Thank god the skins didn't sign him. The saints will probably be better without him.

People here were going crazy when we didn't sign Byrd.

And we wonder why the professionals tune our voices out. :)

Jairus Byrd suffers season-ending knee injury | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/10/03/jairus-byrd-suffers-season-ending-knee-injury/)

Through four 2014 games, Pro Football Focus has graded Byrd 65th of 76 qualifying safeties. (Kenny Vaccaro, his Saints safety mate, is ranked dead last in PFF’s ratings.) And appearing on the Ross Tucker Football Podcast earlier this week, NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell opined that Byrd might be “playing the worst” of any safety in the NFL this season, pointing to missed tackles as a big problem for the ex-Bill.


Worse than Merrieweather? wow, now that is terrible

I guess the reports of his eradicate driving were true. Thankfully this idiot didn't kill anybody else along with him.

Yup. Sad, but didn't his wife yap to the press that she didn't have a clue about what possibly was going on? You have to drink for awhile to be that impaired.

Dodged a huge bullet with this. I bet there are a lot of quiet Skins fans that were chirping back then because we didn't pick him up.
