Bills shopping Byrd.

[TacklingDummy]

Have we already seen Byrds last game as a Bill?

Did Marrone sit him against Cleveland to send a message?

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

I believe he did

Per Shefter;

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 6m
Bills know wisest course of action is to trade franchise S Jairus Byrd and they now are open to dealing him, per sources. Talks ongoing.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

terrible news.

pay the man. pay him 2 million more a year than the next suitor.

it's the nfl--no contracts are guaranteed.

if he doesn't live up to it, trade him then. if he does, then we have one of the best players in the league at the position.

poz is a league leader in tackles in jax, lynch is a league leading rusher in seattle, whitner is doing well in san fran, levitre is doing well in ten and now manning the line for their capable stop-gap vet backup qb.

sucks that we could have poz next to kiko, whitner next to byrd, levitre on our line holding it down for fitz til ej is healthy--sounds like a playoff team to me.

They can't "pay the man" this year. He has to play under the tag this year. The relationship between Byrd and the Bills can't be repaired at this point. They need to trade him and at least get something for him.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

I say you always want your stars, unless they don't want to play 100% hard for you. We were wise to trade peters, and we will be wise to trade Byrd if he's punking out. I love his ability, but no room on the roster for a quitter.

they can't pay him this year, but they can pay him this offseason.

and they should. they should pay him more than any other team is willing to, to keep him here.

you don't let good players leave, that's rule #1 to making the playoffs.

He doesn't want to be in Buffalo. Period.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

Good riddance, he played hurt to make a point when we needed him. That's the definition of not a team player, who collected almost $7 Million for sitting. We'll get a 3rd round pick from a good team, that'll be a best case scenario.

[YardRat]

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

Yes.

I hope so.

Screw Byrd, he doesn't want to be here, get rid of him.

First off I agree with the pay the man comment.. but thats all I can agree with you on.

Poz has always been a leader in tackles but its never for stops at the line or for loss. Most of his tackles are 10 or more yards down the field. Kiko will be better IMO. If we kept Poz we dont draft Kiko...... If we kept the ******* Whitner we dont draft Byrd. And Levitre I agree we should have kept. Dont want to comment on Fitz LOL

95% agree.
Except you are forgetting about the most important position on every team.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

It will be interesting to see what they get for him. If they keep him he at least plays the rest of the year and the Bills probably get a 3rd in 2015 as a compensatory pick. They need something of value back for the guy, but his not being able to sign long-term has a negative influence on his value.

Any team trading for Byrd will need to absorb the roughly $4.87M he has left to be paid this year. Only 13 NFL teams have enough cap room to absorb that, although more could restructure to make room if needed. It would have been better to try and deal him in the off-season, his market isn't too strong right now. I guess it only takes one team.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

If he tanks the season or even most of it with his pussy foot he gets to pick his next team. He's probably banking on the Bills not franchising him again.

Trading him let's us get what we want for him and let's us choose his next team. Screw him.

Re: Bills shopping Byrd.

Send him to the Jags for their 2nd round pick.
33rd overall. 9 picks higher than what Byrd was.
