Not disagreeing with y'all assessment of the player, but where does he play?

How much do you commit in FA money to a fourth/fifth Safety?

Are you sure Byrd, Vaccaro is out the door? Just committed two draft picks for Bell as well?

FS (3) 31 - Jairus Byrd, 48 - Vonn Bell, 35 - Robenson Therezie

SS (3) 32 - Kenny Vaccaro, 30 - Erik Harris, 00 - Forrest Hightower

And don't forget you've got two other guys that have been looked at the safety position (27 - Damian Swann & 43 - Jimmy Pruitt)...

This is what the Saints FO save each year by making Byrd a June 1 cut:

2017:
Cap Hit: 11.7M
Dead Money: 3.4M
Cap Savings: 8.3M

Anyone with cap expertise, feel free to chime in with further information or clarification.

I understand, but how much will his market be?

How much of a learning curve will he require?

Where does he fit in among the safeties we have, even w/o Byrd?

For me, you get that elite guard to protect Brees and get that four yards and a cloud of dust component back for the offense and get that solid pass rusher opposite Cam; extend Willie the IV, Sterling Moore, then worry about saving at Safety...

I'm not a Byrd fan, but I'd rather use the cap room in those other areas first...

The Buccaneers have released CB Alterraun Verner, worth a look?

Alterraun Verner is a perfect example of the over inflated CB market value even at about 7 mill a year.

Biggest or smallest point is a 5'10" does not work well in the NFC south.

Verner hasn't impressed since his days as a Titan.

Pass.
