"He remains the starter at free safety, but he hasn't come close to living up to the expectations the team had for him when he signed a big contract in 2014. He looks like a completely different player than the one we saw in his early years in Buffalo. Injuries have limited him to 17 games in two seasons with the Saints, but when he's been on the field he hasn't played well. It's been a bad signing so far."


Fans on this board don't overrate him, but it's a national article and they're spot on about him.

You cant argue with that. He pretty much summed it up. Overpaid, hurt, and sucks when he isn't hurt.

And we traded up for his replacement.

I wouldn't say he's overrated because we literally expect nothing out of him at this point. And that's his production.

If the "healthy" Spiller has another bad year, then yeah I'd say he's in the running, but for now, Byrd def takes this crown.

Spiller doesnt perform this year... ditch him too !!!!

If Spiller is let go....it does raise RB in priority in the draft.... as now...I wouldn't draft one.

Because the5 0 million dollar deal they signed....has innate expectations built in.

He sucks !!!!

His production versus the money paid: OVER-RATED !!!!!

My friend, this board has needed someone like you on it for a long time. I really mean that.

Byrd watch 2014

It's amazing how much can change in a year or two. (Signing Byrd gives us the best secondary in the NFL and we'll never trade Jimmy Graham!)

I don't even think he's overrated. I think he's properly rated as a complete and total bust.

He may not be overrated at this point because we as fans don't expect much from him anymore, but the fact that he's on a 56 mil dollar contract made him overrated as hell at the time. I still remember the signing a couple years ago and most ppl were really excited.
