Tyrod Taylor, Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills have yet to trade or release Tyrod Taylor, and I don’t think they’ll get rid of him until they have something else in place.

Taylor helped the Bills to their first playoff appearance in two decades, and is a well-respected veteran player in this league.

He played at a high level after leaving Baltimore and signing on with Buffalo, but some feel like he’s sort of maxed out in terms of his potential, which seems to be a 20 touchdown player who doesn’t make a ton of mistakes.

If the Broncos had Tyrod Taylor the past two seasons, I think they would have been contending for AFC West titles. I’m not saying they wouldn’t have had to carry him at times, but I think Taylor is a really smart, dynamic player whose wise decision-making with the football would have been critical for the Broncos.

I still think if the Broncos had this guy, they could win a bunch of games with their defense.

If Denver is able to look at Taylor as a free agent, a $13-15 million price tag per season is not out of the question but would it be worth it if he could help lead the Broncos to the playoffs?
