Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 @viccarucci Tyrod Taylor's agent isn't happy w #Bills' stance of not giving his client a contract extension before the 2016 season. Con't. Adisa Bakari, TT's rep: "Its the Bills prerogative to do what they want to do as it relates to Tyrod Taylor or any other Bills player ...

Looks like Tyrod Taylor will play under final yr of contract in '16 as #Bills focus elsewhere for long-term deals: http://bills.buffalonews.com/2016/03/21/bills-taylor-make-little-progress-on-contract-extension/ Woah woah woah... Since Kelly? Bledsoe or Flutie would have been a fine place to start, but he went all in right up front... Wonder what his position is... Top 10 NFL QB money with boatloads guaranteed?
FLFan Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Color me shocked that the agent is upset that the bills are not serious about an extension right now. That is certainly big news.
YoloinOhio Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Woah woah woah... Since Kelly? Bledsoe or Flutie would have been a fine place to start, but he went all in right up front... Wonder what his position is... Top 10 NFL QB money with boatloads guaranteed? carucci said that the agent proposed something in January ... I need to know what it was. Come on Vic, get the real scoop.
Nihilarian Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 There is money for an extension, he already has a deal this year. Just add on new years and money. Taylor want's that guaranteed money and a fat signing bonus. More like his agent wants it. I can see why Whaley and the Bills would want to wait awhile to see how TT performs this season simply because he has not elevated himself into an elite QB just yet. The system he was in allowed him to develop, grow and get better as he went because of the run-centric offense Roman ran. When it came time to throw more than run, then TT didn't fare so well. It makes no sense to give the kid a Cousins or Osweiler type contract simply because he might just end up looking like a Kaepernick, RG3, Mark Sanchez, Geno Smith after this year should the Bills want him to start throwing like an elite QB.
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) ok but we have virtually no money for any kind of increase this year (and we would want TT to take more up front money to keep his cap low? I would have a LOT of respect if TT would just come out and say...."my time will come at the table" You could easily structure an extension so it doesn't increase his cap hit this year. Tyrod would get a lot more money in 2016 because of his signing bonus. Tyrod doesnt need to say anything, just show up and play. Edited March 21, 2016 by TheTruthHurts
ndirish1978 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 This guy is a joke anyway, watch the video documenting Tyrod's draft process, the agent is completely clueless. Yes, it's agent gonna agent behavior, but he's not a very good agent.
Doc Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Bakari: Fortunately, there are 31 other teams that have watched and will be watching Tyrod My Response: Which ones starting next year are/could pay him. I think like maybe 10 without thinking, so its not 31 other teams More Bakari on Tyrod Taylor: "If that isnt enough to warrant an extension, I dont know what will be. My Response: Get us to the playoffs and dont be 0-5 when throwing over 30 times. Even EJ has a better win percentage than that when throwing more than 30 times. This.

If his client keeps it up then he will get his portion next offseason. F*****r
White Linen Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 yep. yawn. nothing to see here, except some negotiating through twitter which probably wont have the effect he's hoping for. Just embarrassing himself and it's so obvious that's not TT's personality.- so it's not like he's "representing" his feelings.
Doc Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Idiot Texans. Giving a guy with 7 fewer starts $18M/year.
KollegeStudnet Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I am grateful for Tyrod and his play. His agent set the bar for his contract. Take the team to the playoffs, then the money will come. 👍
PromoTheRobot Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 What have I been saying? What have I been saying? They laughed at me but whose laughing now?
papazoid Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 there's a pecking order and it starts with signing Glenn and Gilmore to long term deals.......then comes TT
Big Hurt Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Tyrod, keep dreaming. Do you think you are really that good? You are not even that young and you are a little guy that get hurt all the time. You are lucky to be a back up. I don't even think you are capable of starting 16 games next year. You got something to say?
BillsVet Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I know that a agent needs to do their job......but in all seriousness.....can this agent add? THERE IS NO MONEY TO DO THIS AT THE PRESENT TIME That agent doesn't care a whit about your favorite team. He wants to get his client paid and is trying to create leverage.
fansince88 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 When Doug goes Rogue.....This agent will be happy!
White Linen Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 That agent doesn't care a whit about your favorite team. He wants to get his client paid and is trying to create leverage. Yet he didn't create any leverage.
fansince88 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 What have I been saying? What have I been saying? They laughed at me but whose laughing now? What have you been saying?
PromoTheRobot Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 What have you been saying?That TT wasn't going to be happy in 2016 unless he was shown some love.
NoSaint Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 That TT wasn't going to be happy in 2016 unless he was shown some love. And yet, this doesn't mean you are right
