Check the "2019 Nickel" row. SEA's nickel personnel was terrible. Sure Taylor isn't solely responsible for this, but he was so bad for a bad unit they cut him. Of course every DB looks better with a good pass rush aiding them so hopefully that's the case for JTaylor in SF.

I just hope this effective swap of DJ Reed (younger player who can play safety) for Taylor doesn't come back to bite 49ers in the ass.
