loudnproudcolt Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 For those who did know, yesterday Buffalo signed their other Safety, Aaron Williams to a 26M extension. This is the highest extension yet given to anyone from the 2011 draft class. No numbers yet, but it will make him one of the highest paid safeties. No way Buffalo is going to pay both their safeties big money, so it looks like Byrd will definitely be landing somewhere besides Buffalo. I thought it was apparent he wanted out, but I think this news makes it official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iancolts Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well we got Jackson and I don't even think Byrd will even visit indy I don't see Grigs giving 10 mill for a safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well we got Jackson and I don't even think Byrd will even visit indy I don't see Grigs giving 10 mill for a safety He gave Landry a big deal, I wouldn't bet against Grigs spending on Byrd. I think 10 mil for Byrd would be 100% worth it. Whoever pays him will forget about the contract almost immediately. I wonder if he would take a little less to come to a winning team, he seemed to hate losing/the cold in Buffalo. Go get em Grigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COLTS449 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have a feeling we will sign Chris Clemons. I want Byrd, but we would have a lot of cash tied up in the secondary if we landed him. We need to start finding our own Byrd's and Thomas's in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarassedOffTheSite Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 the way im looking at it if they are interested in decker why not flip all that money to byrd fills a huge need IMO we aren't interested in Decker or Byrd. I don't see Grigson paying through the nose for players that aren't going have an on the field impact equal to their on the cap impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavanlan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Curious to know how a $26M extension for Williams means Byrd won't sign in Buffalo, but a $24M contract for Landry doesn't preclude Byrd from coming here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colts_Fan12 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I don't think that means what most people think that means.Yeah we want the D to do a 180 not a 360 (skateboarding fan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes perfect sense, when you really refuse to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iancolts Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Well grigson won't spend but to say decker or Byrd doesn't make an immiediate impact is a bit much. Both decker and Byrd will make offense and defense better instantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both decker and Byrd will make offense and defense better instantly.I agree, altho Byrd is much more of an impact player than Decker. I don't mind the idea of signing Decker, as our WR corps would be truly stacked next season. However, taking that $$$ and giving it to Byrd instead would be a wise move. His impact on our D would be felt immediately. I really hope we start hearing rumors of Indy & Byrd once FA starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post at #11 did not say that they "would not have immediate impact".It says that they "aren't going have an on the field impact equal to their on the cap impact". Not that deep.
