Saints announced it, he is gone.

Not rumor. Being widely reported. Good, our money is free to use as we like.

I honestly dont care. Im glad the guys I want most are still out there and we're not waiting to hear from Byrd.

Not excited to blow a draft pick on another safety.

At least he is not in the AFC/AFC East.

Saints seem to have bigger needs, but good for them. Hopefully Buffalo adds some decent FA talent and has a good draft. They can overcome this.

Hopefully we don't.

Theoretically that means we wasted picks on Searcy, D Williams, and Meeks.

It was always free to use as we wish. Buffalo and Byrd knew he wasn't coming back. Our lack of moves in free agency on day one has nothing to do with waiting to see what Byrd wanted to do.

Good to see he looked around carefully to find his best deal. Clever young man testing his best career earnings potential as long as it isn't here.

Say goodbye to 2 or 3 more Saints. Maybe one of them will be someone we can use.

I normally wish the best to our FA's that leave. I don't feel the love this time, and I'm not even real fond of Byrd to miss him much.

Re: Saints sign Byrd to a 6 year deal

Vaccaro at SS and Byrd at FS will make a nice combination.

Best of luck to him.

Re: Saints sign Byrd to a 6 year deal

Man you know it would take a horrible ran franchise like the Saints who hasn't won anything recently, have a crappy team and a HC to sign a slow FS that really isn't any good. You know there aren't any good teams that would spend that money. The Bills obviously know more then the Saints.

At least we can move on now.

It's not like we were winning with him....

Yes we really can. I thought this thing could drag out for a week or more. It's not even 12 hours yet.

Our money can go elsewhere thankfully.
