Now with even more terrible performances under his belt people think he will be in the mix to start somewhere else? Get the fork out. That’s not totally true. He didn’t want to leave and knew that he could stay even if it meant a reduced rate. That whole “nobody wanted him narrative” is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What isn't false is that nobody wanted him at his original contract. He took a reduced rate with Buffalo because he had no other choice if he wanted to stay.

CommonCents Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The FA QB market is going to be fully stocked this offseason, it will be intresting to see what situation he ends up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have played for more money if he hit FA and was open to leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other Bills player offered the same or more money in the offseason bolted. He wasn't going to be a starter anywhere else, that's why he stayed. We were the only ones willing to say "You'll come into camp as the starter." I don't care what the media says, he just isn't good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalScotts Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 doesnt have to go anywhere...bills hold the option and were talking about 2018.

However, what is known for sure is that the Bills under Whaley and McDermott were not going to keep him under his original contract. That's known for sure.

GoBills! Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'd say Houston would be a good spot backing up Watson, similar style just not as good as Watson. After that its wide wide open jax, Miami, Tennessee, Cleveland, jets. He could start somewhere but he is a plug like fitz and Josh McCown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have played for more money if he hit FA and was open to leaving. Why wouldn't he have bet on himself in Buffalo right? The way he finished the 2016 season he was confident and comfortable. He had Watkins coming back healthy and had no reason to suspect he'd be sharing a backfield with Mike Tolbert. McD really did him dirty since he re-worked that contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kind of stuck with it even if they wanted to get out from under it. Regardless, doubtful Taylor gets starter's money wherever he goes.

So much of what McD has done since he got here has been utterly counter-intuitive. There was really nothing to gain by undermining Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like that's his current cap hit, so I'd put him more at the $8M area. Then again, QB prices go up every year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain’t coming back. I wouldn't say zero but right now looks highly unlikely. If he gets back in and leads some kind of heroic run to 9-7 and wins a wildcard game on the road or something......they will probably be in mind-change mode again. If Peterman does a face plant McD will be in a quandary. Especially having passed on Watson and Mahomes. Oy vey some of the personnel decisions this year.

He’s not playing for less than $10M. You're right he's not playing. He might back up somewhere, at this point he's not better than any starter, he just got benched for a 5th round rookie. What other starters have been benched for 5th round rookies and have gone on and been effective elsewhere? (Bledsoe wasn't benched) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
