NoSaint Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Four picks for one player (who will get 7m/year, and probably 15m guaranteed) is different from the Whitner/Ginn deals. Whitner's getting 11.5m over three years. The 49ers traded a fifth for Ginn, who's only getting about 2m/year. You don't give up a first, second, and fourth for a safety making that kind of money, even an All-Pro. It's happened before, it'll happen again - not betting on Byrd to the 9ers but trades of the sort can happen THE BILLS are getting bargain price with BYRDS franchise tag ..with are the cuts at his position ,woodson, gamble, wilson,the tag cost is lowering .those were the top salaries at his postion so his tag number is dropping so far nearly 500k is being estimated.,sign byrd dont B word! 2 corners and a safety not likely in the top 5 salaries this year won't effect him...

Captain Hindsight Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Didn't San Fran get their Pro Bowl starting safety in FA? What about Ted Ginn, did they draft him? You should look up Ted Ginns stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It going up/down can hurt/help that process A couple hundred K on the franchise will have very very very very little effect on a 4 or 5 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why would someone trade for Jairus when several Pro Bowl safeties were just cut and the best one is UFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why do I get the feeling that the bills will trade Jairus Byrd for a couple of draft picks? Does any one here get the same feeling? Don't know why you get that feeling. The trade market for franchised players on a 1 year contract usually isn't too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 No because the likelihood of anybody trading multiple picks for a guy on a 1 year deal isn't very high. The tender does not mean much outside of guaranteed compensation if Byrd were to sign an offer sheet...Which no team would do knowing they would have to give up 2 1st Round picks...I'm uncertain if this changed with the new CBA, but in the past teams could negotiate trades concerning tendered players...This allowed the new team to sign the player for market value without having to give up a King's ransom...It also allowed the team losing the player to negotiate fair compensation...This scenario never took place unless the player was getting a new long-term deal...So it was kind of a win, win, win when it was clear the old team was not going to pony up the cash for a long-term deal...

NoSaint Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 With delmas, bigby, both landrys, goldson, possibly Ed reed, etc.... I just don't think someone will trade the high pick for a safety. He's really a great player but there's a big market out there to shop at. Some quality ones in the draft too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussellDopeland Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yeah, and I get the feeling we may trade Spiller, Mario Williams, and Stevie Johnson as well. Sorry Chicken Little- we're not the Miami Marlins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle flap Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Keep in mind that Byrd's agent is Eugene Parker who doesn't play nice with Brandon and Overdorf. Remember the Jason Peters fiasco? It's certainly within the realm of possibility that Parker advises Byrd to hold out if they can't reach a long term deal. If the situation gets messy, the Bills may decide to swing a trade to make it some other team's problem. I'm not saying that's likely to happen but it wouldn't be the first time something like that has gone down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotpockets28 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If I were the bills gm if I could land a first round pick for byrd I will so do it..i would draft his replacement in a player like matt elam from florida and save much more cap space at the sametime for other fa picks up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If I were the bills gm if I could land a first round pick for byrd I will so do it..i would draft his replacement in a player like matt elam from florida and save much more cap space at the sametime for other fa picks up As others have said though, there are a lot of good safeties available in both free agency and the draft this year so a trade for Byrd is probably unlikely.

If you don't report by week1 you lose I think multiple years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Of course not -- and how about a thread title edit to make it clear it's the OP who thinks this silliness and not Byrd himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Listen. Byrd IS a 1st round pick. He plays like a 1st rounder. He's a proven NFL player. Not a prospect. You don't trade a proven player for a low 1st rounder or a 2nd. You trade him for 2 or even 3 picks. If they do trade him and it's for any less than 3 picks, it's a giant step backwards.

ny33 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Could someone change the misleading thread title. To be fair, it says "think," not "thinks," though a question mark would improve the clarity of the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
