ALF Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 If they can't get a trade, just tag him, something could happen by July 15 deadline. If he signs his tag and reports to training camp ready to play, just keep him at least another season for $8.3m.
3rdand12 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Same old bills. I hope this isn't true but history says this team would be dumb enough to let a star go for nothing with no legit replacement plan in place. we dont know they dont have a plan per se.. Edited March 2, 2014 by 3rdand12
Coach Tuesday Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Same old bills. I hope this isn't true but history says this team would be dumb enough to let a star go for nothing with no legit replacement plan in place. And you can get your life they aren't going to use the savings on other players. This goes straight to Ralph's bottom line and Littman's bonus.
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Byrd and Bills to soon part ways - per WGR55 text.
nucci Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Tag and trade , why wouldn't they?? because you can't guarantee a trade
3rdand12 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 because you can't guarantee a trade True . But a poor trade is better than No trade isnt it ?

If they tag him I'd bet you a months salary his plantar fascitis comes back mysteriously.

That money is banked right back to Grosse Point Shores, MI. EDIT: And people wonder why the staff and possibly the football people are not happy. Their hands are tied behind their backs.

Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Screw him. He was never a BUFFALO Bill. Watch his feet heal real quick. Running for the money.
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 True . But a poor trade is better than No trade isnt it ? In order to trade him you have to tag him. Then you have to find a trading partner who is willing to give you something tangible for a player who they can't sign to a long term deal. You have to find a trading partner who is willing to take a guy they only have for one year. No team is willing to do that for a safety with a chronic foot condition.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Later Byrd.....enjoy the 10 mil a year in Jacksonville. Tell poz hello.
fansince88 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 don't trust any news from wgr. this is what they want Im sure

Chronic probowl foot condition that will amazingly heal with a long term deal i betcha

If that were true he wouldn't be about to get a monster contract. You're just wrong.
bobinaz Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 He probably doesn't want to be here....4 DC in his career so far on a losing team. Let's see how long it takes before the Brown's sign him.
Mike in Syracuse Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) If that were true he wouldn't be about to get a monster contract. You're just wrong. ' Really? I'm wrong? Then you tell me who is lining up to trade for him. There's a reason the Safety position has the second lowest tag number just about punters and kickers. Byrds a great safety, spending $10M or more per year on a safety is just stupid and that's why the vast majority of other teams in the NFL don't do it.

Maury Ballstein Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 ' Really? I'm wrong? Then you tell me who is lining up to trade for him. Philly has been mentioned.
QB Bills Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I'm skeptical about this. WGR is useless when it comes to inside info. And Whaley has implied on record that they won't let him leave for nothing.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Hard to be skeptical when it's this close to decision time. Joe B is normally pretty solid w the news.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 We need to also be mindful that this is a negotiation. There are sides and sources both leaking info to their advantage. We will see what tomorrow brings.
