The Bills seemingly could rework some, if not most, of the top 10 contracts on the team.

Could they consider parting ways with anyone else besides Taylor?

Absolutely. For instance, McCoy might very well fall under the category of a player that could be worth the risk of releasing a year too early in order to avoid the potential of doing so a year too late.

Both Williamses on defense would figure to be the most vulnerable to being cut. Kyle Williams is on record as saying he is willing to be part of yet another rebuild, but new coach Sean McDermott and his defensive staff will undoubtedly be looking for signs of decline through the offseason and preseason.

On Wednesday, NFL teams can begin applying franchise and transition tags to pending free agents. If the Bills decide to do so with cornerback Stephon Gilmore, the price would be about $14.3 million. If they were to do so with their only other high-profile player headed for free agency, wide receiver Robert Woods, the cost would be roughly $15.8 million, something the Bills would never consider for a No. 2 receiver.

Long-term deals with both players are possible, but the Bills aren't expected to be highly aggressive and are more likely to try to find help at both positions in the draft.
