Royale with Cheese Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Return of Byrd? I honestly wouldn't mind that. He is still at least a solid zone safety...we will play a lot of Cover 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezertbill Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Saw this coming when looking over roster on spotrac yesterday. Savings trumps talent. Easy decision. Â Best of luck to him moving forward. But i have a feeling this means the Bills still have a big signing in store.

Mikie's Bills Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Would prefer Byrd over Webb if choosing between the 2. Webb is a little light to be a safety and doesn't have a lot of experience at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud420 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Â Why? Â Both actually played well last year. No. They didn't. Hyde was alright. Poyer played 6 games and is a special teams guy and backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Was thinking the same thing. Yeah, we were thin and are now thinner. That said, hard to argue his production was at the level he was being paid. He was a great nickel corner I thought when he first came here. The transition to safety under RYAN did not go well, although nothing really did. The secondary was poor last year, for a variety of reasons so some rebuilding was in order. Bill in NYC's head is going explode when we spend two of our first three picks on DBs but it seems that is where we are heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Cubed Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) Â Why should that matter? I think that's fairly obvious, if you have the opinion that the Bills are in trouble with Hyde and Poyer as the starting safety's, I'd think you'd have had to see them play.

nucci Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Rebuild on D but not on offense. Smh. because the D was the worst part of the team. That will get fixed first. Offense will get new players....try to relax a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibility we are getting ready to pay big for guys like Lorax, Zach Brown or a guy like Claiborne, but I really hope we aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is somewhat of a playmaker at times.  Please.  Tayshaun Gipson lead the NFL in INTs while playing for the Browns.  I have no idea why you think Hyde wasn't a good player at safety (or nickel for that matter). Here's a nice piece that a Ravens site put together on him:  http://www.baltimorebeatdown.com/2017/2/25/14715616/sleepers-on-the-2017-free-agent-market-micah-hyde-the-all-around-corner-ravens-packers  Good, solid player on the rise.

HappyDays Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Sometimes I wish the draft came before FA. A possibly elite safety could be sitting there at 10 but we won't know until it happens, so we're kind of stuck at that position right now.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I really think that we are going for Byrd. My guess is that they want the hubbub to quiet down and see the market, but I would want to see him return. Â I liked Graham, but he was always best as a #3 corner. The move to safety didn't really pan out, and he's on the wrong side of 30. With a year left on the deal and a load of cap space to free...this doesn't shock me.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) I saw Micah Hyde play a lot last year and the dude is emerging as a very fine player. He played all over the secondary and the rest of the Packers were backups because of injuries for the most part.
