You are all mixed up. Ward was the "big name" THIS offseason. He hasn't played a meaningful game for Denver yet, so we have no idea if he's a long-term solution for Denver. I personally think he's overrated. Decent player on a bad team. I think he'll get exposed in coverage.
EDIT: I see somebody else has already called you out on this BS.
Everybody knew TT wouldn't pay top price for Byrd. Ward was the cheaper alternative that people wanted.
