Got to agree. I wouldn't mind another monster to go along with Rankins and Davidson. I think we resign Fairley, he's been decent enough to keep. I don't think Jenkins stays.

Fairley has been decent? That's funny.

And are you referring to John Jenkins? He was released over a month ago.

I dropped the ball on Jenkins. Fairley started off on fire the first 5 games and cooled off until we played Tampa, maybe I'm reading the wrong stats.

he is making calls but if he is take over the single high safety he needs step up his game more. So far he is best in the slot CB roll. of the line reading and reacting. time will tell and he has to be given a chance just like anthony does.

school of hard knocks.

Re: The 2017 Byrd quandary

For those who believe in stats from PFF's, Byrd had top defensive grades this week. The dynamic we have with the 3 safeties is working pretty well and we'd be remiss to not try to keep that together next year.

We've had other guys take pay cuts in the past, so it shouldn't be out of the question here.

From a financial and on the field standpoint, it benefits everyone to keep him, work out a pay restructure (he'd probably still make more here than if he hit the open market, so we have leverage), and keep him another year. Then, in 2018 possibly cut him loose .

In my opinion, the current safety position is a strength on this team.

What is the quandry? send his ass packing. throw a jug of milk back there, it would be more effective.

Restructure and keep him. He finally looks healthy and could be a solid contributor next year.

If he doesn't want to restructure, then adios muchacho!
