Can we get a 1st rounder for Byrd after we tag him again ?

There's no other UFA on this team worth the franchise tag...I say why not and see what happens. Even if it's not a first round pick, a team might give up a mid 2nd for him.

The worst that could happen is that Byrd holds out into the regular season and the Bills FO looks silly. That wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Turn the Byrd pick into 1 of the 2 top TE prospects.

Trade Byrd to St.Louis for the number two pick. The can afford it.

I would think their own 1st rounder would be a possible scenario, not Washingtons. It also assures them a pro bowler & gives them a very high pick as well, which would be considered a job well done by most.

Here is an idea, how bout we pay him!! He deserves the money, and if we let him walk, that is a message to me that we aren't committed to winning.

The Bills can't & won't pay a half-season man #1 $ at any position, it's not & never going to be in the cards.

I don't think he's very good personally. I hope the Bills trade him and get a 1st round pick in 2014 for him.

Is Byrd good, sure. Is he worth 9 or 10 million a year, not on your life.

Flipping a 27 year old multiple all pro into a first is a job well done in Bills country.

this questionable probowl nod is only going to make him repeat his pay me the most ever spiel. i like byrd but if he wants to stay on this team he has to back off of that nonsense and accept the more than fair offer im sure the bills will make just like they did last time. with the emergence of small black williams and searcy they have two quality safties that can start so they can afford to lose byrd if they have to

if byrd is smart he will negotiate reasonably and im sure they could find a deal. if not, then the bills have to tag and trade him and move on

Re: Now that Byrd is a probowler again, can we get a 1st rounder for him ?

Not going to happen. His price tag is locked in and deservedly so. He wants to be paid like the top safety in the league and after another pro bowl season you can argue he is.

No doubt the bills will tag him again. Its their right to do so and they should. Once tagged they can field offers for him but probably will not find higher than a 2nd round pick for him because of the size of the contract and amount of GUARANTEED money that the contract will contain.

In my opinion the bills will either tag him and enjoy one more year with him possibly dealing him at the deadline if the playoffs are out of sight next year or trade him this off season. I just see now scenario in which the bills pay his price. Remember Aaron Williams and Jim Leonard have 4INTs this year too. The bills might be comfortable resigning Leonard on the cheap (he is a solid proven player in this system) and developing their young safeties over paying a safety upwards of 8mil per yr.

Why get rid of one of the best in the NFL?

They paid Mario top dollar, and what exactly is a half-season man?

I don't get the logic where people argue he isn't worth the investment of a big money contract, yet those same people want to slap a $8.3M franchise tag on him and expect another team to give up a first round pick to get him and pay him that contract. He must have pretty good value if you think a team will do that.
