26CornerBlitz Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Byrd is one of the few play makers that the Bills have on Defense. They better not let him get to Free Agency. Let's get this done Buddy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Because midyear contract extensions have worked out so well for the Bills. We need to pay the guy but let's wait until closer to the season's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Because midyear contract extensions have worked out so well for the Bills. We need to pay the guy but let's wait until closer to the season's end. I second that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PO'14 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 first good game in eons and now we have to pay the guy! He basically intercepted the same pass twice by 2 different QBs...Show me more before you PAY DA MAN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to pay the guy but let's wait until closer to the season's end. Point well taken, as long as he never reaches FA status. He's been a good player since he began his Bills' career. Can't afford to let him get away. first good game in eons and now we have to pay the guy! He basically intercepted the same pass twice by 2 different QBs...Show me more before you PAY DA MAN! He forced two fumbles against the Pats....guess you forgot that in the midst of the debacle. Bottom line is that he's one of the very few on D who has a nose for the ball.

We finally saw what the impact of a good pass rush could do for him. He's a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigc14120 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Whenever some of your draft picks work out reasonably well, and the team wins a few, the guys whose contract is up at yearend have leverage. Byrd plays really well at times, and is a keeper. But, Levitre and Urbik are also in that league. Nix can't afford to overpay any one guy (well, maybe one), because he has to keep the whole team together within a reasonable NFL salary structure. That is under the cap rules...that foster parity within the NFL. It might happen that a great young safety is worth more to one club than another....or any other good player in a contract year as well. I believe that Nix knows how to handle this stuff with the help of the money guy in Detroit (who isn't the devil, totally anyhow) So, I hope these great players remain Bills, but I don't want overpayment on an emotional basis based on one good game. I do admit, he is the only producer in the db crop. Nobody else has gotten gamewinning plays. Have expected the safeties to do some of that, but have been disappointed.

stevestojan Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I love that he made the picks of course but those two quarterbacks stared at the receiver the were going to for so long they could have been arrested for stalking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'd like to keep both Byrd and Levitre. Hopefully after that, we have enough to go after some other parts to the puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickedface Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 he's pretty good, i say pay the man. but mid season extensions seem to be trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryG83 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 He is a ball hawk. He is the rare member of our defence that can actually force or recover the football. They cannot let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Agreed with Levitre first. He's the second most crucial element of our run game, after Spiller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Levitre first.... They HAVE to do it this way, I agree. They need to sign Levitre now, and then they can franchise Byrd. They can't franchise Levitre, because his salary would be average of top 5 o linemen. Not just guards, so he'd be getting top left tackle money as a guard!

auburnbillsbacker Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Levitre first.... I agree, because the franchise tag for a safety is a lot less than an offensive lineman. Right now tackles, guards, and centers are all grouped in the same category. If they resign Levitre, at least the bills could use the franchise tag on Byrd. I would love to have both of them signed before the season ended however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
