Now take care of the CB slot in the draft and our defense is going to be stupidly good.

I think the game plan is to change our philosopy. Instead of prolific O, we transition to a Dominate D.

I hope so. It's better to invest more in defense. Our offense seems to mostly take care of itself with lower picks and undrafted free agents (Colston, Stills, PT, Moore, Ivory, Khiry) and I think that trend will continue because Loomis and Payton know how to pick 'em.

Wondering if we should just cut Jimmy for the opportunity to sign Revis ...

Re: Saints sign Byrd.............
 
With Byrd we also may not really need to draft a corner. Your base nickel could be a 3-safety look, with 2 starting corners and either Robinson or White in reserve.

The last Bills player we signed worked out pretty good. Welcome to the Saints, Jairus Byrd!

I had been saying we were going to sign someone big during FA. We didnt make all those moves just to sign Graham.

Anyone else get the feeling we're going to let Jimmy walk?

I love the move. Now it's time to find out in the coming weeks what it really cost us to sign byrd. Graham still needs to be signed and we still have the draft and practice squad players.

This reminds of when I was back in college (aka my broke days). I would enjoy going out for a good meal but I would be anxious once the meal was over because I new the check was coming at that point.

If we do, we can sign another big player and have nine draft picks.

But but but.... we don't have any money.

Don't be surprised if we make another power move this off season.

No, trade possibly. But not just let him walk.

No way dude, who will give their first round draft picks for this and next year? Let the front office do their job and things will smooth out. This is a process not a quick uneducated decision. Let Loomis and CO do work and watch the glory rise at the end.

I'm so happy we signed Byrd at the same time, I just want to bump every Graham thread and start slapping people.

Guys, I don't think Jimmy will be back next year. But if he is, what about Cam Jordan?

Cam Jordan is under contract. Once he finishes the season, we either franchise him or sign him to a long term extension. That's something we'll worry about next year.

This time next year when people are whining about how we're going to keep Jordan, just remember we didn't have money last and signed Lewis. We didn't have money this year and signed Byrd. One thing we know for certain, some way some how Mickey Loomis will get it done.

More reaction:

"The market for safeties was as hectic as any other position on Tuesday. Several of those teams mentioned above signed safeties of their own, with Donte Whitner, T.J. Ward, Antoine Bethea and Malcolm Jenkins among those landing deals.

Byrd was the last big piece to fall at the position. The Saints deserve massive amounts of credit for jumping to the front of the line.

Grade: A-minus. Yes, the contract is over the top. Promising any non-QB $28 million is borderline bonkers, and the Saints may live to regret that decision in a year or two. But in the immediate future, they’ll boast an incredible pairing at safety. The team that landed Byrd was going to have to jump into the deep end to do so. No one could have expected that team to be the Saints."

Re: New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
 
Who cares about the Falcons and their *cough* "fans". They are just bitter because their defense is a perennial joke and they are stuck with a loser like Matt Ryan. Steven Jackson is two years past relevance, no more Tony G, Shoddy past his prime and that leaves Julio to worry about. But with that laughable o-line it doesn't matter. Last year was no fluke Falcons fans. Expect it again. Their d-line signings today were respectable but nowhere near enough to fix that wreck. The guard is mediocre at best. Lots of work to do to even be relevant again. Enjoy 3rd or 4th.

Rob Ryan just got another Lamborghini to work with. He is salivating adding another exceptional defender. Byrd and Vaccaro will be quite the tandem for years to come. Payton will find talent on offense and make that a top 5 offense with ease. We needed defense and we are sure getting it.
