Saints Will Release Jairus Byrd

halloween 65 · 03-01-2017, 09:33 AM

Pats will get him on the cheap and he'll be in the hunt for the Superbowl. He'll have 12 ints. this season and possibly a ring.

Regardless of if his body wasn't what it used to be, one thing I know for sure is this;

Byrd is not a single high safety, he was a ball hawk in Buffalo because they let him do what Ed Reed did in baltimore, roam the secondary and undercut crossing routes. Watch his Buffalo highlights, he plays 10-15 yards from the LOS.

Payton had him playing 25 yards downfield. It's not entirely Byrd's fault, he chased the money like an aging player would and Payton was dumb enough to pay someone 56 mil to use him entirely incorrectly.

It's always been Payton and so far this offseason Payton is acting like he's a power coach and a BB wannabe yet again.

I normally don't like when one poster bashes another, but this one is 100% justified.

I just want to add that Erik Harris was getting a lot of 1st team reps last offseason over Byrd and Bell. Yes I know he's coming off the ACL tear but I think this move has been in the works for a while.

I do recall that & his name came up quite a bit at camp prior to the injury. Hopefully Erik is 100%.

If the best player on the board at #11 is a safety, do you think we bite? I mean what are the chances that either Jamal Adams and/or Hooker fall to us? The comparisons I've read on these kids are Ed Reed/Darren Woodson type company.

A potential All Pro Safety for years to come in New Orleans? ... I can't wait for the draft.

Desmond King (converted to safety) in the 2nd round or Budda Baker in the 3rd are good options too.
