The Bills stripped Tyrod Taylor of his starting job this week, but Buffalo reportedly believes the quarterback still has value it could exploit.

Taylor is due a $6-million roster bonus on the third day of the 2018 league year and it was assumed the Bills would decline it, making him a free agent. However, Buffalo believes Taylor has trade value and could explore his market before making a decision on his option, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The veteran pivot's $10-million base salary in 2018 is far below market value, so it's possible teams would be interested in trading for him, as they would not only get him on a bargain deal but also eliminate the risk of losing out on him in free agency.

Rookie Nathan Peterman will start in Week 11 in place of Taylor.
