The draft has a way of dominating the workload of a front office and leaving little time to pursue other business, which meant that the Bills haven’t been too focused on extending any contracts for current members of the team lately.

General Manager Doug Whaley said that is going to change now that the draft has come to a conclusion. Left tackle Cordy Glenn, cornerback Stephon Gilmore and quarterback Tyrod Taylor are all on the list and Whaley said the team is going to “regroup” this week to come up with a plan. Whaley says he’s “supremely confident” all three can fit under the 2017 cap and that the team isn’t prioritizing one over the others.

“They’re all the same,” Whaley said on WGR 550, via the team’s website. “We’re going to try to work as diligently as possible to get all three of those guys. This is where we want to get to. Have good players on our team and then keep them instead of going out into free agency. We’d like to use free agency for the value guys. So when you have potential stars that we’ve drafted or acquired and they’re on our roster now, why not throw the money at those guys?”

There’s a July 15 deadline to work out a multi-year deal with Glenn, who signed his franchise tender. There are no such issues involved with the other two players, although the last word on the Taylor front was that there was “some work to be done” on a deal for a player with one year of starting experience under his belt.
