Should have paid him. We don't need a disgruntled player. Worries me whether we can repair it now.

Is it business or personal Byrd? Which reason did you hold out for?

Re: Seems like some animosity from Byrd

On a #31 team defense, it's hard to justify #1 player money.

Welker signed his tag, played for a year. Byrd should shut up and do the same.

Well he appears ready to play for a year. He's got that part.

"Disappointed by Jairus Byrd's return presser. This whole thing seems to have changed him. That's a bitter kid who doesn't want to be here."

If he wants out, trade him. This is a team trying to rebuild and head in a positive direction.

I would not object to trading him for equal value, but I don't want to see him shipped off for a 4th rnd pick like Lynch was. I'm still mad about that.

I would think a pro-bowl S is worth a good deal more.

Golly geez guys, a 3-13 season will make him want to stay in Buffalo long term.

Where's the animosity? Speaking the truth. I don't see any hostility.

Pay the ****ing man.

Who do you blame for that?

Re: Seems like some animosity from Byrd

he coulda got rich as the third highest paid safety in the league, not have to worry about getting injured, and come back in a couple seasons to ask for more if he really was the best

its his own dumb fault he didnt take the wiser approach

Re: Seems like some animosity from Byrd

Animosity- an antagonistic attitude.

"they feel one way, we feel another"

I will admit that it isn't "trade me".

Re: Seems like some animosity from Byrd

Amazing what a difference 48 hours makes. I was really positive about this season. Wasn't expecting playoffs or anything, but thought we would see a new culture and a team that was going to be one of those scrappy squads no one wants to play.

Now, everything looks abysmal. With Manuel, Kolb, and Gilmore out, I can't see any scenario where we come within 20 points of New England.
