Jairus Byrd "open-minded" to re-signing with Bills

[justasportsfan]

Yes. Another Byrd Thread,



“Of course, absolutely, open minded, absolutely. Definitely,” said Byrd. “I’m not going to close my mind on anything. I’m open to whatever might come. I’m leaving that to my agent and those guys. I’m out of it. I’m just going to play the best football I can for the team and try to win games and then that stuff will get handled eventually.”



“I’ve always said all along I want to be where I’m wanted and if it’s here then great,” Byrd said. “I am definitely excited just to win games. I’ve been here for four years so my heart is definitely here and wanting to win here and finish what you start.”

By open minded I think he means he'd open to getting paid no.1 or open to being paid more than no.1 ?

I'd be open minded to making $9 M a year as well.

"I’m leaving that to my agent and those guys. I’m out of it."

This to me says "whoever pays me the most money is going to win".

He's shown that he's worth the money, regardless of how big of a baby he was at the start of the season. The D has been totally different with him in there, nobody can argue with that.

Pay the man, we are on the cusp of a dominant defense. We won't get there creating holes.
The best cap flexibility is while your QB is in the rookie contract, get it done now.

Of course he wants to be paid. But hopefully he will accept a reasonable offer.

I do think he will want to stay in Buffalo if he gets paid.

A reasonable offer is #1 money.

I'd go to the highest bidder too.

An NFL career is a tenuous, finite thing. You gotta get paid while you can.

I guess. Im just bitter because of the way he handled the whole situation. He's going to get paid no matter what, so why be such a b**** about it and sit out?

Probably so, but there is a lot of leeway in that figure.

WGR has a poll should the Bills pay Byrd #1 money to keep him?

I voted yes along with about 70% of the people voting.
