7th highest scoring offense in 2016 2 pro bowl invites 7th in passer rating and 9th in total qbr in 2015 when he had 3 WR's careful what you wish for....things can get a whole lot worse.

keep tyrod AND draft a qb on first or second day of draft.

he averages $1.5 mil/yr.....that is likely great value....let's see what he has first.

​sam kahn jr espn staff writer Myles Garrett said he was a little caught off guard by the national reaction to his video of him jokingly pleading the Dallas Cowboys to draft him. "I've already said I like the Cowboys because that's my hometown team. But I want to go No. 1. Whoever that is, if that's Cleveland, I have no problem going up there and playing with them. I'm going to love whatever team and organization that I'm a part of."

EJ is a bust. Cardale couldn't even beat out EJ. he ain't ready and never will be. the chances of hitting on a draft choice better than TT is about 10%. the chances of signing a free agent who wants to come to buffalo and is better than TT is about 1%. bite the bullet and keep TT whether or not he makes that contract a little more to the bills liking. add a RT & WR and you got something.

Vic's source is likely Russ Brandon. Brandon is saying to himself, how the heck am i going to sell season tickets, suites & sponsors with Cardale as QB. this is Brandon applying public & private pressure on whaley to address the QB situation in a splashy way if they move on from TT so russ can do his job.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport echoed Carucci's report but added that there is a "very real possibility" Taylor will be amenable to altering his salary-cap number as long as it doesn't involve a pay cut. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000785278/article/real-possibility-tyrod-taylor-open-to-altered-contract

When all is said and done, the Bills could very well determine their best move is to swallow hard and stroke the check for Taylor. Otherwise, they might be inclined to follow through with a plan that is thought to be appealing to at least one member of their hierarchy, General Manager Doug Whaley, and that is going with Cardale Jones as the starter. http://buffalonews.com/2017/02/10/bills-quarterback-options-beyond-taylor-look-slim/ "thought to be appealing"

doesn't want to be seen wearing browns gear ? http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2017/02/10/myles-garrett-draft-plans-cleveland-browns-first-pick/97755776/

bills with TT 10-6 wild card bills without TT 4-12

keep TT for 3 years and draft a QB on the 1st or 2nd day.

PFF ranks Tyrod Taylor No. 1 available* QB this offseason Pro Football Focus' Sam Monson wrote a column recently that identified Taylor as the "top target" of teams needing a quarterback this offseason. "The Bills structured Taylor’s contract in such a way that there is a significant financial incentive not to keep him, because they have to hand him over $25 million in cash if he remains with Buffalo for the 2017 season," Monson wrote. "The deal itself still only averages out at around $16 million per year over the first three seasons of his extension – which Taylor is clearly worth in the current market – but the fact that it’s so heavily weighted in cash terms for this coming season means there’s a decent chance they balk and cut him loose. http://buffalonews.com/2017/02/08/pff-ranks-tyrod-taylor-no-1-available-qb-offseason/

Patriots in great salary cap shape heading into 2017 The Patriots have to feel particularly good about where they stand compared to the rest of their division: The Dolphins have $29 million in cap space, the Bills have $27 million and the Jets are $7 million over the cap http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/08/patriots-in-great-salary-cap-shape-heading-into-2017/

trade down

it'd be nice to have a qb problem

salary cap impact if Cowboys trade Tony Romo in offseason http://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/2016/11/15/dallas-cowboys-total-2017-salary-cap-impact-if-cowboys-trade-tony-romo-in-offseason/

whaley to dallas....."hey, what are you asking for in a trade for tony romo?" LaCanfora..... "bills have significant interest in tony romo."

keep TT & draft a qb on first or second day

this is more about Belichick's long term mind set on building a team vs julio jones. #1- he doesn't like to trade UP......avoids the all your eggs in one basket approach (high draft pick or high priced veteran), he prefers to trade down and spread out the cap hit and risk of injury over several players for the same amount of money. #2- prefers to invest more in front 7 type players.......picks WR's & RB's off the scrap heap.

trade "up" for watson ?....no use #10 on him.....yes I would keep TT & pick watson

total crap shoot on circumstances... take dak prescott....dallas wanted connor cook....raiders trade up ahead of dallas in 4th round to get cook...... dallas is left with dak......romo gets injured......rookie gets a chance behind best O-line in football....the rest is history had dak been drafted by another team....he may never had gotten one start.
