New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd

03-12-2014, 11:41 AM

It's nice to have scouts that aren't even on the Saints pay roll.
It's evident to any fan that pays a little attention to the NFL that Byrd is a great player but you just know that Rex shared his opinions with Rob about him as a player and as a person.
Rex also has a win/win situation here by getting Byrd out of his division and on to his brothers team.

All may not be what it seems. It could be sturctured like...

Year 1..salary 1 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 5.7 million

Year 2..salary 2 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 6.7 million

Year 3..salary 3 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 7.7 million

Year 4..salary 4 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 8.7 million

Year 5..salary 7 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 11.7 million

Year 6..salary 10 million + guaranteed 4.7 = 14.7 million

Care to guess when we ask him to restructure?

I know its likely not structured in that way, but you get the picture. Its more likely a 4 year contract at about 6 to 7 million/year, then restructure or cut in year 5

Look at mine in the other thread, there is a difference between Signing Bonus and guaranteed.

Signing Bonus = Upfront and prorated for the cap.

Guaranteed = He will be paid that over the life of the contract at minimum. It is distributed any way Loomis sees fit and not prorated on a schedule.

Lower cap/year hit

Exactly. We HAVE to find a way to get Rafael Bush on the field as much as possible. I honestly think Bush might be just as good as Vaccaro.

Can't believe I'm the first to post this - maybe this could replace that "get crunk" nonsense?

This is what I have

"I am going to make a SWAG attempt to look at what his contract will look like.

6 years - 54m / 11m signing bonus / 28m guaranteed
2014 1.83m SB / 3m - Cap Hit 4.83m
2015 1.83m SB / 4m - Cap Hit 5.83m
2016 1.83m SB / 4m - Cap Hit 5.83m
2017 1.83m SB / 6m - Cap Hit 7.83m
2018 1.83m SB / 12m - Cap Hit 13.83m
2019 1.83m SB / 14m - Cap Hit 15.83m

At the end of 2017 he has been paid all of his 28m Guaranteed
In 2018 he is cut and we will have a dead money of 3.66m

This is just a basic view and does not cover the bonuses for roster, work out etc..."

that's for sure the best news i've got today! the BYRDMAN wears black & gold for the next 6 years...unbelievable!

graham's contract situation is now something for mulder and scully! x-files revival!

with the signing of byrd, i think the saints should go after a no. 1 wide receiver in the upcoming draft and of course for an athletic and speedy linebacker.

still cannot believe the news....ryans D will level up immense with this signing.

looks like i have to book a flight soon from vienna (austria) to nola. wanna watch a game in the dome next season!

Other than a CB, this draft might be all offense.
