‘Tyrod’s reverse value: On the flip side, the deal shows how valuable Taylor would be if he stayed with the Bills. Smith’s cap hit in 2017 will be $17 million but the full details on his extension have yet to be released. He’ll average $23.5 million a year over it. Taylor, who took the Bills to the postseason, will only have a cap hit of $18 million for the Bills next season. If he stays, Buffalo has approximately $30 million in cap space, depending on how the team works out Eric Wood’s retirement on the salary cap. Finishing out Taylor’s deal might be the best option since he carries an $8.6 million dead cap hit next year if the Bills release to trade him. It’s a sticky situation and I don’t envy Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane when I think about it.’
