The big question on the Jairus Byrd front - now that he and the Buffalo Bills
have missed a deadline to sign a long-term contract extension this
season - is whether or not he'll continue to miss team practices into
training camp. Right now, the predominant theory is that agent Eugene
Parker will indeed advise Byrd to skip training camp in an effort to
leverage the Bills - who would clearly like Byrd in camp as soon as
possible - into offering a one-year deal with a no-tag clause (or
perhaps even just more money).
Tim Graham of The Buffalo News sums up the most popular guess as to
how long Byrd might sit out. Long story short: this could look an awful
lot like what Jason Peters
did (on Parker's advice) in 2008, with the obvious difference being
that Peters was under contract, while Byrd currently is not.
