PITTSFORD, N. Matt Jones Redskins Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Bills arent giving up on re-signing star safety Jairus Byrd to a long-term contract. Team president Russ Brandon told the Associated Press on Monday that its his intention to take another run at reaching a multiyear deal with Byrd next off-season despite a failure to secure one this year. Brandon called the prospects of re-signing Byrd as being "absolutely" realistic even though negotiations with the two-time Pro Bowl player have reached a stalemate. "Obviously, our goal was to have that done by July 15. We didnt meet that goal," Brandon said, referring to an NFL-imposed deadline that passed to reach a multiyear deal. "But well pull up our boot straps, and as soon as we can start on that again, we will." Under league rules, re-opening talks on a long-term deal will have to wait until this seasons over. The more pressing concern is when -- or if -- Byrd intends to report to the Bills this year. Byrd remains unsigned because he has yet to accept the one-year, $6.9 million offer the Bills in designating him their franchise player in March. The Bills applied the designation to retain Byrds rights and prevent the fourth-year player from becoming an unrestricted free agent. Byrd would once again be eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in March, and the Bills would once again have the option to apply the franchise tag. Brandon provided few updates on Byrds status with the Bills into their second week of training camp in suburban Rochester. He said the two sides have "open lines of communication," but didnt know the last time Jim Overdorf, the teams chief negotiator, last spoke with Byrds agent, Eugene Parker. And Brandon couldnt predict when Byrd might finally report. "I hope he walks in in 10 minutes," Brandon said. "Our goal is to have Jairus back in camp. We cant wait for him to get here. Well welcome him with open arms." Parker has declined comment on the status of talks and when he expects Byrd to report to the team. Brandon said there is "absolutely zero contention" between the two sides, and noted that both are simply exercising their rights under league rules. As for the failure to reach a long-term deal this off-season, Brandon characterized it as "two sides not completely on the same page for where we wanted to be by July 15."

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Staring at a seven-run deficit with Seattles Felix Hernandez on the mound Thursday night, the Los Angeles Angels could have been excused for starting to think about the weekend. Instead, the Angels chipped, scrapped, surged, charged -- and eventually eked out a stunning victory. Alberto Callaspo drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home the tiebreaking run with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Angels rallied from that huge early deficit for a 10-9 victory over the Mariners. Mike Trout matched his season high with four hits for the Angels, who trailed 8-1 after four innings. Peter Bourjos homered and had three hits, and he scored the tying run in the eighth during Los Angeles final rally for its sixth win in eight games. Nearly everybody in the Angels lineup contributed to their monumental comeback, the second-largest in club history. After three months of mostly discouraging play, Los Angeles is on a decent roll -- but nobody expects a rally like this one. "Its a great effort from our club," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Youre very rarely going to get down that much to a pitcher of Felixs calibre and come back. Our guys just did a great job. You just couldnt piece it together any better than they did." All of the good feelings in Los Angeles clubhouse were matched by the gloom in Seattle, which dropped three of four in the series. Kyle Seager matched his career high with four hits and drove in the tiebreaking run in the eighth during a gut-wrenching loss for the Mariners, who couldnt protect a huge lead even with Hernandez on the mound. "Tonight was exciting, just going back and forth the whole night," Trout said. "We got down seven (runs) early, and we just kept scratching out runs. We were just having fun. The excitement is there. Were all into the game." Mark Trumbo hit a three-run homer while the Angels tied a single-game club record with seven consecutive hits during a five-run fifth inning. Albert Pujols had two hits and drove in the tying run on a broken-bat single in the sixth. "I just blew the lead," said Hernandez, who yielded 12 hits and seven runs in five innings. "Its all my fault. Nobody else. Just me. Theres no excuses. Actually, my fastball was fine, but I left the pitches up a little bit. They were being aggressive, and they scored some runs. There were a lot of broken-bat base hits, but it was my fault. But Im not thinking about it." Seager had a homer and two doubles during the first four-hit game by a Seattle plaayer this season. Adam Hayward Redskins Jersey. Josh Hamilton couldnt catch his sinking liner to right in the eighth, and Brendan Ryan scored to put Seattle up 9-8. But Bourjos singled, stole second, advanced on a throwing error and tied it on Erick Aybars RBI single off Carter Capps (2-2). Seattle walked Trumbo to load the bases with one out, and Ryan made a diving stop to force out Trout at the plate before Yoervis Medina walked Callaspo on four pitches. "Its a tough game from an emotional standpoint," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "You take that big lead and do a lot of good things, and then you give it back. I was proud that we fought back and scored a run and took the lead back, but they fought right back, too. Thats why you play for nine innings, man. The bullpen just didnt quite get it done. Obviously, we had to go to them early." Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his 17th save. Scott Downs (1-2) gave up Seagers double, but also got one out in the eighth. Tommy Hanson yielded six hits and seven runs during the second-shortest start of his career, getting chased by Seattle without getting an out in the third. But Hernandez couldnt finish despite having a 3-0 lead before he took the mound and an 8-1 advantage in the third. Trout had three hits off King Felix, improving to 14 for 30 in his short career against Seattles star right-hander. "Every now and again, you see that he is human," Wedge said. "He was king of all over the place tonight." The Angels trailed 8-2 when Bourjos led off the fifth with his third homer of the season. The speedy outfielder hadnt homered since April 15 after missing 38 games with a hamstring injury. The next six Angels also got hits, with Pujols driving in a run before Trumbo cleared the bases with a homer off the fake rock pile in centre field. Danny Farquhar intentionally walked Trout in the sixth to get to Pujols, who poked a broken-bat single into centre to score Bourjos with the tying run. NOTES: Despite making a sharp running catch at the wall in the ninth inning, Hamilton had yet another miserable game, going 0 for 4 with an RBI in the $125 million sluggers second game in the No. 7 slot in manager Mike Scioscias order. He grounded into yet another double play in the seventh inning, and struck out with the bases loaded to end the eighth. ... The Angels set the club record with seven consecutive hits Aug. 31, 2002 against Baltimore. ... Angels RHP Dane De La Rosa had four strikeouts in two innings of one-hit relief.
