he knows he will be tagged
should take the better deal and we better pay him
MUCK
FIAMI
My first thought was, "why would he want to re-sign here when he has a chance to go somewhere else to win?"
My second thought was "why WOULDN'T he want to re-sign here? He'll make millions, they'll be out of the playoffs by mid-November every year and then he can mail it in for 7-8 games like the rest of this POS team does."
This is one area Nix doesnt mess around with. Keep your good players.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Irrespective of anything else, this is good news. Byrd is becoming an exceptional safety, and is comfortably the best player we have in our secondary, and arguably the team. He's also one of the few genuine threats we have, to get a turnover, and seems to be involved in most of them, one way or another.

He'd be nuts to re-up now, the open market will produce a great amount of leverage which would translate to bigger money. Besides, if SF or NE came calling would you want to go back to Siberia?
TBH, I don't expect him to have any choice in the matter next year, as even if they don't do a deal with him, he will get the franchise tag. So for Byrd this year, the 'open market' simply doesn't exist.

He sounds physced.“Sure yeah if everything works out. I have no problems with Buffalo, but I know that around this time it’s about business, so I understand that too,” he said. “I love the fans here. We just have to win. That’s the biggest thing, just winning and I want to be somewhere where I’m wanted too. I want people to want me here and if that’s the case I have no problems with Buffalo and coach Gailey. Everybody here is great.”
Pay the man. That's all.
Bye Bye Brady...
Sign him, also sign our OL, and while we're at it get Mario to take a paycut and get Fitzpatrick a one way ticket out of town on the Megabus
I know I am biased but the Bills are not as bad as their 4-7 record. I truly think with a good head coach, QB and linebacker or two the Bills could be a very solid team. Bad coaching and QB are the downfall of the team. Man for man I do not think the 49ers are that much better than Buffalo. Difference is coaching and a QB that will not throw the critical INT.

Not even that much from being good, just a qb who can make good decisions and deliver the ball. A good qb and we beat New England at New England, beat Tennessee, beat Houston, and beat Indy. That's right, if we even had a competent qb we would be 8-3 this year.

Their D is LEAGUES ahead of ours. Give us a QB and the offenses are comparable.

Finally we get some good news.
" The best defense is a good offense " there's truth to that quote, maybe if the offense could sustain some drives or build a lead, the results on defense and the game would be different (IMO). I'm not saying it would be the 49er's defense, but there'd be a difference. In the last 4 losses, the defense had done well enough for the Bills to win, but the common denominator in all 4 losses is a turnover late in the game by Fitzpatrick. Out of those games, only in the Houston loss was the team down by more than 1 score when the turnover occurred, although in the 2nd half, the defense held, but the offense could do nothing all game, having 3 failed attempts in the red zone and going 2 for 17 on 3rd down conversions. Any defense is going to suffer with an incompetent offense, there's not of low scoring games in the NFL.
That doesn't sound psyched to me...that sounds 'show me the money, and I'm OK sticking around. Don't, and I'm out of here.'
Regardless, hopefully they can keep Byrd in Buffalo, but I wouldn't expect anything to get done until well into the off-season.
