Jarius Byrd would be an incredible signing

Imagine addressing OLB and DE in the draft and landing this ball hawk as our free agent signing, it would be amazing

I hope they try to pick him up because this guy is a real safety!

I'd be over the moon with DLP, Byrd, and Smith (but with a relatively short contract).

Bills have two must keep FA and they are:

BYRD and LEVITRE

one will get signed one will get tagged. so i am not teasing myself here

i am trying to stay positive bud but everything hinges on LT this year

I agree with that
I don't want us to have to reach for a LT.
How much would it cost to tag Bushrod for a year if need be?
If all else fails maybe tag him and push the boat out and trade up on Mathews next year.

Not really an option since the franchise tag for a non-exclusive OT is somewhere around $11M... only QBs have a higher tag than O-linemen.

There's absolutely no way the Saints can afford to tag Bushrod with the cap restrictions they are facing nor should they to be completely honest about it.
