Justafan Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 Byard isn't that good anymore. He had a massive drop off. So many good young Safeties available, he might get a reduced contract with someone but it won't be the Titans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted March 1, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 Only thing that gives me a brief pause with Byard is that Steve Jackson was his first position coach for his first two years. I don’t think a reunion is at all likely, but can’t totally rule it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That open field missed tackle on the long Tampa TD was brutal. He had lead in his cleats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanskick8851 Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 The way you know Byard is done is they inserted K'Von Wallace, Molden, and Terrell Edmunds and they were no worse off with them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 He might take a friendly deal just to be back in Nashville. Did his family move with him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The continued talk about building for long term success and needing to be disciplined when spending. I get the idea ran probably wants to go into the season with around 35-40 mill or so and have significant rollover to next year's cap. Was about to post something like this. The 3-4 years you have to spend 90% of your cap thing just reset this year. So we can spend as little as we want and roll it all over. Not saying they will but would make sense if they don't love this FA class and don't expect to be back in the thick of it till 2025 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 I think Byard is completely cooked. He relied on his speed and intelligence to break up passes and get picks. He lost that speed. It’s weird how he’s fallen off a cliff so fast but the McCourty bros were able to keep going another 3 or 4 years after they lost a step. I guess guys who come in as corners into the league and do well are probably just a lot more athletic than most safeties… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't playing good here but he wasn't terrible like he was for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't playing good here but he wasn't terrible like he was for them. He was pretty bad here, and also playing more of a SS role. Didn’t watch him much for Philly but if they made him go back to being a center fielder/FS, he probably just didn’t have the speed to make up space like he used to. Id rather have Edmonds back for cheap honestly, unless Byard is cool being back for the vet minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more of a question than a statement about his use there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lost that speed. I don't want him back period. There are more S on the market than the demand from teams needing them. The Titans need to sign one under 30 who can still run and has range. So no old guys . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaming_thumbtack Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 With Callahan, Becton is somewhat intriguing. Depending on the price, it really wouldn't hurt especially considering how much cap space we have. It's a little similar to the Dillard signing but more defendable in that Becton's main issue has been health, not being benched multiple times under the tutelage of the best OLine coach in the league in Stoutland. Very likely that he would get injured or play likely ass, but for a reasonable enough contract, it's worth a dart throw IMO considering the upside is a long-term answer at OT.

Starkiller Posted March 1, 2024 Report Share Posted March 1, 2024 There’s no reason to bring back Byard, even if he could still be a halfway decent S. They need a youth movement. Don’t waste resources on guys at the end of their careers (unless it’s to benefit Levis' development). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
