The Facts: It appears more and more as if the Bills will allow Taylor to enter the 2016 NFL season under the final year of his contract rather than work out a long-term extension with the quarterback. There has been little, if any, progress in negotiations to extend Taylor's deal. GM Doug Whaley confirmed that when he said, "There's some work to be done" in talks for an extension.

Diehards Line: No long-term offer has been made to Taylor, a source News staffer Vic Carucci, although Taylor's representative is known to have approached the Bills with a proposal in January. Taylor is due to receive $3 million this year, $2 million in base pay and an incentive bonus of $1 million. Despite Taylor's solid first season as an NFL starter in 2015, the Bills aren't convinced enough that he is their franchise-quarterback answer to make a financial investment commensurate with that status, the source told Carucci. The Bills appear willing to take their chances on Taylor showing dramatic improvement in his second season as a starter and, therefore, commanding big money as an impending free agent. That would put them in the position of either signing him before he were to hit the open market or giving him a franchise tag.
