PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- When is a five-year, $92 million extension not exactly what it seems? When it's Tyrod Taylor's new deal with the Buffalo Bills.
The Bills negotiated an extension with Taylor that gives the team unique flexibility, essentially allowing Buffalo to get out of the deal with minimal cap consequences after the upcoming season if Taylor doesn't play to the level of what he could earn in 2017 or beyond.
That essentially makes this is a one-year, $9.5 million contract with Taylor with an option to continue after the 2017 season.
