I hope the big announcement on wwl in a few seconds is that Drew signed an extension and we can keep Byrd.

We don't need a Brees restructure to keep Byrd.

We'd need a Brees restructure to cut Byrd.

See, this is where I am...

It's really gotten old with the will he? won't he?

Two plus seasons, cut bait and let the new blood play...

They at least want to be on the field...

You can't give players like Byrd guaranteed money...

I'm curious by what you mean by that? It's not like he doesn't want to play or that he purposely hid or got himself re-injured so he could collect a free check...

The problem is that you cannot sign or resign free agents without guaranteed money.

For an organization, it's always a dice roll when doling out the guaranteed cash to a proven player. But it's wishful thinking to believe that players who have previously proved their value will accept a "prove it" contract when hitting free agency.

So saying that Saints should not have signed Byrd is one thing. However, there is no way to sign the guy without the guaranteed money because he had already proven his value.
