Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

Don't expect #Bills safety Jairus Byrd to show up at voluntary conditioning workouts Tuesday, absent a long-term deal. Hasn't signed tag yet

Yup. We are drafting a S at 8.

His agent is Eugene Parker. Doesn't have the best history with the bills

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

Well, the free agency period certainly was a ringing success for Buffalo.

Andy Levitre abandons ship after the Bills officially deem the offensive line unimportant.

Jairus Byrd doesn't want to be here.

We replace a mediocre QB with an injury prone mediocre QB.

What's next on our busy agenda?

Will we set the NFL record for useless defensive backs taken in the first round?

ARE YOU TOTALLY PUMPED FOR 2013 OR WHAT???

F you Bills. I'm so sick of rooting for a bunch of morons incompetent of running a business.

Let me save Hurkey the effort: "Shut up. You're not a real fan. Loser."

Fantastic... Don't attempt to keep the players you draft, so what's the point?

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

I've heard that Byrd is pissed he got tagged and was not allowed to hit the market and try to get a great deal like Dashon Goldson. He wants to be traded or wants a Goldson-like contract

I don't know if his agent is the one advising him to do this or what. What I do know is that, this is not good for the Bills.

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

Oh no! An NFL player is in a contract dispute! The Bills are so incompetent because this is the first time such a thing has ever happened!

[Skooby]

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

Boo-hoo, if he wants lots of money than get the INT's he had as a rookie.

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

I'll worry about it when mandatory work starts.

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

He's no Ed Reed.
He can easily be replaced.
If someone wants to give up a 1st rounder for him, do it.

Re: Byrd not reporting to voluntary workouts

You know, this kind of thing happens to every team. But unlike EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE NFL, we have missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years. We have comparatively little talent, and we lost a very good player when we let Levitre go. We have massive holes to fill, with only 6 draft picks to do it. We have been relatively quiet in free agency.

So considering our unique circumstances as one of the worst franchises in professional sports, it's a little odd - when we hear that perhaps our best player may be on his way out - for anyone to consider this "no big deal." It is a big deal, because it is indicative of why we will spend another year watching other teams in the playoffs, and making excuses for what has become a joke of a front office.

Right. He has 18 picks, 27 passes defensed and 10 forced fumbles in his 4 years in the NFL. I'd stack those numbers up against anyone.
