The Buffalo Bills took the biggest headline on Tuesday, as they relieved head coach Rex Ryan of his duties. In addition, the team let go Ryan’s brother Rob, who was the team’s defensive coordinator. Rex’s tenure in Buffalo never reach the heights he said they would when he took over the team, and now the organization must look for a replacement for him, and possibly their quarterback.

Buffalo made an investment in Tyrod Taylor before the season began, adding six million dollars to his contract for 2016. They also added a ton of money after this season, which they will have to pay out if they pick up the option once the season comes to a close. Taylor likely will be playing somewhere else in 2017, and with his skill set, he is going to get a ton of money.

Whoever is the team’s quarterback in 2017, whether Taylor, E.J. Manuel, or someone outside of the organization, the team needs to upgrade their offensive line. Wisconsin’s Ryan Ramczyk is an incredible talent at the tackle position, and he would instantly move in as a starter at left tackle. The Bills have some great young players on their offense, including running back LeSean McCoy, who needs better blockers up front if he is going to stay healthy.
