    Browns have a ton of picks to deal with and could definitely use a compliment to TJ. The Bills may ask for too much though. Let's see what happens.

    unable to extend his contract until seasons end will be a deal breaker for sure.

    I agree. Banner doesn't want guys like that

  • The deal could easily be contingent on Byrd signing a long term deal here. The Bucs did the same with Revis. If he won't sign a longer contract, the deal is off. Happens all the time.

    That was a completely different situation. Revis had in writing what the extension would be before the trade was finished. No handshake deals or verbal agreements. Actual contracts were signed. The Boozer situation does not apply here.

    Byrd can't sign anything until after the season

    Is that because he is franshised? Franchised players can sign a deal during the season. It happened a couple of year ago but the team escapes me.

    He wasn't franchised, he was tendered. According to your article it says he can not be extended until after the season

    Ah, I see.
  • Seriously guys Byrd is a great safety but why waste all of that cap when Gipson has played very well? Byrd is a top 5 safety in the league so is tj ward. We don't need two! Gipson has played great. If you want to trade for something lets get a QB who can read a defense. There's plenty of backup qbs that could be had for the right price and lead this team to the playoffs. Under weeden I just don't have faith we can beat a good team.

    This.

  • I don't know much about Byrd, other than reputation, but I found out all I need to know when we played this week. He was being a little bitch, when the coaches basically said he could play, he didn't. He was whining saying he's only going to play when he's 100% - we don't need that kind of pussy on this team.

  • Ditto the last two: Why break the bank for Byrd when we're one of the best pass defenses in the league by many measures (including lowest YPA) and we have a FS playing really good football? With two healthy feet? Don't get it.

    Tell me we can add a RB with some speed, a CB with some size, a right-side blocker, or another WR, I'm in. Don't get the safety fixation. Right now, the DBs are a strength and Bademosi can't even get on the field.

  • I'd take him in a minute.

    We need a ballhawk to really put our defense over the top, I don't get the whole being content because our defense is good. If we can improve at a reasonable cost we should definitely do it.

    I get confused with American slang - I though 'a minute' meant a really long time? Like, "I've been trying to get a better job for a minute" - so, you'd take him, but next year?

    That's just it- Byrd won't come at "a reasonable cost". Folks around here miss Bills fans lamenting his atttitude concerning his foot owie?

  • Let's just all admit that bolstering and remodeling our front seven, and sticking with athletically gifted but inexperienced small school players Gipson and Skrine in Uber-Coach Horton's scheme ... The front office saved us two huge draft/ free agency strokes .... They both look great.

    The problem with that is the Horton will be gone next season.

    I hear you ... But these two will already be tested under fire and whoever takes over next year is probably a Horton disciple already on the staff.

    Disciples rarely have the same success. Ask anyone who's been picking off the Belichick tree lately.

    I have no qualms about our defense as it stands today. But without Horton, I think we may need a playmaker or two.

    Definitely not Byrd. But a good rookie MLB or #2 CB couldn't hurt.
