YoloinOhio Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) @billsdaily Ian Rapoport just said on NFL network that it is more likely the Bills keep Tyrod Taylor than move on from him. Edited February 21, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Lol. Didn't he say two weeks ago they will probably move on? Exactly. This situation has reached, "wait till it happens," status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I wonder who is giving Rapaport the info. Taylor's agent? I hope that if this is true there is a QB drafted in the first 2 rounds by this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This is all guesswork. "More likely?" Clearly the leaking faucet has been fixed; all of these guys are just guessing based upon some shrugged shoulders when they ask their sources for info.

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Honestly.... I'm glad that they aren't airing all their dirty laundry anymore. We'll find out when everyone else does. As it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that if this is true there is a QB drafted in the first 2 rounds by this team. I'd rather they wait till 2018 draft where the QB pool is reported to be a better one....they did the same thing when drafting some other QB's like EJ...EJ was drafted in a year that the QB pool was reported as weak..the next year both Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr could have been had in the 1st and Jimmy Garoppolo we could have taken in the 2nd...the Bills did the same thing in an earlier draft, cant remember if it was the Losman or Edwards draft, but they took a QB then the next draft better QB options where there...most teams don't draft a QB in round 1 then turn around and grab another the next year...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I won't kill them but it's such a Bills move. Draft 2 young guys and have them and Jones and an old vet nettle it out. Taylor is spinning your wheels. He's not the worst starting qb in the league but he's just meh with big play potential. We are winning 6-8 games no matter who the qb is. Get a guy who can be a real legit qb or hope you go 2-14 and draft a guy next year (Rosen has just been hurt, he's legit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Isn't this what Rapaport had reported back in January? Not really anything new from him, seems to just keep suggesting the same thing... Edited February 21, 2017 by Wayne Cubed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a guy who can be a real legit qb or hope you go 2-14 and draft a guy next year (Rosen has just been hurt, he's legit). The Bills move would be what they have already done before: Flush any veteran talent from your team before you have their replacement ready, and throw rookies and new Free Agents into the fire with little to no development. Cutting Taylor and trying to roll with rookies/FA is exactly what happened when we cut Fitz, HAD to draft a QB, and then HAD to start him before he was ready. Doing it again is spinning your wheels and not learning from mistakes. Keep Taylor, STILL DRAFT a QB, and develop that rookie and Jones while Taylor holds down the fort. Develop your young QBs and your offensive system without being FORCED to do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Looks like they're restructuring his deal. Have been working on it the past few days. Per BF Insiders. https://twitter.com/bf_insiders/status/834051007223123968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping him doesn't stop you from drafting more QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why I said "looks like" they're restructuring his deal. Why else would he be meeting with the Bills front office "for a few days now"?

They scored 5 less points. I'm for keeping Gilmore and most of our FAs. I don't see there being a huge drop off between Taylor and a young qb. And if there is, good. Much better to go 2-14 than 7-9 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 There hasn't been much news since December outside of coaching hires. Does this prove that Rex not only had a big mouth with the press, but also behind the scenes leaking things out of OBD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Dooomed, hope the restructure will allow us to walk away if he regresses again. I think that a restructure is probably moving money into the 1st 2 years of the deal. I am actually changing my tune a little on what I think that I thought. Here is what I am thinking it will look like 4 years $80M (this number is totally meaningless), $32M guaranteed with $28M guaranteed in the 1st 2 years. It will be a sliding scale too. Something like this: $8M signing bonus ($2M cap hit in each of the 4 years), $10M salary year one (fully guaranteed), $8M roster bonus in year one and $6M of his year 2 salary guaranteed.
