New Orleans Saints agree to terms with safety Jairus Byrd
The New Orleans Saints made a huge, unexpected splash in free agency as the team agreed to terms with prized safety Jairus Byrd on a six-year contract, the team announced Tuesday night. The deal is worth a maximum of $54 million, including $28 million guaranteed, according to ESPN.
The Byrd deal came on the heels of former Saints starting safety Malcolm Jenkins agreeing to a three-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday afternoon. Jenkins said the Saints never made him an offer forcing him to look for a contract elsewhere, and it looks like the Saints had loftier plans of landing one of the top overall free agents on the market. The Saints weren't in a position to spent megabucks on a free agent as they're about $2 million under the salary cap before the Byrd deal. So the Saints will have to make significant salary maneuvering to make this deal work as Byrd secured the $9 million per season price tag he sought in free agency. read more New Orleans Saints @Saints · 1m The #Saints have agreed to terms with 3-time pro bowl safety @JairusByrd on a 6-year deal! pic.twitter.com/K0ZUvdq3hi Jairus Byrd: a detailed look at Pro Bowl safety's career |

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.
