    what teams would even want byrd

    since so many of us are talking about trading him before the deadline, what are the teams that really would want him?

    I don't really know. I suspect its a short list. Anyone want to offer their guesses of teams that would be willing to trade for him mid season?

    I thought they could not trade due to the tag restrictions?

      he can't be signed to a an extension, so his value is low. A team would need to take the cahnce on him not resigning. trading Byrd during the season does not make sense. If he's playing games and milking his injury we should shut him down for the season to prove a point. We can't set the precedent of allowing a player to control the situation

        Right now?

        No one.

        If he's traded, he's still under the tag provision and no one else can sign him to an extension til the offseason.

        The NFL doesn't deal in rent-a-players like the NHL.

          Tennessee seems to like overpaying for our guys.

            I bet 49ers would love to replace Whitner!

              If he leaves Buffalo I bet he signs in New England.

                Atlanta might, though I'm not sure what their current cap situation might be.

                    He'd start for most teams, so I'm sure there are lots that would want him. The problem is how much do they want him and what are they willing to give up, without the ability resign him it's doubtful they'd give up much to get him. However waiting only makes it worse for the Bills, they aren't likely to tag him and if they do, they're faced with Byrd having all the negotiating power in any trade scenario.

                        Byrd being traded is message board chatter for bitter fans. There is no value in trading him. There is no way that the Bills come out on the better end of a trade, unless they consider a moral victory for "showing" Byrd.

                          Not with his contract demands.

                            His contract demands wouldn't be as high if he played for a perpetual winner in a huge market.

                            Other teams have different things to offer. Winning championships, National exposure, etc...

                            Right now, all Buffalo has to offer is money.

                            That's why they have to offer more money than other teams.

                              Because teams cannot negotiate with him his value cannot be high.

                              My guess is his value is better to franchise again, let him work out a deal elsewhere and trade him then if we trade him before the deadline.
