BuffaloBill Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Amazing downfall. He was such a ballhawk. Loved watching him play on the Bills. Hard to argue that the Bills made an error here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPinC Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm a giant Whaley fan but I'm pretty sure we tried to re-sign Byrd. I think it would have set a bad tone to the rest of the team if we didn't make him a respectable offer, he was considered a talented safety at the time.

billsfan89 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 He suffered a pretty big knee injury at age 28 hard age to come back from a serious injury. Never seemed to be the same after that injury this year or last. At least he was able to get his big contract and cashed in on three years of it. Good decision for the Bills to not sign him although few knew at the time, he was a very good player with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I was surprised by the drop off in production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Gilmore has some of that "Bad-Jairus" in him. Talented......but an entitled clock watcher with a figurative copy of the CBA where his playbook should be. Part of that is on the organization by not putting these players in a position to win.......and therefore care more about the results. The Bills dodged many future bullets when ol' Eugene opted out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooklynBills Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Please stop. Whaley offered Byrd 7.5/yr over 6. $30 mil in the first 3 years. They absolutely wanted to keep him. If they knew they would lose him to FA, you would hope they would have done a better job ensuring they would have received a compensatory pick for him(likely a late third rounder). Instead, they needed to sign Chris Williams, Keith Rivers, Anthony Dixon, and Jarius Wynn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinii Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 To me Byrd was fulfilling his dad's dreams and expectations more than his own. He was a ball hawk but was poor in tackling and run support. Never played with the passion of someone with something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Byrd should be concerned, this is the same coach speak Payton gave before cutting Spiller. I wonder if the plan is to shop him this offseason, with the intention of unloading him or possibly restructuring. I still think he has time left in the NFL somewhere, but probably at a lower cost.
