After acquiring receiver Jarvis Landry from the Miami Dophins on Friday, the Cleveland Browns continued to add to their offence by acquiring Tyrod Taylor from the Buffalo Bills in exchange for the 6th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, according to ESPNβs Adam Schefter.
Taylor lead the Bills to a 9-7 record and their first playoff appearance in 18 seasons. The Bills cut ties the 28-year-old, positioning themselves to fill the hole at quarter back with one of their two first round draft picks (21st and 22nd overall). Last year, Taylor ran 84 times for 427 yards and four touchdowns, while completing 263-420 passes for 2,799 yards with14 touchdowns and four interceptions. Taylor was due a $6 million roster bonus at the beginning of the season, which the Browns will now be on the hook for.
Here's some of the best reaction from the internet.
The trade will be made official on Wednesday. So, football fans, is Tyrod Taylor the answer in Cleveland?
