QCity Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Goldson's deal is worth $41.25 million over 5 years and includes $22 million in guaranteed money. Grrrr you suck Tampa, a gazillion in cap space and they're handing out blank checks. This is not going to help us negotiate with Byrd...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 He and Mark Barron will be a great tandem back there.
J-E-T-S-L-O-L Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 He and Mark Barron will be a great tandem back there. Along with Revis and Millner, they will have a great secondary.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Along with Revis and Millner, they will have a great secondary. Would be something, but no way Milliner lasts until their pick...They'd be giddy if it happened.
bills1960 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Landry is still available right? (Laron that is)
RyanC883 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Fu*k. Byrd is the man, but that is a TON of money for a safety. Not sure if I'd do it. Perhaps some way to structure it so it's back-loaded. But keeping Byrd and Wood next year will be difficult.
mitchmurraydowntown Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Byrd's so gone next year, this just spelled it out.

Grrrr you suck Tampa, a gazillion in cap space and they're handing out blank checks. This is not going to help us negotiate with Byrd... Actually, Polamalu retains top spot with a contract that has on average 9.87m/year. Bell comes 2nd with 8.34m/year. Goldson is 3rd(assuming the numbers quoted are correct) with 8.25m/year.
Big C Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Unless we start turning things around Byrd will have no incentive to stay other than $$. That will be so sad.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 So Mike Wallace, Kruger, Goldson and Levitre are the big winners in free agency so far? I would say from a performance standpoint that Goldson is the one most deserving of his contract. The others were overpaid, IMO. But whatever the market will bear...
Niagara Bill Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Based on Brandons logic ( he is in charge not Nix) we need to cut Byrd....you cannot pay a safety that much just like Levitre, you cannot pay a guard that much...CRAPPOLA
MDH Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Based on Brandons logic ( he is in charge not Nix) we need to cut Byrd....you cannot pay a safety that much just like Levitre, you cannot pay a guard that much...CRAPPOLA It's not based on "Brandon's logic" it's based simply on logic. You can't pay every position top 5 in the NFL super-star money. You have to pick and choose where (and who) you're going to pay. So if a team decides to use that much cash on a S or G it means they can't pay that much at another, perhaps more important, position. So you pay the "difference makers." I loved Levitre but he simply isn't a difference maker on the field. Byrd, on the other hand, has proven to be that on quite a few occasions. He's made big plays at crunch time to seal up wins - those are the guys you pay.
Sisyphean Bills Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Eugene Parker wouldn't take advantage of the Bills, now, would he?

aristocrat Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Start negotiating with Byrd now. I can't believe how much space tampa has. I read that they plan on giving revis 16 mil a year as well. Holy crap do will they have a ton of money in their secondary. In the NFC south you need it thought with Brees, Ryan and Newton.
Dibs Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 By Bell, I believe you mean "Berry," as in Eric Berry. Oops.
BillsWatch Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Based on Brandons logic ( he is in charge not Nix) we need to cut Byrd....you cannot pay a safety that much just like Levitre, you cannot pay a guard that much...CRAPPOLA CRAPPOLA assumption on Brandon's logic since he obviously agreed to tag Byrd.
Maddog69 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 somebody posted on twitter yesterday that Bryan Scott has almost identical stats to Goldson (actually slightly better) with half of the snaps. Yet he makes $750k and is disliked by many fans and Goldson makes $8m per yr. Crazy how perception is more important than reality. I would not want the Bills to pay Byrd anywhere close to what Goldson just got. Plenty of good safeties available at far more reasonable prices.
