It's very sad. Frustrating that inferior sites (i.e. Walter Football, Bleacher Report) can turn a profit with their sub-par analysis but a quality publication couldn't.

Wait until Kiko finds Khippewa, then we might see krazy.

Pick 5-10. QB Bridgewater or Boyd.

I thought this thread was going to be about Lee Evans

How does this crap get the ratings to stay on the air?
It's much better for ratings to become a bottom-of-the-barrel contrarion (i.e. Skip Bayless) than it is to provide an accurate analysis. It's unfortunate, but we reward the "look at me" media by not looking away.

Now I get most Bills fans are hyper sensitive to anything negative said about the Bills, but I don't care if Byrd played for the Pats, he is AVERAGE and does NOT deserve to be paid what he is looking for. I personally am hoping the Bills can ship him for a 1st rounder to some team stupid enough to go for it.
If by average you mean arguably the top FS in the league and the best FS we have had in the history of our franchise, then yeah, average.

Cut this scrub already.

Yeah but which one gets named Superbowl MVP?
This truly is the best time of the year for Bills fans

1980- my first year of caring about Bills football...beating SD week five in the battle of undefeated teams...kinda cool...RIP Chuck....
I remember them getting revenge and beating us in the playoffs 20-14. Fergy played on a busted ankle, and Fouts beat us late in the game with a bomb. I seem to remember Muncie fumbling at some point.

Ralph is cheap

This signing has Whaley written all over it.

Wow I think that thing looks laughably hideous!! It looks like a combination of an air-craft hangar and a church! That has to be just a concept, right?

This beach is crazy. I don't care how good she looked once. She is bathouse nuts.
Who's nuts, the woman who takes advantage of advancing medical technology, or the millions of people who go to psychics to get told what they want to hear?
Yeah... listening to doctors is crazy!

Duly noted. We can revisit this in a few weeks, as Byrd probably won't be showing up for OTAs (rightfully so) and eventually the News will run a column pointing this fact out, which should send a large portion of the fanbase into meltdown mode.

If you have a choice between an intriguing rookie WR and Smith, what would you do?
I guess it depends how intriguing. James Hardy level? Ultimately you have to trust the coach and his coordinators, it's hard for fans to gauge rookies in their 1st camp. But if Smith beats out that rookie in camp and earns a spot over him, so be it.
-
Okay let's do it your way. Link 2, Over the Cap site, if I am reading it correctly, the only two people would create more Cap savings than Smith, would be Byrd and Kyle Williams.the next closest would be E. Wood and Chandler. So in order of Cap savings we have, Byrd, K. Williams, Smth, E. Wood and Chandler. No one else is close.
What is wrong with this picture?
Well, if you're trying to say his production over the last 3 years isn't worth what we're paying him, you'll get no argument out of me. The question is, was it his fault or was he used incorrectly? I think it's a combination of both, and I think a new offensive-minded coach like Marrone who wants to feature an up-tempo west coast offense has to be intrigued. Like others in the thread have said, we aren't desperate to create cap space this year.

ultimately, Peters was traded after years of unhappiness about his contract.
Byrd and Peters have the same agent. Both are pro bowl quality players. Both will end up getting contracts that paid them like one of the top 3 at their position in the whole league. Both play for the Bills who will mostly likely (just like Peters situation) will not be willing to pay them top 3 money at their position on the whole league.
...and we hit both with the franchise tag! Right?

What was our record with Rolston?
15-11-5. Over 82 games that equates to about 92 points, which would typically get us into the playoffs as an 8th seed. So actually, the guy did a pretty good job considering the situation he was handed. I have no problem giving the guy a shot, but like most my beef is with Regier.

According to this article, if we have hard knocks here people will see Tavon Austin in a Bills uniform. So i'm all for it
Wow, if that's the case count me in as well!

For discussion purposes, here are the photos.

$3.8M aint chump change. You're starting to make a believer out of me when you say cut him. I doubt they could trade him for that much money.
The actual cap savings number is $2.75M. Brad Smith isn't going anywhere. Just because Gailey misused him doesn't mean he's getting cut.
I do think Lindell is gone unless this new kicker absolutely falls on his face. I loved Lindell, but he just can't hit the long ones anymore nor reach the endzone, and there's no way I want to carry 2 kickers again.

Hey, at least you can't accuse them of picking a fan favorite just to sell seats...

You're absolutely right that his attendance (or nonattendance) will be telling.
However, he has until June 15 to sign his tender per the CBA/league rules. If I understand the rules correctly, as long as he is unsigned, he doesn't face any penalty for not attending the minicamp, even though it's "mandatory." OTAs.
Simply put, he isn't "holding out" or subject to fines until after June 15, for whatever that's worth.
So, yes I agree, it won't look good if he doesn't sign by or show up to minicamp OTAs, but it could also be a bluff/negotiating tactic as June 15th is a more significant date in the negotiation process than May 10 or whenever the minicamp starts.
That said, I would hope Byrd realizes the importance of getting off on the right foot with the new staff and being there to learn a new defense. He already missed the voluntary camp a week or two ago, and would hate to see any detrimental effects of him having to play catch up.
EDIT: All the OTAs are voluntary until June 11-13. http://buffalowdown....-buffalo-bills/
You're right about everything except the date, it's July 15th.
Of course he won't show up - he doesn't have a contract, that would be crazy. What if he sustained a freak injury like an achilles pop? How many people here would risk something like that?
The franchise tag for safeties is a guaranteed one-year contract of $6.916 million if Byrd opts to accept it. But why would he? Free-agent safety Dashon Goldson signed a four-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers worth a reported $41.25 million with $22 million in guarantees.
Buffalo News is just terrible with contract information, it's a five year deal. But yeah, it's still screwing this negotiation up.

And just what BS is that? The noise from a handful of people on this forum who don't understand how the franchise tag works? *yawn*
