Crazy Jairus Byrd statistic

[Morninsir]

He's a flat out star. One of our best players out there on the field.

[Plutonian]

Last season, my anxiety was at dangerously high levels because of the initial uncertainty surrounding stevie johnson's FA

This season, with Levitre and Byrd ... I don't know how I'll even get sleep some nights

But on the bright side, there is just no way in hell we let a guy like Byrd walk. Just no way at all. One thing I like about Nix very much is that he seems to realize the importance of retaining your best players.

I think they'll cut both Kelsay and Anderson, and let Moore start next year before they let Byrd or Levitre walk. Plus, Spencer Johnson is a FA and we prob won't resign him with Carrington coming on, that's another 3m. With Kelsay, Anderson, Johnson and McGee (likely) all gone, that's like 10m right there that's freed up. Brad Smith is another 3m on that. So that's 13m right there and you haven't even yet had to cut someone of substance. Byrd and Levitre both stay. I wouldn't count on a huge splash in FA, though. I think we're going to fill our holes at LBer and QB through the draft. Maybe sign a WR to compete for #2.

Mrs. Byrd, please! Your husband WILL get his money! And you'll be able to upgrade your wardrobe. Now please stop,clogging up the boards with your threads!

We must keep Byrd. He is playing at a very high level, maybe best in the NFL. I do believe that having Gilmore on the team has helped the D overall. Including Byrd. At this point can anyone imagine our secondary this season WITHOUT Gilmore? Dont say that often for a rookie corner. He is a good one!

whoa nelly !!!!

Open up the wallet and ask him to take out how much he wants. Between Moorman and Merriman there's a bit of change to start with. Too bad we don't save anything by cutting Kelsay. Still we should have enough to sign Levitre, Byrd and Moore.

Agree.... Can't let this guy go...

Bringing back memories of that draft after still fuming about the Maybin pick, and having to console my crying son because he was upset we picked Wood earlier than I prepared him for (and his favorite guy Everett Brown was still on the board), I remember wondering why at the time did we pick a CB with slower than 4.6 speed.

I didn't know they liked him as a safety and I'm glad the Bills did their homework then....he's been awesome.

[Feeling On Youboty]

Just for reference the highest paid Safety in the NFL is Eric Weddle. Here's his contract numbers per Rotoworld.

7/29/2011: Signed a five-year, $40 million contract. The deal contains $19 million guaranteed, including a $13 million signing bonus. 2012: $5 million, 2013: $6 million, 2014-2015: $7.5 million

I don't think Byrd gets that much. 5yrs, 30M, 14M GTD is where I'd start.

OMG can you imagine if we had taken Brian Cushing???

Cushing
Wood
Levitre
Byrd

Every time I think about it I cry.

Even with Maybin in there, that is probably the best Bills draft this century.

Great going away gift from Jauron and Co.

Lets say, if those end up being the numbers or even higher, those numbers can be attained by cutting Kelsay and Thigpen. At that point its a no brainer for us to keep him. I'm hoping safeties salaries stay at their relatively modest levels and their isn't some crazy bidding war for his services.

"PAY HIM WHAT HE WANTS!!!"

[FloridaGatorsBuffaloBills]

If he had 4.4 speed he'd be unbelievable.

[vegasloveforthebills]

If he had 4.4 speed he'd be unbelievable.

If he had 4.4 speed, he probably would have been taken before our 2nd rounder that year too.

Or would have been converted to CB, rather than S

[BuffaloBilly]

Byrd is a baaaaad man
