Restructure for Byrd?
The Saints could restructure FS Jairus Byrd’s contract.
Byrd’s $6 million salary is fully guaranteed, but the Saints might look to reduce his $10.9 million cap hit. It would be the second straight year Byrd's contract was reworked after he converted his roster bonus into a signing bonus last season. Byrd has played in just 17 games the past two years.

Re: Restructure for Byrd?
I don't think we touch that contract again so next year it will be easy to make a decision on Byrd. Only 3,4mil dead money in 2017. Either he performs like one of the elite safeties or he is gone. I won't be surprised if we draft safety this year in first 2-3 rounds...

Re: Restructure for Byrd?
More cap space is cool and all, but I'd rather cut him after this season with less dead money.

Re: Restructure for Byrd?
If healthy, he's better than anyone else on the Saints roster at the position or in the draft. I keep having hopes for Sunseri. But, he can't stay healthy either.

Just pathetic |
