The 2016 Saints regular season will also be Year 3 of starting free safety Jairus Byrd’s huge six year contract that Mickey Loomis and the Saints gave him on March 11th, 2014.

That contract of course was for $56 million dollars, $28 million of it (as Saints fans will quickly remind you) which is guaranteed.

However, with the selection of All-American and Ohio State safety Vonn Bell — whom the Saints made a Day 2 trade with the New England Patriots to move up to get — the Saints appear to have sent Byrd a not-so-subtle message: it’s time you give us some return on our investment.
