As free agency approaches in the NFL off-season Tyrod Taylor<\/a><\/strong> faces an uncertain future.\u00a0 A recent report from CBS Sports says the Buffalo Bills have expressed interest in obtaining Tony Romo<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 It looks more and more like the Bills are looking to part ways with Taylor.\u00a0 Buffalo retaining Taylor means a 15.9 million dollar cap hit for the 2017 season.\u00a0 Taylor himself seems to be taking the situation in stride saying, \u201cMy focus is not on the contract situation or what’s gonna happen. It’s more just being healthy.\u00a0 The thing that keeps my mind off of it is rehabbing [from January groin surgery].\u00a0 If I didn’t have to rehab, I’d probably be thinking about [the contract situation] all the time.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 Though Taylor mat not end up staying in Buffalo there are a few teams that present a desirable situation for him to land.<\/p>\n

Possible Landing Spots for Tyrod Taylor<\/h1>\n

Denver Broncos<\/h3>\n

The Denver Broncos currently have three quarterbacks on their roster.\u00a0 However, none of them have proven themselves to any better than Tyrod Taylor.\u00a0 Trevor Siemian<\/a><\/strong> is a manageable quarterback with a decent arm but does not possess the mobility that Taylor does.\u00a0 As a veteran player Taylor would be a great mentor for a young Paxton Lynch<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 He will be able to show him how to be disciplined on and off the field.\u00a0 Mark Sanchez<\/a><\/strong> is just on the team to hold a clip board, and he will not even be on the roster come training camp.\u00a0 With the strength of the Denver defense Taylor can play a perfect compliment to a staggering Broncos offense.\u00a0 He has the arm and deep-ball accuracy to create a big play threat.\u00a0 Also, his ability to extend plays will allow more opportunities for Emmanuel Sanders<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Regardless of whom Denver plays at quarterback, next season they will need to improve up front first.<\/p>\n

Washington Redskins<\/h3>\n

Kirk Cousins<\/a><\/strong> is due to make around 23 million next season on the open market.\u00a0 Last season, cousins earned 19,953,000 million with the Washington Redskins on a one year deal that didn\u2019t quite make sense.\u00a0 New San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch<\/a><\/strong> said \u201cYou\u2019ve got to take your head off the figure, off the number. I think that scares people. That\u2019s the going rate, folks. You may not like it, but it\u2019s the going rate for good quarterbacks. This guy is a really<\/em> good quarterback. He\u2019s earned the right, in my mind, to be the Redskins\u2019 quarterback moving forward.\u201d\u00a0 That being said, if the Redskins do not decide to pay Cousins he will find that money somewhere else.\u00a0 Though Tyrod Taylor does no possess the accuracy of Cousins, he could be an ideal replacement for Washington.\u00a0 Constant deep threat DeSean Jackson<\/a><\/strong> will cohere to one of Taylor strengths.\u00a0 This will in turn help open up running lanes for Robert Kelley<\/a><\/strong> and the rest of the Redskins backfield.<\/p>\n

New York Jets<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The New York Jets may be the surprise team in this situation.\u00a0 Ryan Fitzpatrick<\/a><\/strong> and the organizations relationship has broken down.\u00a0 Christian Hackenberg<\/strong> appears in no way ready to take over the starting role.\u00a0 This is the dark horse no one is considering with Taylor.\u00a0 With weapons such as Eric Decker<\/a><\/strong> and Brandon Marshall<\/a><\/strong> to throw too and Matt Forte<\/a><\/strong> in the backfield Taylor can be a nice compliment to that offense.\u00a0 The only downfall to this scenario is the Jets salary cap situation.\u00a0 With only around 7.4 million available in cap space the Jets would have to make some moves to free up money for Taylor.\u00a0 However, this is not out of the question. The Jets do have some options to free space during free agency.<\/p>\n
