Thanks for the reply but it's madame not dude.

Best comment on the clowns site

Ya, with that impressive O-Line protecting Ryan to pick apart one of the better safety tandems in the league. We've been beating on the Saints for years.


Is he talking about playing on a xbox as i could have sworn since 2006 our record was 13-3

Increasing cap,older vets on the roster.
Looks like the plan is too win now and pay the cost during the transition from QBs

Re: New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
 
With the new rookie contracts, the teams have the options of giving them a 5th year of their rookie contract. I would be surprised if Mickey Loomis doesn't exercise this option to keep Cam on the rookie contract just one more year.

TwistedTiger 03-11-2014 11:18 PM

Re: New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
 
Byrd? Didn't see that one coming. Great pickup if Loomis can find the cap room to stay solid at other positions.

Yeah. We might be in for a rough few years when Brees retires, but if we can pull in another SB before then it just might become worth it. :bng:..

Vaccaro/Byrd/Bush/Lewis/Robinson? Our secondary just got real scary for opposing QBs...

Maybe not that bad

If Drew is replaced in the draft the QB will be under the rookie pay scale and will not be earning big money so the savings on Brees will be used to pay others.

I think the rules under retirement also help out the cap...

Irk, but I bet if he reads between the lines he will be able to see that the Saints aren't going to over spend for him. They just spent some of his money for a very good player.

Saints sign S Jairus Byrd (6 years, $54M; $28M guaranteed): C+ Grade
When it was announced that Jairus Byrd inked a 6-year deal, I wondered what the value of his contract would be. I thought that a pact worth $45 million with $22 million guaranteed would earn the Saints a B+ or maybe a B. I was not expecting $54 and $28 million, respectively.

Byrd is one of the top free agents on the market, but this is too much money for a non-quarterback and non-pass-rusher, especially for a team as strapped for cash as New Orleans. Having said that, Byrd is going from a reeling franchise to a perennial Super Bowl contender, so unlike the free agents who defect for inferior squads, he could be motivated, even in the wake of signing an extremely lucrative contract.
Walter Football's take on the signing...

Re: New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
 
I'm still in giddy disbelief over this whole thing. If it pans out then you can put this one up there alongside the acquisitions of Brees and Sproles in terms of the dynamic elements each brought to the team. And the fact that we're pairing an All-pro in his prime with the quickly developing monster that is Kenny V is just over the top.

I've come to expect things like this to happen every few years on offense under Payton. He will always have his toy(s).. but to finally have our prayers starting to be answered on defense is almost too much joy for my heart to take.. almost. What a day to be a Saints fan :bng:

Byrd and Graham Pairing Worth All of the Cuts Saints Had to Make | Bleacher Report

All of the cuts, and names that still might be gone are worth to get someone like this on the squad.....

Interesting but not surprising.

Re: New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
 
Its definitely going to be a case of pass over the middle at your peril next year.
I wouldn't fancy running or receiving through the middle either with Bush and Vaccaro looking to knock you into next week and Byrd picking off any errant passes.If Lewis can hold down his corner as well as he did last year it doesnt leave many options, especially if tbe front 7 ger as much pressure as they did.


Looking like a really interesting season ahead. More power running which you keep teams on there toes.

Byrd is Rob Ryan's bonus for yielding a 4th ranked D last season. Good job Rob....you earned it! Now we expect a #1 ranked D this year:)
