Well that seemed needlessly pretentious. How do you know he's way way way better than I am at his job that I am at my job? Anyway, he plays a sport where they pay premium dollar for top players in top positions. Byrd is a safety, and apparently, not a top need and so did not warrant top long term contract according to the front office. That's all this is. This has been hashed out at nauseum, including my points and yours. We should all get past it, the season is about to start, that's in the past!
I've thought this too, but does he get paid if he doesn't play? I would think he does, but there are those on this board who say otherwise. Someone clear this up?
