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!

So, after the Bills D gets 5 picks off of the Super Bowl MVP and are playing in a Thursday Night Primetime game, all of a sudden, Jairus' tootsies are ok, huh?
Piss on him. Put him on IR and tag him next season... Wouldn't want him to get hurt again or anything.
He missed 4 games. You guys act like he **** in the punch bowl at your wedding.
Bet he didn't miss cashing those 4 game checks, though... 4 games is 25% of the season...
Freddie, Spiller and Aaron Williams all were injured during last Sunday's game... All three continued to play... Many others are very likely not at 100% either, but have been out there since the first game and continue to go out. But, Jairus can't play, unless he's 100%, which coincidentally, seems to come when the Bills have a prime time game.

I told my buddy to not be surprised if he plays Thursday after the last game. Primetime and all...
He joked back that he'll get 2 picks and a fumble recovery, then shut it down to cash in next year.
If we used our future-sight on this and not lotto numbers, I'll be pissed.
If Byrd comes back, cool...the Bills are a better team with him on the field.
Everything else is speculation that doesn't really matter. All that matters now is how he plays on Thursday Night Football.
He wants to showcase his talents on national television for big money next year. I hope the kid has the best game of his career so far and wish him luck.
Welcome back, JB! I wonder if this will move the point spread?
If you put him on IR and then he gets cleared to play, he can ask to be released from his contract. If you remember Troy Vincent did did this after the Bills prematurely IR'd him.
Thank you for gracing us with your presence jairus...your asking price just went up to $12 million a year.
Maybe he just got tired of watching other players limp off the field..and then back on. And it finally got to him? nah.
The decision was made by his agent.
"Uh, Jairus, did you see the last game? You better get your ass back out there, before it looks like you aren't needed at all. With every interception, you're looking less and less indispensible. "

If the NFL is a business as they say, you are absolutely right in your assessment.
Byrd was losing market value every time the Bills defense made a pick. They're doing too good without him.
If you put him on IR and then he gets cleared to play, he can ask to be released from his contract. If you remember Troy Vincent did did this after the Bills prematurely IR'd him.
Since when has he not been cleared to play? He passed the team physical and, shortly afterward, was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis... The same plantar fasciitis that Byrd himself said he played with last season.
To the best of my knowledge, no doctor has said "Byrd can't play." All's I've heard is Byrd say "I need to be 100%" He's been cleared to play all along... Byrd has decided that he isn't going to play.
As far as asking to be released from his contract, sure, he can ask. The Bills can also say no.
Anyone who knows me and has read my posts knows that I don't defend the Bills too often... But, in this case:
Byrd was the one that decided to not sign his Franchise tag Tender until August 20th.
Byrd has been the one to decide that his plantar fasciitis has been too bad to play on.
Byrd has nobody to blame for the situation that he's in except himself (well, maybe his agent, too).
So, piss on him. If he is too hurt to play, put his ass on IR and free up the roster spot for someone who wants to play.
