    Give him a 1 year extension with more money up front this year. Thats it. If he doesn't want it then let him go. He gets an extra year and more money. The bills dont have to commit long term and allows them time to draft or develop a safety to replace him. 

    Yes...time starts about now about developing a replacement. The safety position can get old real quick.

    Poyer is very good. I don't have a problem with him wanting another deal etc.

     

    I do have a problem with the way things are being put out there by his wife. It simply isn't the way you should be doing business.

     

    Something they might need to consider, is that if not for the Bills giving him his shot in the first place, he might still be scuttling around the league, chasing vet minimums.

     

    Also, when complaining about the likes of Diggs and Miller getting paid, it perhaps needs to be mentioned that Miller will be a 1st ballot HOF guy, whenever he becomes eligible, and Diggs will also get some serious consideration, if he continues as he is.

     

    Poyer won't even get close to the HOF, unless he turns in the sort of performance that wins a Superbowl, and gets him more noticed.

     

    While currently, Poyer and Hyde get a lot of love as the possibly best safety tandem in the NFL, the point is that it's as a tandem, rather than being specifically mentioned individually.

     

    IN the grand pecking order of who gets paid in an NFL team, generally speaking, a Safety is pretty low down on the list. Last year, Poyer was something like 13th on the list of highest paid safeties, with Hyde just behind him - and that is towards the end of his deal. Seems to me that that shows that he got decent terms the last time around.

     

    Noticeably, Mathieu was getting about $14million per, but he's been cut, and is yet to sign elsewhere iirc.

     

    If Poyer becomes a headache, then the Bills could just cut him (I'm not too bothered about the cap considerations atm), and where is he going to go to get the sort of money he's on now?

    The type of receiver that Diggs is allows him to play a little longer and still be very effective. Safeties games seem to get older quicker...Poyer is no speed demon to start with.

    He's a guy I'd be absolutely ok trading up for.  He's everything Beane talks about in needing to bring game-breaking speed to the Offense.  Fits in seamlessly out of the slot, with Diggs and Davis outside.  

     

    Also perfect because we don't need to rush him back, given the signing of Crowder.  Work him in when he's ready and then unleash him down the stretch of the season to get ready for the Playoffs. 

    Absolutely. Once he is fully healed, I believe that he would be a quick study and transition fast! It would be an electric tandem! Williams is just the kind of receiver that Josh needs!

    The two key questions here:

     

    Who would the Bills be moving up for?

     

    What veterans have trade value?

     

    The logical answers to the first question would seem to be a corner or WR. Maybe they really like Derek Stingley or Jameson Williams.

     

    The only answers I could come up with to the second question are Tremaine Edmunds and Zack Moss. 
     

    Interesting report. I can’t see them moving up TOO high, as it would cost a ton to get from 25th into the top 10. Maybe they just want to get inside the top 20 to ensure they get one of these WRs or CBS before the talent level drops off.

    A top corner and an LB
