All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Rumor: Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed
Re: Rumor: Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed
Whaley - "JB, before we get started negotiating here, you need to understand that we intend to tag you if we don't come to a long term solution"
Byrd - "Duh!!"
Rumor? Hasn't everyone on this board said the same thing since forever?
Of course the Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed.
Yes rumor. This is the first comment from a source that I've seen.
Yes, it seems like an obvious move. But the Bills will be committing 8+ mill to him if they do it. They can't bank on trading him so they have to be willing to pay him the 8+ next year.

Exactly... So we're willing to pay him 8+ mill next year but not long term? Only reason Byrd doesn't take 8+ mill per with us is if he doesn't want to be a Bill.
I feel like ive never heard of a guy getting franchised two years in a row before
Pretty sure it happens. Didn't the Chiefs do it to Dwayne Bowe?

Of course, but this is good news regardless. If he stays we basically get him playing in a contract year again, which is always a plus.
Yeah, that really worked well this year with him bailing on training camp, missing the first five games with his tender feet, and bailing again against New England to end the season. Lemme look real quick and see how many rookie QB's we face this season...that will be the number of picks he gets.
Won't be long and the 'Byrd's agent Parker has been given permission to talk to other teams about a trade/contract' reports start getting booted about.

I'm fine with moving him.
The only hesitation I'd have is opening a hole and needing to fill it. I want to use our picks and cash on upgrading not replacing. But it's just one guy.
Re: Rumor: Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed
Geez, here we go again, sign and trade agreement or you just blew multiple games on gimpy feet and bad will and need get a safety anyway because the guy doesn't want to be here.
You get a crap pick and a scrub for a 6 games of haha-goodbye, nothing for you jerks. But you get a crap pick and a scrub instead of 6 games of wow, and we didn't make the playoffs again.

Rapoport is not a source. And if the Bills do tag him but can't trade him & they do not want to pay the 8+, they could always remove the tag.
Re: Rumor: Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed
You know, I hate to bring this up again but I will because it annoys me. Ballhawk wondersafetyman Byrd's stats from last year compare to journeyman get-him-outta-here Jim Leonhard.
