John from Riverside Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Nothing will change for this franchise unless Rex decides to play fast on offense and maximize Tyrod's potential by telling him to gain chunks of yardage with his feet whenever possible. Handing off to RBs 60% of the time in today's NFL is for losers. We will know if this team is going anywhere in the first couple weeks. You know you could have at least been a little more creative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 This couldn't have turned out better for us. Let's hope he steps it up and we don't have to worry about options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 WGR was really trying to find ways to bash the contract this morning. Anyone else catch that? Not sure if just to drum up callers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 WGR was really trying to find ways to bash the contract this morning. Anyone else catch that? Not sure if just to drum up callers. I don't think that they understand it. It is like Colin Cowherd. It's strange to me that you have people controlling a conversation on a topic that the audience understands better than the host. Can you imagine if this was politics? The candidate was just spouting off a bunch of things and the people in the crowd are actually like, "well that's not true. I don't think that this guy/woman know what he/she is talking about?" Take it a step further and make it a car salesman. Imagine buying a car and the guy is running through a bunch of features for you but you actually are the one educating him on what they are. It is an odd dynamic when the audience's understanding exceeds that of the people controlling the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 @SalSports If Taylor plays all of deal in current form, cap (via @mikerodak): 2016: $6.9M '17: $15.9M '18: $16.8M '19: $17.4M '20: $17.6M '21: $17.6M Also, as far as any info I've received, there is NO buyout clause in Taylor's deal. Bills do NOT have to pay to get out of deal in any year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsForever Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) With all the news coming out recently Tyrod was pretty smart to take this contract. With the previous contract he didn't have the luxury of the Bills being bad this year and still getting paid. Now he doesn't have to worry about that outcome.

ALF Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 That's the safest contract ever for the Bills. Wish we had a structure like that for all players , minimal guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at how the contract is structured, you wouldn't say such silly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
