Tyrod Taylor opens up on whirlwind offseason as he plans wedding after Packers signing

Tyrod Taylor is having a roller-coaster offseason, both on and off the field.The former Jets quarterback signed with the Green Bay Packers last Monday amid wedding planning with fiancée Bianka Charity-Parker and running his fashion brand, Diallo, a nod to his middle name, Di’allo.“I’m a very private when it comes to my personal life, but I am excited,” a smiling Taylor said in an interview with The Post last month, referring to their engagement.“I’m blessed and happy and thankful to be able to find my partner — and I’m looking forward to just creating lasting memories and moving forward with each other in life.” Taylor and Charity-Parker, who has a Ph.D in Clinical and School Psychology, announced their engagement, which took place in Rome, Italy, in a joint Instagram post on March 16.It came as questions arose about Taylor’s playing future after he spent the last four seasons split between the Giants and Jets as a solid backup option.“I’ve been training really since the season ended and just taking it day by day, but I feel great,” said Taylor, whose 2025 season ended with a groin injury suffered in December.

Taylor, who will turn 37 in August before entering Year 15, made it clear that he is at peace with his career thus far.“I think it’s a story of perseverance, dedication, passion.

I started playing the game of football at age 5 and learned a lot throughout the years.I’m 36 now… I’m thankful for it all,” Taylor said.“My grandma told me a long time ago the sports in itself, the game that I was blessed to play and that I worked so hard to be able to play, it’s only a small portion of your life.

In the grand scheme of things, it teaches you more about life than it does about the sport.So I try to take that perspective when things go well, and when things don’t go so well… and you try to implement that and be a better person in life, cherish the memories and the relationships that you create throughout the game.
