Simple way to get him. Cut Moore. Cut Patterson. Frees up an extra $10 million. Boom. Got him. If Hickey is cool with paying a backup who came in for one game and sucked $5 million instead of going after the best safety in FA. I'd love to keep Patterson too if he's healthy. My main point: Cut Moore or make him take a pay cut. We'd still have $16 million left, including the draft and Albert at about 8 million a year. Can make 2/3 big splashes this year.

Agreed. RT has proven he can and will stay healthy. This also proved Moore is expendable. Cut his pay to no more than 2M or cut him completely.

We should go after him with a contract slightly better than the one Hickey signed Dashon Goldson to in Tampa Bay, 5 years $42.5M, $18M guaranteed. That would still leave us over $22M to get a DT and rebuild our OL. Sign Eugene Monroe, Zane Beadles and Linval Joseph and let's get to the draft.

"$22 million to sign Sign Eugene Monroe, Zane Beadles and Linval Joseph and let's get to the draft."

Then we still have to allocate $5 million or so for draft picks and have a few million
available during the season for various moves.
 
I'm all for us getting Byrd. If that means cutting Moore and Patterson to free up the money to do so, well bye bye Matt&Dimitri.

Jairus Byrd says he's still talking to the Bills http://wp.me/p14QSB-9qof


“The door is not closed on anything. I’m not closing the door on any opportunities at all. The lines of communication are still open,” Byrd told ESPN.com. “I’ve talked to [CEO] Russ [Brandon] and [general manager] Doug [Whaley] a couple days ago. We’re talking. So it’s not anything that’s hard feelings or anything like that. The conversations that we’ve had, we know what’s going on. We’re all on the same page. We’ll go from here.”

Byrd suggested that a report saying he turned down a three-year, $30 million contract from the Bills was incorrect.“I don’t want to get into details, but I will say any time you have something where it’s a source, an unnamed source, and the full details of the situation aren’t revealed, you can’t really believe everything you hear,” Byrd said.

Hickey needs to utilize every last drop of FL having no tax. We can offer players the same amount and they're still making more. The no taxes alone allows us to go after a few more players.

I'd love Byrd to go with Jones. If we can't get him, or Ward, we should keep Clemons. Also agree on cutting Moore, he looked bad in spot duty this year, and generally is overrated on this site.

He looked horrid behind the same line that got Tanny repeatedly crushed. Imagine that: A vet QB that looked terrible with the same tools that Tanny was expected to look great with.

SMH.

Moore is a better-than-average backup. But ask multiple Super-Bowl champ Eli Manning how easy it is to look good behind crappy lines.

I swear some people simply don't understand the game of football, on this site. More mediocre skill positions get puffed up than anywhere I've seen. And then ppl wonder why a young QB can't make chicken salad from chicken crap, lol.

I agree with some of the others. Cutting Moore and Patterson helps save us money to go land Byrd. Do what ya can to bring Byrd in.
