So you are suggesting he's dogging it?.....if dogging it is defined as last year he played through the pain and this year he is going to rest it......then yes I am. What makes you think he would be so eager to play hurt once he got his money?....because that's what most of these guys do, they play through pain. a lot of pain. unbearable pain.

if Byrd got his long term deal, he would take a shot and play sunday...just like he did all last year.

like someone who buys an aggressive attack dog, then acts surprised when it bites someone. when byrd is not on the field sunday resting his foot, what is the bills leverage ?

Jairus regarding when the plantar faciitis injury started: It was just something that happened last year actually; he said. I played with it last year and things didnt progress the way I liked them too in the offseason based on the protocol that was told to me. Im just trying to get my feet ready and thats it and trying to help the team win as many games as we possibly can. 8 months since the season ended and his feet still ain't right.

Q: what can you say definitively about you wanting to be here in buffalo for the entire season ? A: I really don't wanna speak on anything like that, I think that'd be something for my agent to handle that side. how anyone doesn't think Jairus absolutely knows his agent is seeking a trade is laughable.

there is no doubt in my mind that Tyrd is walking the tight rope just right. Jairus is saying and DOING all the right things himself regarding his coaches and fellow players, but he has given his blessings for his agent to be the hard azz.

key word "actively"......meaning, they were, but are not currently.....parker now realizes no one is interested.

pssst, the sources are from people your agent is calling..... the information from an executive on another NFL club and another agent who is not employed by Byrd lends credence to the uncomfortable situation that exists between the Bills and their Pro Bowl safety. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/sources-byrd-agent-trying-to-orchestrate-trade-20130904 of course Tyrd could just flat out say he doesn't want to be traded....nooooooo, he hides behind the "name the source" shell game.

might be counting on losing the coin flip ?

he doesn't have a choice.....he's not a free agent until 2016. 8/6/2010: Signed a six-year, $39.3 million contract. The deal contains $20.8 million guaranteed. Another $12.5 million is available through incentives, roughly $12 million of which are available in the final year. Spiller is eligible for an annual $250,000 workout bonus throughout the contract's life. 2013: $2,623,334, 2014: $1,748,750, 2015: $2,196,663, 2016: Free Agent http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5566/cj-spiller

Byrd should sue Parker for MALPRACTICE... known lingering injury Plantar Faciitis from the end of last season to today....check. known degenerative hip condition discovered during X-rays at the combine and ended up missing the end of his rookie season to have surgery for a labral tear....check turned down security of a long term deal with over $20 million GUARANTEED money......check

so in other words...I don't "want" a trade...i'm just "open" to it......not much difference.

you don't put him on IR....that is playing right into Tyrds hand......gets paid all his money AND eliminates risk of further injury. nope, make him come to rehab every day, let him embarrass himself to his peers and the press. when he gets healthy, you play him. if he slacks off, he's only hurting himself.

don't panic...play it out.....let Tyrd & Parker pull their tactics... do NOT trade him unless the deal blows you away (at least one or two first rounders). say publicly you have no interest in trading Tyrd. a long term contract is still your goal (good faith). make him report daily for rehab (peer pressure). keep him under team control (tag him next year).

make him ride a bike in a storage shed. -Mike Leach

parker fanning the flames, trying to get the Fans and the front office to turn on Tyrd , to force a trade. the value for a franchise tagged player is two 1st rounders. the chances of a first round draft choice making the pro bowl twice is 17%. do NOT give in to parkers tricks.

what ??...he's faking ??.....say it isn't so

this

his knee is fine and his streak without missing a game start will continue.

Jairus Byrd trying to get the Bills to trade him http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/05/jairus-byrd-trying-to-get-the-bills-to-trade-him/ maybe Tyrd is faking, I mean exaggerating his injury ? knew Tyrd was damaged goods.....check knew Tyrd had a nightmare of an agent.....check decided to tag Byrd and let Levitre become a free agent.......check yep, that FO is brilliant !!

I've been saying for months it's going to get UGLY......boom !!

New England 34-31

A team source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Hugh Douglas, whose post with the Eagles he re-titled "bad-ass-ador," entered the team's training room Wednesday and announced "I know there are people in here faking injuries." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2215718 One reason IR rules became so rigid over the years is that teams like the Raiders and Redskins in the 80s used it to hide young talent. Players were told to fake injuries so the team can hoard young talant. And it occasionally is still being done, but its not as prevalent. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Injured-Reserve-rules-need-an-overhaul.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

just laying the ground work.......players fake injuries.
