Bills say Tyrod Taylor is medically cleared

USBpXt0FptjV
The date is rapidly approaching for the Bills to make a decision regarding Tyrod Taylor and his medical clearance will be a major factor.

The Bills say quarterback Tyrod Taylor is healthy enough to play -- and potentially healthy enough to get cut.

A team source told Adam Schefter that Taylor has been medically cleared from his January groin surgery.

It’s significant that this is coming from a team source, rather than directly from Taylor. The Bills can cut Taylor by March 11 and not have to pay his $27.5 million guarantee, but only if he can pass a physical. If the Bills choose not to pick up Taylor’s guarantee, it’s still possible that Taylor could file a grievance and claim he isn’t yet healthy.

If the Bills cut Taylor, he becomes an unrestricted free agent. If he’s still on the team after March 11, that means the Bills are committed to him as their quarterback.
