"I can't speak for the owner. I can't speak for the GM.
They'll have to speak for themselves," Lynn said on Wednesday of
the "business decision" to sit Taylor rather than risk injury
that would trigger a $30 million guarantee for 2017.
Taylor, signed to a long-term contract extension before the
start of the 2016 season, joined the Bills following four
seasons as a Ravens back-up after a strong endorsement from
then-head coach Rex Ryan.
Owner Terry Pegula and general manager Doug Whaley have not
offered comments beyond a statement when Ryan was fired earlier
this week.
Whaley is scheduled to meet with media on Monday, the day after
the season ends with the Bills out of the postseason for the
17th consecutive season.
Lynn was offensive coordinator from Week 3 until being promoted
to interim coach on Tuesday. He expects to be interviewed for
the position when the Bills formally interview candidates to
replace Ryan as head coach.
