Saints went out and paid Byrd, nice pickup, but they are over cap.
Verner in TB means that Revis is yet again on the market, cut, and going to the highest bidder. Oakland anyone? Heard they are in rebuilding year 12 of 20.
I cant recall a "best CB in the NFL" being bounced around like a $2 prostitute at the ripe age of 26. Its just where his $ to production and risk (injury avoidance) has jumped the shark.

NE couldn't use a better version of Danny Woodhead? If we can get him for a 5th/6th/7th, perfect, maybe even 4th if he restructures and adds a year or two to his deal.
Not sure how the Saints justify that Byrd deal. They'll be very good for a couple more years, but they would've been anyway with Brees/Payton. You just got rid of like 5 useful players to sign 1 very good one - not sure that's how to build a team in today's NFL.
TB got a great deal on Verner - "only" 6.5m/year, but it does completely undercut any value Revis had on the trade market. Just an embarrassing gamble on their part last year - sure could use Sheldon Richardson or Star Lotulelei on a rookie deal.
