After watching the draft conference, It seemed to me that Russ and Nix had to say the usual," we want him here, there's been dialogue" blah blah blah. If Byrd doesn't want to be here and wants Dashon Goldson type money, trade him. Yeah he can hold out and report whenever he wants but then at the end of the year, he can walk and the Bills get nothing for him....btw I guess his agent Eugene Parker is a *****.
I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
He can't walk at the end of the year. He can be franchised again. He may nor want to play in buffalo any longer. You can't blame him for that. He hasn't made the playoffs and his father played in San Diego and he played his college ball at Oregon. He may prefer the west coast. Bottom line is if he wants to be paid well to play ball this year in the NFL its going to be in buffalo because they have no intention of trading him and every intention of paying him the 6million + salary this season.

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
I don't see what is wrong with him wanting Goldson type money. If I was the Bills, I think Byrd is worth just as much as as Goldson, if not more!
Goldson was on a Defense full of superstars, while Byrd was a great player on one of the worst Defenses in the league in a poorly-coached scheme. I understand if the Bills let Levitre walk and didn't want to invest $8 million per year in a Guard, but Byrd is a young star and the money saved from Levitre should be given to him.
To me, trading him is stupid. Just sign him. If the Bills wait until next season to sign him, he will cost even more.

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
It seems every time we get in to these situations like re-signing players
like Byrd we seem to lose them. Maybe they just don't want to be here and
would prefer to play anyother place even for less cash. Its not all about money.
Offer him real good money and if he rejects then re-franchise him and have a disgruntled
player on your hands or find a replacement.

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
Biggest issue with Byrd, is his agent, who is just after the $.
I don't think Byrd wants to leave necessarily, but he does want to get paid. He deserves to be, as well, but what he deserves, and what Parker will ask for, are probably far apart.
I also believe that Byrd really wants to play football, so while he might hold out some, I don't think it will be to the extent that he misses so much to not be ready for the season.

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
im sure the bills are/will offer him fair market value but the team has all the leverage here so why rush it. players loathe playing under the tag bc it risks future money in the case they get seriously hurt. byrd will sign, its just a matter of whenOne set of rules for all in the beloved community

Re: I feel like Byrd doesn't want to be a Bill
If he doesn't want to be here, he's a smart guy.
If I was an NFL player with career advancement in mind, step #1 would be to ditch Buffalo and never look back. And I love Buffalo.
Still, there's no indication Byrd wants out based solely on his absence in April. That's how these guys gain a foothold in contract talks. I'll worry if September rolls around and he's still at home playing Madden.Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.
