Baba Booey Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just what I expected, did not want to be in camp. Will be starting on week 1, great to have him back. D looks stronger this year and even better with Byrd in the back. This Season... CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Update: Per Albert Breer, it was a straight tag. There was NO language stating the Bills won't tag him next year. Edited August 21, 2013 by FluffHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Update: Per Albert Breer, it was a straight tag. There was NO language that stated the Bills won't tag him next year. Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 1m Per source, the one-year deal that Jairus Byrd signed was the straight tender -- No no-tag provision for 2014 as part of it. This is the best news.......the only thing better would be.....Byrd fires Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It doesn't really make sense to allow you to negotiate but not sign. At least none I can think of. Here is a good all around article on franchise tenders, specifically as it relates to Byrd, although it doesnt answer our question. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/The-looming-franchise-player-negotiating-deadline.html The reason to allow talking? If you ask me its because it would be unreasonable and unenforceable to expect them not to talk from today til January.... Why have the rule if you can't enforce it in any way?

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 He can practice it but there is nothing like real national anthem game reps That's what I was afraid of. DOOMED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGuzman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 As many of us said numerous times, there was no way in hell he was gonna miss any games. Not at $432,000 per game. I thought he might miss games yes the annual salary i s alot but on the open market he could probably fetch 20 million guaranteeed. I think more is Byrd's a competitor and just wanted to be out there with his team. I bet you parker was advocating for a longer hold out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I would be more surprised I guess to learn that he didn't get the guarantee from the Bills to not franchise him next year than I would to learn he came in on his own with two weeks to go. That really doesn't amount to much of a threat. I think he would sign right before the season started, seeing if the Bills would cave in the last week. It's possible that Byrd just told Parker I want to play when he saw how much fun the Bills defense was having, and decided he didn't care about the franchise tag next year any more, he thought he would play better if given the two weeks. your likely correct. Damn, just I just agree with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanGuzman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Albert Breer reporting that Bills can still use the franchise tag next year if they want to. Agreement does not prohobit them to unlike the one we reached with Nate Clements in 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I know he'll have enough time to pick up the playbook but do you think there'll be enough time to learn how to stand during the national anthem? He can practice it but there is nothing like real national anthem game reps :lol: Update: Per Albert Breer, it was a straight tag. There was NO language stating the Bills won't tag him next year. This is how you play hardball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 If the Albert Breer report is correct, that there is no agreement to not franchise, this is truly great news, and plenty of time for Byrd to get completely acclimated to the Bills new defense.

MarkKelso'sHelmet Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This turns out not to be a big deal, after all. I'm glad he didn't wait until a few days before the first game, like that fat slob Jason Peters did. You can't blame him for skipping camp and minimizing his chance for injury. Now camp is over and he signed. Hopefully he has a good season and stays healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Wonder if this means they have a long-term agreement in principle with Parker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
