Tyrod Taylor appears to be tired of playing games with the Buffalo Bills regarding his contract situation.

After renegotiating his contract last March and accepting a $10-million pay cut over the 2017 and 2018 seasons, the seven-year pro recently told Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News he wants to remain with the Bills but isn't willing to take another pay cut.

Taylor was scheduled to make $40.5 million combined over 2017 and 2018, but made $30.5 million instead to remain on the team, according to ESPN's Mike Rodak. He'll have a cap hit of more than $18 million in 2018 and would cost the Bills $8.64 million against the cap if they elect to release him before March 16.

The 28-year-old helped the team to its first playoff appearance since 1999 in 2017 despite being benched midseason for rookie Nathan Peterman. He threw for 2,799 yards with 14 touchdowns and four interceptions in 15 games in his third season as the Bills' starter.
