Whenever some of your draft picks work out reasonably well, and the team wins a few, the guys whose contract is up at yearend have leverage. Byrd plays really well at times, and is a keeper. But, Levitre and Urbik are also in that league. Nix can't afford to overpay any one guy (well, maybe one), because he has to keep the whole team together within a reasonable NFL salary structure. That is under the cap rules...that foster parity within the NFL. It might happen that a great young safety is worth more to one club than another....or any other good player in a contract year as well. I believe that Nix knows how to handle this stuff with the help of the money guy in Detroit (who isn't the devil, totally anyhow) So, I hope these great players remain Bills, but I don't want overpayment on an emotional basis based on one good game. I do admit, he is the only producer in the db crop. Nobody else has gotten gamewinning plays. Have expected the safeties to do some of that, but have been disappointed.
