According to Omar Kelly, NFL beat writer and columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Eagles should have interest in safety Jairus Byrd, given the team's ample amount of cap space, need at the position and mutual familiarity between he and Chip Kelly from their days at Oregon.
Omar Kelly feels it will take at least $20 million in guaranteed money to sign the 27-year old Byrd, who has 22 interceptions and 11 forced fumbles in his five-season career and is universally considered one of the league's best safeties.
