Tyrod Taylor’s contract: A fair deal?

When the Buffalo Bills signed Tyrod Taylor as a free agent prior to the 2015 NFL season, he was a little-used backup who had spent his career behind Joe Flacco while a member of the Baltimore Ravens.

Since winning the starting quarterback job in the 2015 season, Taylor has missed 3 starts, totaling 29 games as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Also in that timeframe, Taylor has, in the following order:

  • signed a contract extension worth 5 years and 90 million dollars
  • had the team decline the option on said contract extension
  • signed a renegotiated extension that pays him 30.
