This is the guys seventh year in the league and does have familiarity with Dennison.

 

If the offense is just so complex it's causing him to struggle early on...

 

Make excuses all you want but the way Buffalo handled his contract this off season proves us fans aren't the only ones who aren't sold.

 

 

Let's break it down :

Really? He played under Dennison a few years ago, so a whole new playbook isn't a whole new playbook?

Really? Most accounts I've read (Rodak aside) say he's had a pretty even camp so far. Also, please remember we're just at Day Seven.

Contract time : Whaley's old Taylor deal was a simultaneous bet TT would be spectacular or hideous. If the former, he was locked in for very moderate money. If the latter, the Bills could cut him outright. It wasn't a great deal for Taylor as he got neither absolute guarantees or freedom, but it did give him one thing : real starter's money for the first time in his career. Now, what Whaley's deal didn't cover was TT as just good (neither spectacular or hideous), which proved the case. So, renegotiation. Again, look for what people wanted and got : The Bills wanted to punt the issue down the road. If Taylor is hideous he can be jettisoned next year with a small penalty. But this time Taylor gets freedom with his starter's money. He's not locked in long-term and will do better overall than his old deal if he plays well. And there's a reasonably good chance Taylor & the Bills will be right back renegotiating after the upcoming season. All of which is fine w/ TT. Because one person who is sold on Taylor is Taylor.
