that could benefit a team needing veteran leadership and skill in their defensive lineup.
