AP is reporting this:
The three-time Pro Bowl selection cut short his visit with the Bills in Buffalo on Friday after the team's interest cooled upon learning Stroud was seeking a significant raise, a person familiar with the player's visit told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because of the sensitive nature of the player's visit, which was not confirmed by the Bills.
Stroud, scheduled to make $16.5 million over the three years remaining on his contract, is seeking to restructure his contract after the New York Jets acquired defensive tackle Kris Jenkins in a trade with Carolina earlier in the day. The Jets then came to terms with Jenkins, also a three-time Pro Bowl selection, on a new five-year contract worth $35 million, including $20 million in guaranteed money.
"I think negotiations are going to break down," the person said.
