Rumor is 1.5 to 2 million.

Instead of Quddus and Bush replacing Jenkins and Harper we have Byrd and Vaccaro. I'll take it

Harper and Jenkins took more criticism than they deserved but wow, Vaccaro/Byrd is a pretty good upgrade at the position.

Let's just hope that Byrd plays to his contract and not looking for just the big pay-day

The rumor over at the evil empire is 2.2 million/season.

Thsts tough because we really can't afford it but its probably close to his market value.

Thats what happens when you over-pay too many players, you eventually lose a couple good ones to other teams.

Oh well, we'll survive. Its nowhere near as bad as losing Nicks to the Bucs.

Of course, we may be in the process of restructuring several players (cough***Bunkley***cough) so we might just match their stupid puny desperate grasp at NFC relevance.

Looking back, anyone think we were we really trying to keep him? We tender him low end with no comp, and below his market value

$2 mill might be too much for a backup safety this year, but could we have kept him at 1.7 or so?
