Diehards Line:
The restructured contract ended speculation that Taylor wouldn't be with the team this coming season Taylor, 27, has started 29 games over two seasons in Buffalo. He is 14-14 as the team's starting quarterback; the Bills also won his debut in 2015 when Taylor played the first snap of the game at wide receiver. Since the start of the 2015 season, Taylor ranks 12th in passer rating (94.2), 20th in completion percentage (62.6), 12th in yards per pass attempt (7.42), and sixth in touchdown-to-interception ratio (3.08). He leads NFL quarterbacks in rushing yards (1,148) since 2015 but was sacked 78 times over that span, fifth most in the NFL. He'll get a chance to build on that in Buffalo going forward.
