    -a genuinely capable FA will cost a lot, and I don't know who it is anyway
    -not sure we have anyone to trade, and can't afford to send draft picks because we madly need to use them

    Find a way to re-sign Poyer for a bit is my hope. Best bandaid.
    Listening to Poyer on social media it sounds like he has checked out. Multi-millionaires complaining of NY State taxes is so lame. Considering it was the BUFFALO Bills that made him worth what he is. There are some good safeties in the draft. Draft two. Sign a mid-range free agent. I don't want a Poyer that doesn't want to be here. Moreover, with injuries, he may have started on to his downside.

      Ya, I don’t know what I did? Lol. Was just trying to post this tweet of a video Poyer did recently talking about Miami…

          Being in New York state sucks for everyone. Guys in Buffalo are stuck paying for all the liberal BS with no way to monetize anything like players in larger metropolitan statistical areas. Edmunds is singing the same tune. They want out of the Bills and it's bigger than the best contract they can sign. I think they also are saying they are tired of the cluster-**** with their actions.

            I’m sure NYS taxes plays into every player’s decision to sign in Buffalo.

              Maybe the cap should be adjusted depending on the state the team resides.

              Gotta level the playing field as well as the paying field.

                Except professional athletes must pay state income taxes in every state they play any games in.

                And the income tax laws are so filled with loopholes for wealthy people it becomes much less significant than right wingers think.

                Playing on a winning team, with a solid organization and franchise with a reasonable chance of getting into the playoffs and Super Bowl is much more important.

                        State taxes relative to player's contracts and the cities they may play in is relevant to the topic and this forum.

                        Attempting to steer the conversation toward a political slant with a term like 'right wingers' is not, and more appropriate for a different forum.

                        Most fans, regardless of their political leanings, are able to avoid the urge to create more divisiveness and discuss the topic within the appropriate context.

                          The Bills snatched Poyer and Hyde away in FA when they were still underrated. There’s a possibility to do it again.

                          Giants S Julian Love
                          Eagles S Marcus Epps or Gardner-Johnson
                          Cowboys S Donovan Wilson
                          Detroit S Deshon Elliot.

                          there’s a few guys to look at that might not cost a ton

                            Just read your post and you mentioned Right Wingers ..... didn't see anyone else do it.

                              There are a lot of tax advantages to play in Florida and not in New York!

                                Yea, and baseball players whine about playing in Toronto, as do hockey players about any Canadian team as well.

                                This is a non-issue for teams that are within reach of winning it all. (no matter what league)

                                Poyer's fascination with the fish has more to do with his dip**** wife's fascination with South Beach, as opposed to tax policy.
