Rumor: Bills close to signing Byrd

[BillsWin]

Ive just been told that the Bills are close to signing 2nd rounder Jarius Byrd, but have made only minor progress with 1st round pick Aaron Maybin.

My lunch break is over, so I have to get back to work. I will try to update if I hear anything.

I wonder how true this is! From John Murphy's blog.

When (or if) rookie Safety Jairus Byrd signs his contract and reports to camp, I’ll be interested to check on his physical condition. The second round pick from Oregon may miss some time. I’m hearing rumblings that he suffered some sort of a sports hernia in the last few weeks that may set him back for awhile. Byrd was considered a possible starter at the FS spot. Once he signs, we’ll see if he’s ready to go.

Looks like the rumors are true:
