John from Riverside Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 For reference, this puts him 23rd amongst QBs in AAV Well for all those folks that are convinced its THEIR money the bills are spending...that should make them feel better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @schadjoe Tyrod Taylors 6 year deal could be worth more than $100 million, per NFL source I hope he gets every penny in that contract. It means his numbers were just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Don't forget I was mocked for saying the Bills should take care of Taylor before the season began. You were not wholly mocked. A lot of discussion took place, and many folks said that a bridge deal would be fine, but that going all-in wouldn't be prudent at this time. It appears that the Bills got the best of both worlds: they have the financials of a bridge deal in place, and the structure of a team-option-based long-term deal in place.

billsfan89 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Most contracts are gambles.... That's true but some are bigger than others. This one is obviously a big gamble. It could hamper their cap in the future if it ends up being a Ftiz situation. But be bold be aggressive and hope it all pans out. I also like the deal as it leaves the franchise tag open to use on Gilmore. I know Gilimore isn't going to sign a tag but if you tag him you give yourselves a chance to trade him.

CommonCents Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 If your going to give him a new contract this is certainly the way to do it. A short term bridge deal would have been more restrictive on the cap. Many mentions of team options which is a good thing, they have nothing behind TT but a long term project in Cardale and staring at the tag price next year for a QB. This actually lessens the risk, he is under team control on a mid-level deal and even if he takes a step back this price is acceptable until you can find another option. Congrats TT!

ndirish1978 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Better than a post with as much depth as me pissing on a driveway. The contract doesn't make the QB. Do you ever get tired of being miserable? It has to get old even for you to always look at the negative side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @SalSports Whaley said there was no "deadline" or "timetable" to try and reach deal before Taylor hit field for first time this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Official numbers , Wow. Whaley basically putting his career in the hands of Tyrod Taylor. That is extremely team friendly for a QB these days...Either you are unaware of how much even below average QBs make these days or you must think Tyrod is in the bottom of the NFL at QB...not sure which is worse the safe play This makes me think back about the Clay restructure. I wonder if they were confident they could get the deal done and needed money this year. No it was just a common sense move to spread it out over multi years so they had money available for FAs which they didn't know how much they would run at the time... This move was done to not potentially have 2 FAs(Taylor and Gilmore) next off season with only one franchise tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I hope he gets every penny in that contract. It means his numbers were just that good. Even if he does perform well and hits all of his incentives, he'll still make under $17 million a year. As ridiculous as this may sound, that is still a very good amount for a starting QB.

DDD Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) 100 million? That's alot of coin for a guy that started one year. Good for him but NFL salaries, and all professional sports for that matter, are absurd. America, where did your common sense go?

Big Turk Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So 15 million a year......with team options? What a great deal! My thought exactly...Bills have REALLY gotten great deals with players resigning the past few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Do you ever get tired of being miserable? It has to get old even for you to always look at the negative side of things. I don't always. Don't hate me for not wanting to lock him up long term yesterday, and not changing my mind the second they do. If you think this is a great deal, that's more than fine. I just disagree.
