Byrd has a knee

Do birds even have knees?

Isn't it just little legs without the bend?

I ain't a hen. I'm straight out da coop. Sometimes I's gets backed up & I gots to poop.

Too bad, he's here for another year unless its a june1 cut
10.9mil cap hit
Cut: lose 500k, 11.4mil dead money
June 1 cut: 7.4mil gained, 3.5mil dead money

It should have been me!

0-2 on prematurely balding safeties.

I played safety in junior high.

Brees is the greatest free agent signing in the history of the NFL. But dayum, after him it has all downhill.

Byrd's injuries have made him a "bust", but I really think that he's played well on the field. The problem is, he's being horribly misused. Byrd needs to be unleashed. Let him follow his instincts and force turnovers. He's a capable center fielder, but he needs to play somewhat closer to the line of scrimmage.

Seriously, he was one of the top 2 or 3 safeties in the NFL for ~5 years. He didn't forget how to play football, and his effort has been there. He's done a great job tackling when he has the opportunity. The defensive coordinator needs to put him in the position to succeed and get some INTs.

He gone....often injured in Buffalo, and injured more here.

The problem with Byrd isn't mental, it's physical. He was never the most athletic guy on the planet, but he had Earl Thomas instincts. With the knee troubles sapping him of say 10 percent, he's just not athletic enough to do what he used to in Buffalo.
