DA has figured out something (3 safety sets). It's more beneficial to keep him (work out a restructure), and keep him another year. Under the circumstances I think DA has done a good job of putting players in position to make plays. Maybe this off season the FO adds another corner back so only another player is having to learn the system, then double down on the three safety set & also add a top tier pass rusher. It's pretty clear he was injured and was playing on a bad ... historically bad defense ever a year or so ago. Now that we are decent, so is Byrd. I don't think this is coincidence. Cutting him in 2017 doesn't make sense but 2018 does. No way I'd let Byrd walk over 3.5M or so. Hindsight is 20/20 but I hate the contract ... not the player. |

Gotta look at the whole tenure, injuries and all...He was not available for most of the time he's been here...Payton was even frustrated, questioning it last season... And Kenny V, a player with less time in the league, had to finally call him out... Walks like duck, quacks like a duck...they're better safeties available for less... And if the secondary looked better, it was because we finally had a pass rush and a MIKE that could cover... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Jairus Byrd - playing like he might not want a pay cut
I'm pretty ready to get rid of Byrd myself. However, I don't know if you guys have noticed or not but Vonn Bell has been downright awful in deep zone coverage. He's been way better in more of a strong safety role.

Re: Jairus Byrd - playing like he might not want a pay cut
Hilarious! Byrd needs to be thrown out with the trash cause thats how he has played since he has been here.
Guy plays half decent for two games and now he is a keeper.... unreal. |

Better be certain you have a viable, capable FS to take over if Byrd departs next season. |

Just this year announcers were criticizing him for being a complete liability. This is the exact same situation as Browner, the only difference is the team crapped the bed worse with the contract. |
