I agree. But safety is a huge need, so we basically have 3 options: overpay Byrd and drastically improve our secondary, take a safety with our first pick in this years' draft and miss out on some good OL that will be available, or sign a stopgap in FA and hope Rambo, Thomas, Meriweather, and whoever else we have is good enough to get by. Berry makes 10.2 million a year, Polamulu makes 10.1, and Weddle makes 8.6. So I doubt Byrd would settle for much less than 10. And we have a lot of cap space, so I'm in favor of signing him.
