Poyer Thanks Mafia

Re: Poyer Thanks Mafia

We paid a lot of guys- Josh, Diggs, Milano, Knox, Miller, White... there is only so much cap space. Eventually, someone is going to be the odd man out. I'd like to keep Poyer but with his age, it doesn't make sense to give him a big multi-year deal. And if someone offers him one, I don't blame him for taking it. It's probably going to be his last big contract.


Ideally for the team, he hits the FA market, no one offers him a long-term deal, and we can bring him back for 1 or 2 years without committing big money long-term. But, that's wishful thinking.

Agreed

This is not the off-season to ‘bring back the band’
the band wasn’t good enough in the end
whether that’s the band mates, or the producers. Things need to change

I think this year clearly demonstrated they the glue of the defensive backfield is Hyde and not Poyer. I don’t have much interest in brining him back at this point. We need to find cheaper alternatives with higher ceilings.

You make a fair point, but my concern in these situations is always finding the replacement.

During the drought, some really bad FO's made good decisions by letting FA's walk rather than overpay them, but they usually failed to find sufficient replacements.

We are undefeated in games he played this year.

McBeane found Hyde and Poyer, they can do it again.

Dolphins don’t have the cake for Poyer but let them spend away on an old guy.

Re: Poyer Thanks Mafia

Sounds like Christian Benford could be a good cheap option to move to safety to replace Poyer. He's got a great skill set for the position and the Bills obviously like and trust him a lot. I'm sure they'll make some other additions here, but I'm a fan of this idea.

Can he tackle well enough though

Re: Poyer Thanks Mafia

The best way to build a team is through the draft but when you have an expensive QB it's the only way. We're going to have to NAIL the draft and even then some hard decisions are going to need to be made.

Re: Poyer Thanks Mafia

He was generally viewed as a good tackler in scouting reports due to his size and physicality. He was talked about as a hard hitter and ball hawk, which is why there seemed to be plenty of speculation that his best position could be as a safety. I think he's got a legit shot to be the starter next to Hyde.

He will be Poyer's replacement unless there's a better option.

Still taking time to process all this while packing our house completely up for the first time in 6 years. Seems surreal. Bills Mafia, regardless of what happens-whatever comes of Jordan’s FA this year, y’all have been AMAZING these past few years. THANK YOU❤️💙
