The Buffalo Bills are turning their offense over to Tyrod Taylor, who has won the starting job after a three-way quarterback competition during the offseason. Coach Rex Ryan announced his decision following practice on Monday. Taylor won the job over former Bills starter and 2013 first-round draft pick EJ Manuel, and Matt Cassel, a 10-year journeyman who was acquired in an offseason trade with Minnesota.
The decision comes two days after all three quarterbacks played with the starting offense in a 43-19 preseason win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Following the game, Ryan announced he intended to spend Sunday meeting with his staff, front office personnel and owners Terry and Kim Pegula to determine his starter.
Taylor signed a three-year contact with Buffalo in free agency this offseason after spending his first four years as Joe Flacco's backup in Baltimore.
