Its amazing that top players want to play for us! I would love to have been a fly on the wall to hear the conversations that went on. There are other top teams that would have given him the same money with a chance to get a ring......why the Saints? Environment and coaching staff maybe?

Just watched an interview with byrd and he said that the reason he liked us immediatedly were the things that the coaches said - Rob Ryan will play him to his strengths like he does with all our defense, SP wants a turnover machine to give the ball back to the offense because we havent had one since 2009

Jairus also said he was swarmed by texts telling him how great of a DC rob ryan is, from retired vets to coaches to players still active - ultimately gave him a great feeling about our team

Interesting that the Broncos were going to pitch to Byrd. I guess RR talking to him was all he needed.

Hope he teaches Kenny not to tackle head first.

Easy decision... Do I want to be part of the 2013 4th ranked defense or the one that let Dallas put up 48 points?
Do i want to play in a dome or freez my azz off in thin air? I left Buffalo because it was freezin arse cold.

I wouldn't mind seeing Byrds former teammate Aurthor Moats come here also.

I believe the Falcons were wanting to meet with him too, or was that just the hopes and dreams of that fickle enemy fan-base?

The Byrdman of Poydras! I'm still in shock that this happened.
