Chilly Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The tucker quote is silly. There have been qbs that played out deals. If all is accurate - this is a steal of a deal for the team. I think Ross is trying to say that everyone criticizing Tyrod would take the same exact deal they were in Tyrod's shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 @usatodaysports Strip away the big numbers on Tyrod Taylors new contract with the Buffalo Bills, and heres the rub. Breaking down Bills QB Tyrod Taylor's 5-year, $90 million deal http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/bills/2016/08/12/tyrod-taylor-contract-extension/88642352/ So basically he's making the same money as Osweiler but we have an out at any point in the first two years of it. Seems good to me. I get the feeling those year 2 number are what solidified the deal. Now he will play this season for a major payday in his second year.

Ohiostyle Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Not a bad deal all around. Well played. I like Tyrod a lot. If it doesn't work out, I'd say he earned his 2yr/37m more than Osweiler. Edited August 13, 2016 by Ohiostyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 The best part about this signing is locking up Taylor long term. The second is how mad it makes our fans that don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 So is TT Rex' qb then? Yeah, you could say they are joined at the hip and Whaley, too. The entire organization for that matter. If TT succeeds, Rex and Co. will succeed and Whaley and the rest of the front office will have turned the tide. The upside is, that if TT doesn't pan out, the financial ramifications are mitigated.

Rico Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) So is TT Rex' qb then? Well, he's always been. Now I didn't listen to the audio, but if this post is correctly paraphrased, he was definitely thankful to the Pegulas and Rex for giving him the opportunity with the Bills. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/187705-8-12-whaley-and-tyrod-talk-about-the-contract-extension/?p=4005044 Edited August 13, 2016 by Rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Interesting. That 2017 number eats about $25m of the estimated $32m cap space (based on the cap going up about $10-11m or so again). So if they were able to get Gilmore at around the tag price they'd need to make a few cuts. I think it pretty much confirms Kyle Williams will not be a Bill in 2017 unless he is willing to play for a pittance. EDIT: I would like not the spread the hit across the length of Tyrod's deal if possible. I'd only do that if he absolutely lights it up in 2016 because if he just takes a small step I want to maintain the future flexibility. I could be mistaken, but I don't believe it is a 25M cap hit for 2017, I think it would be somewhere closer to $17-18M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 12m is his base salary so that sounds about right. A roster bonus isn't amortized (though they could convert it to signing bonus) The interesting situation will be if he takes a slight step back but doesn't collapse or he's nagging injury. That's a big option next year. Ideally it's an easy choice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 So, 15 of his 27 mil salary in 2017 is a bonus. He gets it all at once, but from a cap perspective, doesn't it get split up among the remaining 5 years? So basically, it's a 12 mil cap hit plus 3 mil bonus, bringing him up to 15 mil against the cap in 2017? If true, this is an even better deal for the team than I thought, all while TT gets taken care. I'm very impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
