Oregon Ducks In The NFL: Safety Jairus Byrd Cut By New Orleans Saints

Former Oregon Duck Jairus Byrd signed a 6-year deal with the Saints three years ago. He was a standout in Buffalo and was one of the top free agents in 2014. Fast forward and now he has seen the field in limited spurts as injuries have plagued the Saints Safety.

Sean Payton and the Saints decided it was better to cut Byrd three seasons into a six year contract which means they will likely go after a Safety in the NFL Draft. Jairus Byrd may have an opportunity waiting back in Buffalo.

SB Nation said that the first divorce was somewhat amicable and a reconciliation could be in the cards.
