Byrd signs with Saints

[capitaleagle]

Man.

That fucking blows. Was holding out hope eagles could justify getting him since Jenkins can allegedly play either safety position.

What a letdown. I Expected more from a varsity letterman.

WTF?? The Saints have like $5 in cap space. How's that possible.

[Dan Drives a Van]

Got it. I thought they were cap-strapped. They're gonna have to unload even more veterans. Crazy.

[capitaleagle]

That's what I don't understand. Will be interesting to see details of deal. FWIW, he supposedly had some health concerns, so maybe that brought the price down. I really dunno.

Exactly. They were one of the WORST cash-strapped teams. I'm confused.

Unbelievable

@AdamSchefter: Saints are giving former Bills S Jairus Byrd a six-year, $54 million contract, including $28 million guaranteed, per source.

[Melchior]

Hope he's healthy. Damn. Vaccaro and Byrd.

Thank goodness Eagles didn't play ball. That's nuts.

Jimmy Graham must be pissed - this is not the type of shit I would want in our locker room. Glad we passed

Pretty much what the rumors said he would be asking for. That's a heck of a lot of guarantee though. Hope his foot problem isn't chronic. If so, he could be this year's Bbambi.

Bad wheels. Bad deal.
