4 Potential Landing Spots for Tyrod Taylor
By Jon Dove
The Buffalo Bills decision to fire Rex Ryan is the headliner, but benching Tyrod Taylor is an equally important storyline.
Tyrod Taylor has been benched by the Buffalo Bills which puts his future with the team in major doubt. There was some talk before this decision that the Bills wouldn’t pick up Taylor’s contract option and allow him to hit free agency. It seems like Taylor hitting the open market is a certainty at this point.
There will be plenty of teams looking to bring Taylor into the mix if he’s available via free agency. That list includes teams like the New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers.
It’s possible that a few other teams get added to that list as the pieces of the offseason puzzle start to fall into place. Either way, Taylor should have the ability to weigh his options and find the best place for him to succeed.
Taylor’s availability is based on his struggles down the stretch. He has had issues with his accuracy and overall decision making. However, the talent around him in Buffalo isn’t the greatest especially at the wide receiver position.
Things may have been different if Sammy Watkins was able to stay healthy.
