    Rumor: Bills will tag Byrd if they can't get him signed

    Smart move IMO. Trade him if you want after tagging him but screw letting him walk for nothing.

      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.

        Wow Ian Rapoport is really going out on a limb with that prediction.

            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.

                  Pretty sure it happens. Didn't the Chiefs do it to Dwayne Bowe?

                    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.

                        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.

                        Get him out of here.

                          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.

                            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.

                            Get him out of here.

                              Retaining a return is our only goal, Byrd is a scorned player who will not return at any reasonable cost to Buffalo.
