If he can still play, and is fully healthy I wonder if the Bills have tried to bring him back on the cheap? Especially if hes not the starter and is only playing 20-30 snaps a game.

Not a huge fan of Byrd. I think he was an average safety the capitalized at the right time. Not sure with age and injury history he has much left to give.. Theres a reason hes still unsigned.

Lets not forget it was only TT 2nd year playing really. He sat for all those years in Baltimore. This is the big year for him. I don't feel much judgement can be made until after this year. Unfortunately for him hes on his 3rd OC in 3 years. Luckily he worked his Dennison in Baltimore.

lets just keep changing coaches and QBs every 2-3 years, that seems to work.

I dont get the hate for TT. He has done enough with the offense the last 2 years for them to be good enough to make the playoffs. The sole reason the Bills didnt make it is because of the defense, not because of TT.

He was comfortable moving down and setting himself up to make a big splash next year. Hes not getting fired after this year so why not stock up for the draft next year.... Its pretty simple this structure in an organization does not overwhemingly work

Agreed, GM has a vision for Today and the future. Coach only cares about Today, and the guys that fit his skeme. GM wants football players, coach wants guys that fit. GM spend their life learning to scout and evaluate. Just like a coach spends his life drawing up plays, and coming up with the best skeme. The 2 should not be mixed/

yea and the problem is Belichick is the exception to the rule.

Its total control of the 53 man roster. Meaning Gase and quinn have final say over who makes the roster. The GM has say as to who he brings in, and constructs the the 90man.

Thats my point. The GM should be in total control of rosters, but work well with the head coach. you shouldnt draft players to fit a system. Just draft good quality football players.

So you want to draft a player to specifically fit a system? Then the coach gets fired in 3years, player doesnt fit new coaches system, and then you start all over again. No you draft football players. Not guys that fit a specific system.

Exactly!! Marv let his coaches coach, and let Polian, Butler scout and bring in the Players. Marv wasn't power hungry and demanding full control. This is what happens when you dont have a president of football operations.

Barkley would be a great pick. Bama runningbacks scare me Saban beats the hell out of them. good info.

How Many How many 30 yr old RB are worth his salary? Dump a player a year early not a year too late. Clay isn't worth his cap, and Sammy is the toss up.

I mean whats the point of drafting Peterman. The Bills should worry about QB next year, or the year after that.

So looking ahead, and planning your roster a few years ahead. (which almost every successful organization does) is laughable. But hiring a first time HC, and giving him total power isnt?

Great pick up. his size, added to Holmes, Logan thomas, and Clay. Big time Red zone targets.

Not saying this will happend, but there is a very real chance that McCoy, Watkins, and Clay are all gone by 2018. McCoys age and cap number may get him cut. Clay hasn't been very productive but I blame the QB. Still team may find his cap number isnt worth it. Letting go Sammy would just be one of the dumbest moves in this history of the Bills organization. At this point not one of those players has a replacement on this roster. This team is in huge trouble.

Character wise he'd fit in perfect in Buffalo. Hard working great kid. Hope the Bills bring him in.

great post, rival high schools yea kinda. Sammys squad rolled all over them. Wasn't much of a competition.

Wasn't going to be the starter after starting last year. usually tough to keep a guy after that. Other than that not sure.

Great character guy, hard working. Solid tackler struggles a little in coverage as hes not extremely athletic. Doesnt have over the top speed. Could help with depth, and play on Special teams. May be able to let the D do more with Hyde. Worth signing. Grew up playing with Sammy.

league min is probably all hes looking for. Being cut now not sure he can ask for much more

Hes good friends with Sammy. Watched him play in HS. can definitely help this team.

Control of the 53 man roster means that Quinn has final say on cuts and who is active on game day. Dimitroff brings in the players, drafts them, and signs FA while working with the HC. But has control of the roster up until the 53 man cut down.
