Yup. We are drafting a S at 8.
His agent is Eugene Parker. Doesn't have the best history with the bills

Well, the free agency period certainly was a ringing success for Buffalo.
Andy Levitre abandons ship after the Bills officially deem the offensive line unimportant.
Jairus Byrd doesn't want to be here.
We replace a mediocre QB with an injury prone mediocre QB.
What's next on our busy agenda?
Will we set the NFL record for useless defensive backs taken in the first round?
ARE YOU TOTALLY PUMPED FOR 2013 OR WHAT???

Fantastic... Don't attempt to keep the players you draft, so what's the point?
Bye Bye Brady...
I've heard that Byrd is pissed he got tagged and was not allowed to hit the market and try to get a great deal like Dashon Goldson. He wants to be traded or wants a Goldson-like contract
I don't know if his agent is the one advising him to do this or what. What I do know is that, this is not good for the Bills.

Oh no! An NFL player is in a contract dispute! The Bills are so incompetent because this is the first time such a thing has ever happened!

Boo-hoo, if he wants lots of money than get the INT's he had as a rookie.

I'll worry about it when mandatory work starts.
He's no Ed Reed.
He can easily be replaced.
If someone wants to give up a 1st rounder for him, do it.

You know, this kind of thing happens to every team. But unlike EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE NFL, we have missed the playoffs for 13 consecutive years. We have comparatively little talent, and we lost a very good player when we let Levitre go. We have massive holes to fill, with only 6 draft picks to do it. We have been relatively quiet in free agency.
So considering our unique circumstances as one of the worst franchises in professional sports, it's a little odd - when we hear that perhaps our best player may be on his way out - for anyone to consider this "no big deal." It is a big deal, because it is indicative of why we will spend another year watching other teams in the playoffs, and making excuses for what has become a joke of a front office.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Right. He has 18 picks, 27 passes defensed and 10 forced fumbles in his 4 years in the NFL. I'd stack those numbers up against anyone.

I think it's a mistake to not keep your own players, especially the stars who actually contribute. Letting Levetri go, I understand. You don't pay that much for an interior lineman. But Byrd needs to be paid. Hopefully the Bills are just playing hardball or something knowing that they will eventually give him what he wants but regardless, we need to keep our own stars.

Is it foolish to think that he can eat into a little of what Kelsay left behind?
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.
Waaaaaah. I hear San Francisco will be pretty good this year.
i think it's partially part of the game the two sides have to play. it sends a little panic to the bills.
but unfortunately, i don't think the bills can even play these games well. they get all sore and walk. they become insistent that they know better and they have the team to find the replacement.
what is truly amazing is byrd's stats with almost no pass rush in his time here. if he had played on a team where the opposing qb was under duress, imagine his INTs.
how is this the bills' fault? Byrd is still part of the team.
