The Bills and free agent FS Jairus Byrd plan to open long-term contract talks within the next week at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The Combine is an annual meeting place for GMs and player agents. According to a person familiar with the situation, Byrd and Buffalo have not yet started negotiations, and this will be the first time the two sides meet to have a formal discussion. Byrd has been to two Pro Bowls, and he will certainly be back in Buffalo in 2013, whether it's with a new deal or under the franchise tag.
