Others think he is worth that. I have my doubts that we can't do fine with a substantially less costly option. Quite frankly, almost any reasonable amount spent will purchase an upgrade over last year's performance at the position.

I don't think the Redskins are going to end up a finalist on Byrd. He's going to be one of the three highest paid free agents, and I think the Redskins are going to intentionally stay away from that tier of contract.

They'll be in on Ward and Clemons at safety. Both will be costly, but cheaper than Byrd.
