Were trying to win these games. Thats my opinion, Ryan said Monday. I have the final say on whos out there or whatever. That doesnt mean I dont take input, but clearly thats my decision.Ryan said neither general manager Doug Whaley nor owner Terry Pegula has provided input on who should be the starting quarterback. He added that backup EJ Manuel will remain the teams No. 2 quarterback, and rookie Cardale Jones will stay as the No. 3 quarterback Sunday.As part of a contract extension signed in August, the Bills must guarantee Taylor about $30 million if he remains on the rosster by the fourth day of the 2017 league year, which begins in March.dddddddddddd Taylor is also guaranteed a $27.5 million base salary in 2017 if he suffers an injury that prevents him playing next season.The Bills (6-7) have yet to be eliminated from playoff contention, but they have only a 3 percent chance of making the postseason, according to FiveThirtyEight.com.
