I don't know Byrd can play CB or RB, that's where Bills need the most right now.

I am sure getting Byrd back and putting Williams at CB would be ideal at this point with all the injuries. Leonard and Searcy arent exactly all-stars.

Hmmm. I guess you didn't see how many plays both Leonherd and Searcy made last Sunday.

they aren't but they are playing well enough that I'm not missing Byrd.

They need to dump him to a team that stinks, and I would even take a 3rd for him, as long as they think it is a high draft pick.

That article provided no value whatsoever.

The only thing I took out of it: Parker is Carrington's agent too and they turned down contract offers from Buffalo this off-season.

So, now Parker has two injured clients with no guarantee of getting paid after this season ends, no doubt lowering their value. Why do guys still work with this asshat? At least he got Peters paid- now he's ****ing the team and not getting his clients their payday.

Sources say that that article may or may not have been completely worthless.

I went from hoping Byrd would sign an extension so i could buy his jersey, to disappointed he didnt really negotiate much with the Bills, to hating his guts and not ever wanting to see him touch the field again. The way he has handled this (and/or the way his agent has) is actually sickening to me, whether he deserves the money or not. If you're not happy with the offer you've been given, go out and show that you deserve more instead of sulking and basically refusing to play. Imagine if he went out and had 8 INTs this year, how that would help his stock come FA time in the offseason, as opposed to teams seeing him sit out and be greedy. I think hes honestly hurting himself in terms of potential contract offers.

Parker thinks he has leverage because the Bills have been poor and are so desperate to keep their good players that they'll overpay. Since Whalley comes from the Pittsburgh organization I would say he's sadly mistaken.

I also saw them struggle the week before. Although i want Byrd traded at this point i dont see the negative in having a Pro-Bowl safety playing for you.

Not if he doesn't really want to play for us. I'd rather have less than ultra talented players who give 110% on the field than a superstar malcontent. And I wouldn't call Byrd a superstar, either his agent convinced him he is or he had a big head in the first place.

"Strong" offers as well. He's just another player Bills fans overrate and, if he and Parker want to play hardball, he can simply leave. He has as many blocked field goals as career sacks, I'll bet.

He definitely seems to prefer brinkmanship and conflict in his negotiations. As to why they still use him? He's pretty good at and gets his clients a lot of money.

So was Leigh Steinberg. I think somebody clipped his ass.
