I see that. I really wish TT would of at least took a shot at Jackson.
Never mind. The colts over-paid him big time.

Not how it works. His salary is 2.5M + 12.5M/4. So his cap hit is $5.8M and change. The numbers are the cash paid out to him.They are saying 4 years 39mil 12.5 signing bonus.... I guess 15 mil year 1 then 6 Mil year 2 and 9 Mil year three.... I Wonder if they will even try signing any Safety through free agency....

Its huge signing Shields. Were set at corner now. With Hayward coming back and Hyde emerging. TT doesnt have to draft a corner with a top pick.
Shields is signed lets get Byrd

I'd still like to see a CB taken in the first 3 rounds. Shields' new deal is not front-loaded, so if he's not playing to the 10 mil a year he's getting, he'll probably have to restructure or be cut in 2 years. I don't think Rosenhaus is going to be keen on a restructure. Considering that and the fact that this is a deep draft at CB, I think we have to take one early still. If Dennard or Gilbert fall to us in the 1st, I'd be okay with that. Otherwise, we can use one of our 3rds on a CB.[/quote

We have Hayward, House, and Hyde. Why draft another corner with first round pick. Get one in mid-rounds. A develop type guy. We need a safety way more now then a corner and now that Shields is signed corner is not a "need now" position.
Question to those advocating spending huge $ to sign Byrd:
How many of you have seen any full Bills games?
Has anyone here watched him play even?
Yes, I can say I've seen a fair amount of Byrd. He's been an outstanding player on a very good defense. He's certainly in the All Pro ballpark. However, the Bills have a couple of other pretty decent safeties.Question to those advocating spending huge $ to sign Byrd:

For good or ill, Burnett's deal makes signing Byrd prohibitive. That much money can't be allocated to the safety position.
Look to the second tier FAs and the draft.
Burnett will play, like it or not. Too much has been committed. If he self-destructs it will be well into the season and damage control takes over.I understand what you're saying here but the position needs an overhaul regardless of what Burnett is making. IMO what he is making should have no bearing on who TT decides to sign. We need hell there bottom line and if Byrd brings that he should be an option. He could also help Burnett get back to a point where he will earn his deal.
They did make an offer to Byrd but he declined it...then they went and signed Williams.. I think the Packers signing Shields is huge. Signing Byrd would be nice but they are not breaking the bank on him. The Bills did everything they could to keep Byrd in Buffalo but I don't think he wanted to stay there. We will see what the Pack do in Free agency.

Now it's just a question of finding a decent running mate without breaking the bank. It looks like it's going to be Hyde, but it seems nobody wants to believe the coach.
I continue to maintain Burnett is not a free safety. Call it football smarts, instincts, an insufficiently quick mind...he should not be calling the signals. Relieved of those duties, he'll be a better player. Perhaps much better.

I think that mis-spins the situation in Buffalo.
The Bills made an offer. We don't know precisely how much it was for. Byrd rejected it. The Bills could have elected to go with a 2nd. franchise year or raise their offer (as we did with Shields)...they did not. So, it is certainly not the case "they did everything they could to keep Byrd."
Once they decided Byrd would not accept their best offer they extended Williams, not "went and signed him". He was already signed through 2014. Byrd's loss allowed them to lock in a valued player. Williams would not have been extended had Byrd signed because, to repeat, that much money can't be allocated to the safety position.
If we had a quality front 7 with young, cheap players along with the CB crew we have, then it would be something to consider.Why not have that running mate be Byrd though? If he can turn the position as a whole around and help get us to our ultimate goal then $ shouldnt stand in the way of that considering our situation in regards to cap space.
Collins would be 30 years old.So if Collins had never gotten hurt he would have been a free agent this year. If everything else stays the same Burnett still gets his deal and then what we don't resign Collins because you cant allocate that much $ to the safety position?
Well, Williams is in his contract year and neither Hayward nor Hyde look like island cover corners. I think McCarthy has made it pretty clear his preference is for Heyward at nickel and Hyde at safety which, coincidentally, makes a good deal of sense.Its huge signing Shields.
