TheeTKOBeatz Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 As of 3/5/2014Bills signed SS Aaron Williams to a four-year, $26 million extension through 2018.The deal includes $14.625 million guaranteed, comes with a $6.25 million signing bonus and makes him the eighth highest-paid safety in the league in terms of average annual salary. Williams, the 34th overall pick in 2011, struggled as a corner through his first two NFL seasons. But last year's change to safety worked wonders, as he started 14 games, grading out positively against both the run and pass while racking up 82 tackles, four interceptions, one forced fumble and 11 pass breakups. Free agent FS Jairus Byrd is a goner.http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/284141/bills-sign-s-aaron-williams-to-$26m-extension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hopefully Atlanta. Within reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tootie Quivers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hopefully Atlanta. Within reasonYou can forget that, I mean his contact will be unreasonable. That said, we will be players in the Jairus Byrd sweepstakes. Ultimately I think he will go to Philadelphia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheeTKOBeatz Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) the crazy part is just because his APY should be around 9-11 million that does not equate to his first year cap number which is commonly around half the APY;so firstly he could be had with a 2014 cap number around 5-6mil; backloaded a little bit so his latter years are a bit overpaid, and we could easily get him on a 5yr/55m contract which then would be THE top safety contract in history i believe...topping Eric Berry 5yr/50m.could look something like this (with limited research)5 years/55 million ; 11 million APYBase SignBonus Roster Bonus2m 3.5m 0.5m5.5m 3.5m 0.5m8.5m 3.5m 0.5m10m 3.5m10m 3.5m55 total20 guaranteed Edited March 6, 2014 by TheeTKOBeatz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tootie Quivers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'd bet dollars to doughnuts the board will erupt criticizing the team that gets him for over spending. Even if it's us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheeTKOBeatz Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 we could do this, sign a higher caliber DT in FSand draft 10 players, starting DT, DE, OG....then depthand still have 8-10mil leftover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Cleveland is gonna get him. Pettine and deeep pockets. Cleveland really wants Byrd.Have fun throwing on Byrd and Haden. Then they can draft a pass rusher like Mack to pair w Mingo. Would likely be a top 5 defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tootie Quivers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 1989-they might. They might through enough $ his way he cannot say no. However, if Atlanta or Philadelphia are close he won't go to Cleveland. Nobody wants to go to Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me@MyHouse Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I hope not ATL. My personal preference is to put more talent/$ closer to the LOS & sign another FS like Clemons, Jenkins, Bethea etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMT11 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Im not sure byrds only issue is money, bills probably offered him plenty, he just wants out and wants to win. But given that Eagles def can make case, but lots of teams have tons of cap this year we are not even in top 10 cap wise. long shot we get him, but I do think he will go to a team that wins a bit more than Bills or Cle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzard_falcon Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Interesting that no teams have been linked openly to Byrd yet. Maybe his agent's contract demands are just way too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun Tzu 7 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm just curious but how many here have watched extensive film of Byrd?I have the feeling that most have such a high opinion of him based on what they've read.I watched the Falcon/Bills all 22 and I don't think he's worth 9 million a year based on that game.He doesn't have elite speed which will limit what teams can do with him schematically.When he played the Falcons he was lined up 15 yards deep whenever he was the single high safety which took him out of the play most of the time.He might be good but if guys think you can put him in the middle of the field and he's got the range and speed to make plays all over the field they are going to be disappointed.
