The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ...With a chance to finally be the unquestioned starter for an NFL team and get all the reps that go along with that, Taylor vowed Monday not to let his contract situation become a distraction as he prepares for the 2016 season. "(The contract is) not really a focus of mine," he told reporters after the Bills' first workout of their offseason conditioning program. "I'm coming here to work, to prepare myself physically and mentally for the 2016 season. The business side handles itself, whether it gets done or not. Like I said it handles itself. I am just here to work and get better as a player."

Diehards Line: Taylor is entering the final year of a contract that pays him only $2 million as a base salary. He can earn another $1 million through incentives. Those totals are the lowest in the league for any full-time starter not playing on his rookie deal. But the 27-year old signal-caller says he’ll remain upbeat as the offseason wears on and into the 2016 season, with or without a new deal. “I am here to work. That is what I came here to do," he said. "We are preparing for the 2016 season. I am looking forward to it.” Taylor threw for 3035 yards, 20 touchdowns and 6 interceptions last season in his first year as a starter. He'll get every opportunity to earn that long-term deal in 2016.
