After four seasons with the 49ers, Taylor played two years with the Cincinnati Bengals and last season with the Chicago Bears. Taylor, 29, has appeared in 78 NFL career games. He has 87 receptions for 834 yards and three touchdowns. He had a standout rookie season with the 49ers with 43 catches for 430 yards and two touchdowns.
