#Bills safety Jordan Poyer is expected to sign… back in Buffalo, sources say. He checked out the market, but returned to the #BillsMafia.

Welcome back, Po!
Was kinda hoping that would be the case.
Pretty much ends my dreams of a major WR trade though.

Re: Report - Poyer Returning To Bills
We lost every game Poyer didn't start last year. The only one we lost where he did start was Cincy in the playoffs, and he was banged up. Also, from a "this guy loves Buffalo" perspective, he drove in a bus to a game with a collapsed lung cause they wouldn't let him fly.
Just sayin'. If he's anything close to healthy, he's an All-Pro. I'm down for another year. Let's see the numbers though.

I'd bet it's a 2 year deal, it it's true, maybe with a team option of some sort

Re: Report - Poyer Returning To Bills
That's probably the most surprising outcome of this free agency period for me. I thought for sure he was gone even if the market ended up being softer than he anticipated.
We still need some safety depth, but our secondary is looking pretty strong heading into the draft.

Re: Report - Poyer Returning To Bills
Jordan Poyer had thoughts of warmer climates, but hopefully the veteran safety held onto his long johns. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Poyer is expected to re-sign with the Bills. Poyer adds that there are still a few details to sort out, but none that should get in the way of the deal being finalized.

I welcome him back if he wants to be here.

The most annoying thing was the outplaying of his hand.

Re: Report - Poyer Returning To Bills
Adam Schefter (the REAL one, not some fan falsely attributing a fake rumor using his name) is reporting that it’s a one deal.
For only two years.....which was reported to be the sticking point before the 2022 season with Mr. & Mrs. Poyer whining about a long term deal with a BIG raise.
It will be very interesting to see how much this contract is for.
Unless it’s an absurd amount, this is a very positive move for the Bills. It allows them to look to the later rounds to draft a S to develop.

As far as returning I did believe he valued himself too high and might need to come back .... I never believed he'd be welcomed with open arms in a free market and neither did the Buffalo Bills.
Dolphins really taught him a lesson ....... that I knew was coming.
EGOS are so damn high in a professional athlete sometimes it just takes awhile to come back to Earth.
The best part is he didn't take long to wake the **** up.

As Bills fans this should be exactly what we want. He's good, but he's a bit long in the tooth and is probably going to start declining soon. We didn't throw long term money at an aging player but we still have whatever he has left in the tank.

It’s always been the Bills strategy to not give in to his vocal demands and keep the door open for after he had a chance flirt with other teams, and have them not flirt back because (like women in their early 20’s) are more attracted to younger guys with more stamina.
Give him the room to realize how good he really has it in Buffalo.

Great to have him back man, his market must have been poor, or rather his options poor. He might have wanted Miami but Im not sure it was reciprocated.

It takes a bit of pressure off of Beane. I still think it would serve the team best to consider moving Benford to safety and learn behind Hyde, and draft Poyer's replacement to learn under him.

Re: Report - Poyer Returning To Bills
This is the best signing they could have had in FA'CY.
1. Do they shame him into coming back by saying something like.."Josh, Steph, Von etc. all restructured so we could pay you more money."?;
2. If so, did he believe it?
3. Did Pegula secretly agree to cover his NYS tax liability?
4. Will it count against the cap?
So...as it stands now, they've lost 1 starter from last season. Am I right? And they get 2 back who weren't there at the end of last season, Von and Hyde.
Don't be surprised if Jack Campbell isn't taken at 27...ok, maybe be a little surprised.

He is. But there are a few others to consider. Overshown...fun to watch...and he's built like a little lighter version of Edmunds. But like Edmunds...idk...does some stupid things. Like others, he's converted DB and is learning the position.
A couple of others to consider outside of round 1.
Dorian Williams is a great athlete who is just learning the position. Smallish, maybe better built for the outside..but he can also cover.
If not Campbell, this is my number 2 guy..

Not sure I want him. He's on the slow side for coverage responsibilities. Kind of the AJ Epenesa of linebackers, not terrible, just meh
Rather see if the Bills can find a way to fit Bobby Wagner under the cap. Kind of a bad year to draft a linebacker.
