New Orleans Saints FS Jairus Byrd (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Oct. 3, after suffering a torn lateral meniscus during practice Thursday, Oct. 2. Byrd (knee) underwent surgery Friday, and said it will require extra rehab because it's a 'bucket-handle tear.' Byrd's surgery was a success and a full recovery is expected, according to head coach Sean Payton. S Rafael Bush will replace Byrd in the starting lineup.

Huddle Up: The ball-hawking safety and prize free-agent acquisition (22 interceptions and 5 fumble recoveries in his first 5 seasons) is coming off offseason back surgery and it could even take a few regular-season games for the Pro Bowler to hit his full stride.

The New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, March 11 signed FS Jairus Byrd to a 6-year contract worth $54 million, with $28 million in guaranteed money, according to a source.
SOURCE: Not available
Huddle Up: As expected, Byrd struck it big in free agency, signing with the Saints, whose defense took big strides in 2013 after 2012's disaster. Byrd spent his first 5 NFL seasons in Buffalo, where he racked up the second-most interceptions (22) in the league during that span.

The Miami Dolphins have shown interest in free-agent FS Jairus Byrd
(Bills).

Huddle Up: Byrd, rated by many as the top FA safety available, is sure to
attract a lot of interest, and don't be surprised if all of the
Bills' AFC East rivals are at the top of the suitors' list.

The Buffalo Bills' contract talks with impending free-agent FS Jairus Byrd have been pleasant this offseason. The two sides did not have much success in contract talks last offseason.
SOURCE: Not available
Huddle Up: The seemingly annual contract negotiations between Byrd and the Bills are in full swing, but the FS is worth the hassle as only CB Asante Samuel has more interceptions (25) over the past 5 seasons than Byrd's 22.

Buffalo Bills FS Jairus Byrd (feet) said he is not sure when he will be able to return from the plantar fasciitis in both of his feet.
SOURCE: Not available
Huddle Up: Plantar fascitis in one foot is bad enough, but two? This is a pain management issue that doesn't sound like it will go away anytime soon. The Bills defense performed remarkably well against the vaunted Patriots without him, though. Can they keep it up?

him before the NFL trade deadline.
SOURCE: Not available
Huddle Up: Between the apparently lingering contention over Byrd's contract
situation and his lingering plantar fasciitis injury, this situation
is a mess, and don't be surprised if the playmaking safety's next
game is played wearing a new uniform.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills FS Jairus Byrd signed his 1-year franchise tender Tuesday, Aug. 20. According to a source, Byrd will report to the team Thursday, Aug. 22.
SOURCE: Not available
Huddle Up: So Byrd will be a Bill -- at least for this season -- and that's a good thing for Buffalo and IDP GMs as he ranks third in the NFL with 18 interceptions over the past 4 seasons.
