MarkyMannn Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Why wouldn't a guy want a front loaded deal? If he plays well he holds out later on. If he plays poorly he is never going to see the money late in the deal anyways? One too many blows to the head. Yeah take the up-front money
Fixxxer Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 @Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 29s Would be really surprised if #Redskins were in on Jairus Byrd, from what I’m hearing. We’ll see his market. Return to Bills still possible and then Buscaglia says @Joe Buscaglia @JoeBuscaglia 37s And then there's this. #ByrdWatch RT @NBCdianna Sources say it will be between the Eagles or The Redskins for Jairus Byrd

bbb Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Byrd has started a new facebook page. Hmnn. He's also been tweeting more the last week than he did in the year or so that I followed him combined. Not sure if this is some sort of strategy?
FireChan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 He's also been tweeting more the last week than he did in the year or so that I followed him combined. Not sure if this is some sort of strategy? Byrd's trying to catfish one franchise to double up on earnings.
jletha Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 He's also been tweeting more the last week than he did in the year or so that I followed him combined. Not sure if this is some sort of strategy? If I remember correctly he did that last year when we tried to reach a deal with him and I thought it was interesting. Its some sort of game he plays to make him seem more personable or something but yea its very noticeable how much more he tweets since negotiations ended

qblax16 Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Anyone talking about how saturated the safety market is, and that two lesser safeties (Whitner and Ward) are getting some attention right away? Front office folks seem to think that the value of those safeties is going to be better off than blowing up the bank for a better safety in Byrd. ...just the ramblings of a guy who still wants Byrd on his team.
mattsox Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 What is taking Russ so long to get this done. Pay the man. He had 10 starts and still made the Pro Bowl. Get It Done already! We need this guy!
Reed83HOF Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 If they indeed rolled over their 2012 and 2013 leftover cap room.....as reported by the Buffalo News......they would have A LOT more cap room than that. Everybody got a $10M bump just over a week ago when the cap was set much higher than expected. Aaron Williams new 6.5$ mill contract accounts for the 23 million down the 16.5 million....
VanCity Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Aaron Williams new 6.5$ mill contract accounts for the 23 million down the 16.5 million.... Did I mis-read, or does that contract not kick in until 15-16? I may be wrong, but clarification is appreciated.
Reed83HOF Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Did I mis-read, or does that contract not kick in until 15-16? I may be wrong, but clarification is appreciated. I might have missed that part....I didn't mean to sound like that was the reason....was just an off the cuff thought....
VanCity Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I might have missed that part....I didn't mean to sound like that was the reason....was just an off the cuff thought.... Actually, i think you are correct. Just looking into that.

I would not give him a ton of money." Jeff McLane @Jeff_McLane 1m Don't rule out Jairus Byrd returning to the Bills if he can't get big money on the market. They'll pay him a fair amount.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Did I mis-read, or does that contract not kick in until 15-16? I may be wrong, but clarification is appreciated. I believe that his salary from his rookie contract stays in tact, and the new four year salaries start next year, so we have him for five years. But the contract was signed, and he gets a large portion of the overall contract in bonuses. His signing bonus was $6.5 million, so he gets that now in cash, and there will be another bonus due in a year or two. Overall, however, his cap number goes up prorated for the 5 years, and his cash to cap number goes up 6.5m for what he got last week.

Not surprising to me. This is why I was saying he couldn't pull the PF crap again if he got tagged this year. Nobody would give money to a player who had to miss time in 2 straight years phantom injury or not. It looks like this year hurt him more than I thought though. The less I hear about Byrd as FA is beginning the more of a possibility his return becomes.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 NO way Byrd signs back with us. He has too much pride CBF

Sport trac had it and I'm feeling to lazy to link it 4.2 million cap hit next year Edited March 11, 2014 by section122
FluffHead Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 NO way Byrd signs back with us. He has too much pride CBF That's crap this is not about pride. He wanted to test his value and if his best value is here he'll come back
