Bills realize the stupidity of their quarterback decision

Bills return QB Taylor as starter against Chiefs

Tyrod Taylor to start Sunday for Bills after disastrous Nate Peterman outing
‘Taylor’s contract has all sorts of weird language. He has an out after this season that would result in about $8.6 million of dead cap space. Given how things are going now, the Bills may want to move on from him, although La Canfora reports the Bills will try to trade him first before waiving him. However, given Peterman’s outing, it’s clear he isn’t ready to start. The Bills could go QB in the draft, but that’s a roll of the dice as well. Taylor certainly seems to have a lot of leverage, but it’s obviously up to the Bills to decide if they’re ready to move past him after this year.’
