I bet Tyrod Taylor feels like he just stole a fuck ton of money.... Because he did.

If they are dumb enough to pay him....that contract just seems too much for his body of work in the NFL.

It would have been robbery at 5 years 50M. The problem is some other team would have paid him more, QB desperation is strong in the NFL.

I can't see clear details in the nfl.com article but it appears only this year (~$9m) is fully guaranteed and the team has the option of not picking up the contract next year (worth $27m). Nothing is there on subsequent years. But it looks like it's a super "prove it" deal that might need him to prove it every year.
Found this at Buffalo News:
The Buffalo News confirmed a report by Ian Rapoport of NFL Media that, although the Bills agreed to add five years to the one season remaining on Taylor's original contract, they are able to exit the deal after the 2016 if they don't think they have the right man behind center. Otherwise, according to a source close to the negotiations, they would be on the hook for about $40 million in Taylor's first two seasons: $9.5 million this year (more than triple his original salary) and $30.5 million (including incentives) in 2017.

Huh? Chargers would end up paying him $15 million for 1 year instead of $25 million for 4 years.
I doubt you can franchise tag rookies, though. But if any team's dumb enough to try, outside of the Browns, it's the Chargers

Oh. Whatever I had read said something about $97 million for I think 5 years. Even if it's only half guaranteed, that'd be a retarded number for what he's done. They may as well pay me that much.
$9.5M for a single season isn't bad at all, especially if they can cut ties immediately.

Why? This going to hurt his chances of not being on the active game day roster?

Yea. Sucks he might miss time but they really don't intend to play him anytime soon so it's not a huge deal. Would have been nice for him to get all the preseason games in. He looked ok the other night. Made some good throws and some really bad ones. Our WRs need to step it the fuck up tho.
