Panthers sign S Jairus Byrd

[Dex]

Saints don't know how to coach defensive players. I have a good feeling about this signing.

Oh yeah, eat a fat  Hurney.

Damiere Byrd is heading to IR, so now we only have 4 WRs on roster.

Might mean we start using CMC in the slot

Tbf Malcom Jenkins became an all pro when he left no

wtf i love hurney now

I like this, vet stop-gap till Kurt is ready to come back... won't judge Byrd based on his performance in the Saints defense, the lack of consistent pass rush can make any DB look bad. We need to look no further than Roman Harper's performance here vs. his performance in N.O. the season before that, looked like he was washed up too...

Why would anyone be upset about this signing unless we gave him a ridiculous contract? We were one tweeked knee away from putting Shaq at safety on Sunday.

Literally Hurney magic

I like the signing. However, you have to wonder why he was unemployed 5 weeks into the season...

God he was terrible with the Saints

Byrd was pretty good at the end of last season. Our scheme certainly doesn't require an extraordinary amount from our safeties. I like it. Could be like the Jared Allen signing a couple of years ago. No one is expecting an all Pro back there, but having a veteran who has played at a high level in the recent past is a good signing all things considered.

Slow washed up vet safety.. I don’t see why this wasn’t done in the offseason/preseason lol

 

good pick up tho.. he’ll want redemption against the saints..
