Justafan Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 (edited) Honestly, if they're going to cut Byard, they should just go ahead and have a fire sale. Hit the reset, tank the season. Go all in on QB for next year and give Willis the worst season in NFL history to win us his replacement. They won't do that... but I think they should.

Popular Post SirLanceALot Posted March 17 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17 Fuck releasing him. If he wants to be cut, try to trade him to get something out of him atleast and let him renegotiate a deal with his new team.

I like Byard but his impact on wins and losses is not huge....and if he's demanding an extension and about to turn 30, I'd rather some other team do that. oldschool, Justafan, charleytolar, and 4 others 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charleytolar Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Didn't the Bengals just lose both of their safeties in FA? I heard they have an extra WR... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ToneTerror Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Love the guy..:but we do have way too much $$ tied up on the safety position. That’s really Robinson’s fault, not Byard. the reality? If they traded Byard and replaced him with a decent, younger FA…there would not be much drop off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different regimes/decision makers. But not extending a 30 year old S is hardly a stupid thing. Giving him a third contract at top of the market prices would be the stupid thing. I'd rather see them keep the contract as is but he'll be gone next year IMO. Bluth 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see a headline (and haven't yet watched the video it linked to) but Rosenthal did say he expected Tannehill to already be traded and that it could still happen. I imagine the video proves to be all generic baseless speculation, however. Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jamalisms Posted March 17 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17 Frankly, I side with Byard here. His play hasn't fallen (my opinion) from when he signed the contract so his pay shouldn't. If he was falling off, that's another story. That's distinct from what's ideal for the cap and for team building, though ... so I see the team perspective as well.

This is fair and it's more than possible they just keep things as is but it's inevitable that next year will be an issue and he'll be one year older then. His agent, Mulugehta, is pretty aggressive. Now may be the best time to get Byard a third contract with any value to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with both sides too From Byards perspective, he's coming off a really good year, he's only 29 and lesser players like Jessie Bates just signed a massive contract. His money isn't ridiculous compared to his peers But for the Titans, they're a a couple years away from competing, they'll have growing pains with a young QB and if Byard wants another big contract it's smart to walk away Mythos27 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
