Bills FS Jairus Byrd remains unsigned. Former agent Joel Corry took a look at the situation and why there has been so little progress in getting a deal done. It isn’t just money. Byrd could also be focused on clauses.
The two-time All-Pro could be insisting on a clause that would prohibit the Bills from using a franchise or transition designation on him in 2014 (i.e.; a prohibition clause) or a larger one-year salary than his franchise tender in order to end the contract dispute. Minimizing risk of injury during the preseason, especially in light of the rash of serious injuries that have occurred since camps opened, may be enough justification to Byrd for his absence aside from any legitimate negotiating purpose.
I don’t think he’s getting traded any time soon, but until he signs a deal there is always the possibility of something happening, even if it is a longshot.
i would definitely give up a 2nd for him and maybe a 4th? think he’s a stud and i don’t believe in nate allen at all
