Eugene Parkers "MO" will be to only accept a contract that makes Byrd the Highest Paid Safety in the NFL ahead of picking a winning team. the bills will offer Byrd a contract. but not #1 money. Parker will turn it down. the bills will franchise tag him again. Byrd will not report to OTA's and mini camp. Parker and Byrd will do EXACTLY what they did last year. they will not flinch. if anyone flinches it will be the bills, by trading him.

what has been reported by Adam Benini is that the bills offered Top 4-5 money (that is vague and makes no mention of goldson or guaranteed money). all other stories on the subject are quoting Adam Benini.

The Pro Football Writers of America, the official voice of pro football writers fighting and promoting for access to NFL personnel to best serve the public, is extremely disappointed in the lack of meaningful access to Seattle running back Marshawn Lynch at the Super Bowl XLVIII media day on Tuesday, the PFWA said in a statement issued by president D. Orlando Ledbetter. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/29/pfwa-extremely-disappointed-by-lynchs-conduct-at-media-day/ Players are required to participate and he participated, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told PFT by email on Tuesday night. We will continue to monitor the situation. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/28/nfl-satisfied-with-lynchs-participation-in-media-day/

it's been widely reported the Bills did offer "goldson" money (top 4-5). Byrd is holding out for #1 money. and no I do not have sworn testimony from the bills or Eugene Parker.

who could forget... Marshawn Lynch GIMME 20 DOLLARS

his agent made it clear they were "open" to a trade.....because they didn't want anyone to think they "wanted" a trade.

go to you tube and plug in this search "skittles banned commercial cat" by Saige Kelly 3,650,122 hits i'd put the link in direct, but......it's PG-13

NOT a violation...in fact, this showing your bills colors behavior is encouraged.

Laughable.....all he said was we aren't ruling out anything......so anyone can take any meaning they want. here's what I heard.....the Bills are tagging Byrd and there will be no significant changes to the Toronto series.

Hardy at $14 mil is money better spent than Tyrd at $10 mil

did Schwartz omit Byrd on purpose ? heard him mention Mario, kyle, dareus, gilmore & mckelvin.

Marrone & Schwartz on WGR550 live now...

#1- goodell wanted to cancel the Pro Bowl. #2- the players really wanted to keep it and went so far as to suggest rule changes etc... #3- goodell put it on the players to prove they wanted it by actually playing hard.

Goodell salutes players for Pro Bowl improvements: 'You have to admit it was very competitive' Goodell told ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike in the Morning. 'Exciting. Fun. I think the players played much harder.' Goodell liked the changes, as suggested by NFLPA president Domonique Foxworth. 'I believe it was a very, very positive step,' Goodell said. 'I salute the players.' http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/27/goodell-salutes-players-for-pro-bowl-improvements/

not that it matters, but there are a lot of folks who get paid differently from one day to the next depending if they are considered skilled or unskilled. there are no league rules that say you have to have a certain amount of WR's or TE's. you just can't exceed the maximum roster limit. you could have 10 TE's and zero WR's if you wanted. all these guys are over paid......but none of that matters either. I have no idea what you do, but if you could get 50,000 folks to pay $100 to watch you do it, then you could make crazy money too.

when it comes to the Franchise Tag value...it's crystal clear. and it doesn't matter where other tight ends lined up or what he and others call his position ....it only matters where jimmy graham lined up for purposes of jimmy graham's franchise tag value. he is a TE, but if they Tag him and can't come to a long term agreement....he will be paid as a WR if he lined up outside more than he did next to a OT.

it's not muddy at all....the CBA definition is the ONLY one that matters. if he was lined up right next to an OT he is a TE. if he was lined up wide or in the slot he's a WR.

The analysis should be simple. Under Article 9, Section 2 of the CBA, [T]he tender will apply to the position in which the player participated in the most plays. Thus, if Graham was lined up wide or in the slot more times than he was lined up as a tight end, he's a receiver. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/13/franchise-tag-fight-looming-between-saints-and-graham/

this is the first Pro Bowl I watched in over 5 years. I thought is was very entertaining and worth keeping if played like that. I especially enjoyed some big hits by guys from the same regular season teams. one of the KC's LB's, I think it was Derrick Johnson just lit up Jamaal Charles. Cleveland Browns safety TJ Ward sent WR Josh Gordon flipping in the air. JJ Watt playing next to Super Mario, Ndamakingkong Suh and Greg Hardy were UNBLOCKABLE. the DB's were all playing man to man. between the two teams there were 9 sacks and 6 interceptions....the defense got the message.

WHEN WAS THE LAST PRO BOWL HEADLINE: "Defense ruled the day", which is not something we've seen out of recent Pro Bowls. The defensive lines dominated from the start. Drew Brees was hit twice on the first drive, including a blindside sack from Gerald McCoy. On the other side, Newton was sacked four times in the second quarter alone; obviously Ron Rivera didn't ask his D-linemen to go easy on his franchise quarterback. The teams combined for nine sacks. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000318206/article/team-rice-defeats-team-sanders-in-nfl-pro-bowl NFLPA president: Roger Goodell was close to canceling Pro Bowl The Pro Bowl is Sunday night, but commissioner Roger Goodell was considering doing away with the game, according NFL Players Association president Domonique Foxworth. Roger was very serious about potentially canceling the Pro Bowl, because apparently it's very expensive and isn't of a ton of value to them, Foxworth told USA Today this week. To be honest with you, I was completely comfortable with eliminating it until I talked to the players, and they said they loved it and they want to be there. http://tracking.si.c...bowl/?eref=sihp

that's his message to the 31 other teams.... if the Bills Franchise Tag him, then he is waiting til 100% healthy.

he asked if the recent 5 year deal had to be approved by the NFL ...which it did.

looks like the players are heeding Goodell's warning about playing hard..... just ask drew brees who is get drilled by Mario, suh & watt
