"Byrd spent his first five seasons with the Buffalo Bills. In those five seasons, he registered 22 interceptions and forced 11 fumbles. He had a knack for creating turnovers and making game-changing plays."

went to the Saints for big money, got injured, then benched, but then...

"However, Byrd looked like his old self towards the end of the season. In fact, Payton said this: "I'd say in the last six weeks, he's played as good of football as we've seen now, and that's encouraging."

 

 

He would have made 8 mill this year, so they let him go.

    • That's a tiny bit of revisionist history there. The OL was definitely viewed as one of the stronger units going into the season, but then we saw different offenses that leaned heavily on a zone scheme rather than the power game that the line had excelled at under Wilks. Sanders was seen as somebody that could perform so long as he had a strong OL like he did in PHI. The assumptions about him were based on the OL, which then was decimated by injuries over the course of the season. Nobody loved the Chark addition. I might have been one of the fans that was higher on him and even I was hesitant to anoint him as the X. AT was applauded though (and rightfully so). Bryce got asked to uplift all of that as a rookie, then was excoriated by the Stroud Boys on here that really wanted us to believe that DJ Chark was better than Nico Collins and Tank Dell.   (Counting down until the usual suspects get butthurt about that last paragraph... :p)
