The Buffalo Bills were trying to lock up Jairus Byrd to a long-term deal, but the talks have stalled so they’ve chosen to use their franchise tag on the 26-year-old defender keeping the talented safety in-house. Byrd  arguably  is the most talented player in their secondary. Byrd was targeted 21 times last season and pulled down five interceptions without allowing a touchdown.

While I’m sure both Buffalo and Byrd would like to get a long term deal finish ASAP,  $6.9 million tag placed on Byrd will keep him in Buffalo another season

Elway, vice president of football operations, said that using the tag doesn’t mean the team isn’t looking for a longer arrangement with Clady.

There were reports after the end of the Broncos season that Clady’s shoulder surgery made the tag more likely as the Broncos wanted to buy themselves some time to assess his condition before entering into a long-term contract.

Clady would $9.66 million in 2013 if the two sides can’t agree on a long term deal.
