dave mcbride Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!! TT and Hoyer means not reaching for the weakest part of this draft (QB) while its rich with prospects at critical positions of need like Secondary and WR. It would be so great if they trade back in the first given their need at positions that are stocked through round 3 - safety and cb: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000784501/article/ask-5-which-position-in-2017-nfl-draft-is-the-deepest .

bobobonators Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Let's bring back the whole 7-9 band. (And not play the browns/49ers/jags/Rams). Belichek is lmao'ing RN. Go root for Mitchell* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Best part of this will be the people watching aspect of watching FireChan, Ryan L Billz, and MAJbobby melt down all off season over it lol. It's okay. Once our playoff drought becomes old enough to vote, you'll forget how hard you argued for your boy and I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I hope this staff is prepared for the backlash that will come if Taylor doesn't perform and if this team doesn't make the playoffs. But, hey...the Bills sold tickets to those who wanted to see some exciting plays. This better be a bridge deal with another out after this season with less money than what he was due this season.

xRUSHx Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) the biggest impediment to the Bills winning last season is gone.....Rex Ryan Better hope all goes well on the D side and Tyrod doesn't continue to be Tyrod or this could get real ugly for 2018. If it was Rex that was the real problem then this staff and Tyrod should have no problems at least matching Rex best here Edited March 8, 2017 by xRUSHx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par73 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Taylor is the best option for this year-- unfortunately, this just perpetuates mediocrity. Hopefully, the plan is to continue the search for a franchise guy both in this year's draft (somehow get Mahomes?), and down the road. Certainly lessens the odds of finding "the guy" next year, as the record will likely be just good enough to miss the top guys (looks like the "tank for Darnold" idea is dead in the water).

Yeah, trade back in this draft isnt a bad thing at all, especially considering we only have 3 picks in first 4 rounds. However, I suspect the trade up market is going to be thin this year for the same reason. Not sure how many teams are going to want to give up assets in what is being seen as a very deep draft to move up. Takes two to tango. If we could say move from 10 down to 15-20 and pick up an extra pick or two then that would be ideal. Although, there are some guys at 10 I would hate to pass on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Now the fun actually begins... I think it's hilarious that anyone, when looking objectively and not emotionally at this entire situation, actually believed it was very likely or even likely that Taylor wouldn't be back in Buffalo. That said, I don't know the terms of the restructure, but I wish Buffalo just kept him on his current contract because unless Taylor took a paycut (which I don't believe he did), this just kicks the can of Cap money down the road. On a side note, this move alone says something about the way Buffalo actually feels about Tyrod Taylor's ability to play QB. And that something seems to be a far cry from the lost media and so-called "experts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We werent going to be worse than SF, CLE, and NYJ anyway. Those 3 are all seeming to head down the tank for rosen/darnold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I hope someone posts an actual thread about the specific details of the entire restructured contract. Is it a restructure? Is it a pay cut? What is it? It's been posted. It's a restructure. Cap down from 16mil to under 10 mil. Looks like it's a 5-year deal where after year 3 it's year-to-year.

T-Bomb Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I hope this staff is prepared for the backlash that will come if Taylor doesn't perform and if this team doesn't make the playoffs. What QB option would have performed better than Taylor and gotten them to the playoff's? And plz don't say Romo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If I'm reading Vic correctly, they basically converted $7M off his 2017 base salary to a signing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverboat Richie Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 So another year not trying to take a QB in the draft... Why is everyone okay with this? I'm sick of, "this year's QB draft isn't great, wait 'til next year". I feel like I read that EVERY YEAR! Don't fall for that crap and take QB's! Why is this so complicated!? They were never at no time going to take a QB at #10, Not this year. They could still take one in the 3rd or 4th but not before and it depends on who is available at the time. They went with the best option, just like Bills fans want them to do. Choose the best option. I know you really were not asking them to reach and hope for a rookie to start this coming season were you? How was that going to work out? They played the best hand they had. It's not over yet.

Watkins90 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I, for one, m happy with this. I have thought all along that we should be bringing him back. Our offense hasn't been this good in a while and I truly think he will be able to get us over the hump and at least into the playoffs. A few more key pieces around him and we could be Super Bowl bound or just bound for 2-14 and looking at the qb class of 2019 for our saving grace.
