Levitre is absolutely worth the franchise tag to keep him...he will wind up getting logan mankins money 6yr/$50 mil. he is better than mankins.
Byrd is over rated....he can't cover a tight end or wide receiver, he gets faked out by runners easily......he is a ball hawk ( if you call 5 int's special) and his tackling has improved over last year.
a safety is alot easier to replace.

CEO Russ Brandon has been unhappy with the criticism levelled at the Bills, and how it’s translated into poor ticket sales. Buffalo failed to sell out its four final home games.
One option is for the Bills to make a splash in hiring their next head coach, as they attempted in their previous search.
(doesn't look good for nix if he is not in that meeting with russ and ralph).
for 2013......way under......
have you seen our schedule ?....we play AFC North (bal, cin, pit & cle) and NFC SOUTH ( atl,tb, no &car).
new coaches and system to learn...
i say things get worse 5-11
the broncos did not fill the GM role after Brian Xanders was let go by elway. Elway has final say on personnel decisions.....but xanders never had final say on roster decisions under Shanahan, McDaniels or Elway.
elway had some previous experience running/owning an Arena Football League franchise AND has a year with xanders before letting him go. Jim Kelly has no such experience and would definitely need Whaley.
the big news will be ralph cleans house.....nix, gailey and all coaches fired.....jim kelly will be given a position similar to what john elway has with the broncos (executive vice president of football operations) and asst gm doug whaley will be promoted to GM and report to kelly.
