Rapaport: Bills won’t cut Tyrod, fine with paying 6 mill bonus

I'd much rather use the cap 6 mill on a position of need and avoid the 2019 dead cap hit by cutting him. What do you realistically think you can trade Tyrod for? A 5th maybe? There are so many better options then this.

 

 

 

I would look at as more of a trade chip vs what you can get for him on his own. For example, maybe he is packaged with picks to Cleveland to get to 4.

I was just going to post this. I happened to be watching it. It’s starting to look like Tyrod and a rookie to me. 

as it should be. Financially sound. Lets them fill holes and look to the future.
we all know the big question

Which QB, and when , and how much does it cost to get their guy ?

Couple good things about keeping Taylor:

 

1.) If we cut him and failed to land a top free agent, we would be empty handed which is a possibility because we don't have as much cap space as other teams.

 

2.) We aren't in a frenzy to draft a QB, the board can come to us and it will be harder for other teams to see our hand.

 

3.) Taylor has 1 year on his deal, perfect bridge QB. Sit the rookie down, start Taylor and let him walk after his contract expires.

 

4.) Cutting Taylor and signing another middle of the road QB would take up more valuable cap space for essentially the same results.

 

5.) If we do land a rookie QB that is showing dominant traits early on, we can trade Taylor to a team that has an injured starter or a team that failed to draft or sign a viable option in free agency.

 

6.) His teammates love him.

 

7.) We made the playoffs with Tyrod with a Swiss cheese roster, we can do it again with 4 picks in the top 2 rounds.

Easiest way to piss away millions just to get stuck with him.

 

We need a veteran here so we aren't forced to rush the rookie. If it isn't Tyrod it's gonna be someone else that hasn't accomplished anything in their career. Sit back relax and let the off-season play out. It's no secret the Bills want to go all in on a franchise QB.

...probably best case......so you'd be paying $6 mil for a 5th.....maybe McBeane is looking at packaging it.....still think he preserves upper draft capital (1sts and 2nds) but who knows?...now if that 5th got us another Kyle Williams 5th, we're on to something .......right.........

Wow, one report and everyone is up in arms. Having said that, IF true this makes sense. It’s kind of like in baseball when a team trades a player but eats a portion of the salary. I can see Tyrod in orange and blue and someone saying ‘ the Bills are paying you $6million not to play there’.

It's all out of my hands. The only thing one can hope for is a package deal somehow in the works already like you described behind the scenes already.

 

Some of the other opinions make me scratch my head though, like keeping TT as a bridge to groom a rookie? Do we really want Tyrod to mentor our next possible "high" drafted 1st rd pick rookie? I sure as hell don't...

 

I truly want this FO to be successful. If they botch this up It could be the end of the line. For once this is one of the better FA QB years along with several promising draft prospects at QB.

....any progress reports on the dome construction yet?......

"My sources are saying there have been high level negotiations with the EPA to give a tax credit to solyndra to make the new stadium totally green. Solyndra will lease the adjacent land from our development to place their solar panels. Our attorneys are lobbying Donald Trump to hold a rally at the groundbreaking ceremony."

...perhaps incorrect, but thought I heard Dunkirk Don agreed to donate his endless stream of "natural fertilizer" to ensure a natural grass field......based on its "quality", better plan on mowing that bad boy four times a day........just sayin'...............
