The Facts: Taylor has a lot on his plate entering the 2016 season. Not only is Taylor an important piece to Buffalo's success, but he's also playing in the final year of his contract. However, Taylor is keeping his focus on the field with training camp set to begin later this month. "The contract situation will play out. My mindset is to go out there and win games," Taylor said. "Do whatever it takes to win games, lead the guys, be the leader on the field, off the field and a commander. But I'm not necessarily focused on the contract. I can't control that."
Diehards Line:
Taylor has a base salary of $3.1 million this season, which is a bargain for a starting quarterback. By comparison, quarterbacks such as Case Keenum ($3.6 million), Mark Sanchez ($4.5 million), Sam Bradford ($7 million) and Colin Kaepernick ($11.9 million) all have higher salaries without the type of production Taylor had last season. Taylor threw for 3,035 yards, 20 touchdowns and had a 99.4 passer rating in his first year as a starter. Taylor went 8-6 as a starter last season and believes his 2016 Bills have the potential to be even better. If they are, it could lead to a sizable payday in 2017.
