Tuesday marks an important date in the NFL’s offseason calendar.
The window for teams to use franchise or transition tags is now open. Teams can apply the tags at any point between now and 4 p.m. ET on March 8 and any player who receives a tag will be able to continue negotiating a long-term deal with their teams through July 15.

I don't think Poyer is a franchise tag candidate at $14.4 million.

[Woodman]

Payne is very likely to be tagged I'm reading.

I don't think Poyer is a franchise tag candidate at $14.4 million.

Seems pretty clear that the Bills are going to let Poyer test the open market.

Poyer is going to be disappointed when he finds out teams aren't going to back up the Brinks truck for him.

I bet he ends up re-signing a 2 year deal with the Bills for like 15 million guaranteed.

Hopefully not, it became pretty clear last year that Hyde is the glue to the defensive backfield not Poyer. We can replace him with a cheaper alternative that isn’t diminishing in skill.

I’d take Poyer back one a one year deal but it would need to be at a discount.

I dunno, Hyde was certainly missed but until the playoff game against Cincinnati the only losses the Bills had last year were when Poyer was out. He's pretty important too.

Poyer was horrible in the playoffs last year. Idk if it was strictly his injury but he had about 4-5 plays where he either completely read the route wrong, or didnt know his zone responsibility. A lot of times he would be shadowing underneath just for the receiver/TE to causally fade to the back of the endzone

yup!

I’d take Poyer back on a one year deal but it would need to be at a discount.


Agreed!
