The Buffalo Bills appear to be slowly dipping their toes into the waters of The Tyrod Taylor Experience.
According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports on Thursday, the Bills are discussing a “bridge deal” with Taylor in the range of two years, $ 30 million.
If the Bills are able to come to terms with QB Tyrod Taylor, the template they are discussing is a bridge deal in the range of 2yrs, $ 30M

The 27-year-old is currently due to make $ 2 million in base salary plus a $ 1 million incentive bonus in 2016 with a $ 1.2 million team option for 2017. But after a stellar first season as a starter for Buffalo that saw him throw for 3,035 yards and 20 touchdowns en route to a Pro Bowl selection, both sides seem interested in a more lucrative longer-term agreement. Taylor’s agent, for one, has made it clear he wants to get a deal done before the start of the season.
Taylor has a quality arm and dual-threat athleticism (he also rushed for 568 yards and four touchdowns last year) but could still stand to improve his pocket instincts and decision-making. A two-year, $ 30 million deal seems like a win-win good-faith deal for the Bills to ensure that Taylor’s 2015 campaign wasn’t a fluke and for Taylor to be paid his current market value AND be in line for a bigger paycheck down the road should his year-to-year progression with Buffalo continue to improve.
