His value on the open market is going to be between 24-28M a year And you really believe that people with inside information use a CHAT ROOM to relay this 'knowledge'? Hahahaha! its far more likely that it's a junior high student sitting there in his pajamas. Or, of course....a Russian!

They can move on from him in a year with a relatively minimal cap hit of $8.64 million or let him play out the last year of his contract and let him become a free agent. His earlier contract ran through 2021." Well I guess it's not technically an option. It's just that we can cut him without a huge Cap hit in the first 4 or 5 days of the new league year. My misunderstanding. I guess Taylor's even more likely to still be a Buffalo Bill next year than I thought. Still misunderstanding, if we cut or trade Taylor his amortized bonus will accelerate and we'll be on the hook for $8.64M (trade or cut/signed elsewhere) or $9.64M (cut and not signed elsewhere). But if we trade him in the first 4 days (or what have you) of the New League Year we don't pay his $6M roster bonus (which is a separate deal from the $8.64 cap hit from the amortized bonus). That's why I don't see Taylor being traded for a late draft pick, myself. If he's cut and signed, the new team can negotiate freely. If he's traded for, the new team is on the hook for $16M ($7M bonus and guaranteed salary, $9M additional salary) 11 minutes ago, HappyDays said: He is saying Bud Carpenter's wife is from Dunkirk, not Cousin's wife. I made that mistake myself. Too challenging for me to sus out the meaning correctly.

Can you explain what Cousin's personal ties to WNY are, according to the OP? I can't make out what the OP is saying; his writing would be unacceptable in a 3rd grade classroom.

He said Peterman's concussion was a lot worse than they thought but yet he is throwing today at practice. Not cleared yet but if he was having headaches, etc... he wouldn't be out there. Because so many people take the time to offer lists of what sounds like the opinions of some inside and organization, just so they can be attacked by people like you. Anyone who knows anything about concussions knows that they are one of the most difficult things to diagnose, and that recovery times are some of the most difficult things to predict. You have zero evidence by which to make such a statement, and I could care less about your armchair opinions. Your the one looking for attention, so if you don't have anything constructive to offer to the conversation, share your medical opinions with someone else. Edited December 13, 2017 by MURPHD6

Then I think it's a lot more likely than most thought that Taylor remains a Bill for the 2018 season. It'll be an interesting offseason, to say the least.

Well aware that it takes people different times. When Kobb got concussed or karlos Williams were they on the field running or throwing? The answer is no.

Sign Cousins, then trade up for Barkley? I mentioned this already. The problem the Bills find themselves in is a lack of young depth and strength on both sides of the ball, up the middle of the field. IMHO it makes zero sense to bring in a veteran QB for a couple of years with so few 'weapons' to surround him with. By the time that depth and strength develops, your free agent QB will be over the hill. At some point this team is going to have start fresh....like the Cowboys did with Aikman, Irvin and Smith, etc....or even the Rams, by first building an Offensive and Defensive Line...or any one of a number of other examples.

Teams have to have multiple contingency plans for multiple positions always. It's not like he is just saying "we will or won't go for Cousins." He is is saying "the Bills WILL go for Cousins unless he is franchised tagged again." Doesn't mean we will 100% get him, but we will try. If we don't get him, we need another plan. Lots of things are still up in the air and none of it is absolutely crazy. Why can't we have some fun discussing these possibilities and give the guy benefit of the doubt for now? How is that not more fun than just waiting for the offseason news to break? Why?? Because some people on this board can't seem to manage their emotions and thoughts without typing first.
