Buffalo Bills
Here’s a true wild card in every sense of the term. Despite putting up two consecutive stellar seasons in Western New York, it looks like Tyrod Taylor will not be returning to the Bills. They are not prepared to pay him the huge bonus he’s set to receive next month. And for his part, Taylor doesn’t seem interested in taking a pay cut.
Tyrod Taylor won’t take less. Both sides open to reworking deal, cap numbers… https://t.co/gxsnwRet1Z

With EJ Manuel slated to become a free agent, this will leave 2016 mid-round pick Cardale Jones as the only quarterback on the Bills’ roster. And with the 10th pick in the upcoming draft, it’s unlikely Buffalo will be able to add one of the top-tier quarterbacks.
Sure Buffalo has displayed some interest in Tony Romo, but that doesn’t seem to be a realistic scenario. It’s also highly unlikely that the Patriots would trade Jimmy Garoppolo within the division. This limits what the Bills might be able to do after they dropped the ball on the entire Taylor situation.
As it stands, Buffalo might be an attractive destination for Cousins. It boasts a top-end running back in LeSean McCoy and one of the best young receivers in the game, Sammy Watkins. That would be an ideal scenario for Washington’s current starting quarterback.
