BTB is complaining because Poyer not there but doesn't acknowledge that others are missing 

Who are the other players not attending, and do they have legit reasons for skipping the OTA’s, or just pouting over a contract squabble?  
 

…and yes, I understand that they are voluntary.

Part of an NFL players responsibilities are to the fans and organization but not solely to them.  Just like you and me, there is a personal responsibility and he is in the middle of negotiations and from his perspective this is the last chance he has at getting a multiyear contract that will forever secure he, his family and his legacy.

 

It is a voluntary workout, he doesn't have to be here and I don't begrudge him one bit on what he believes is best for his families interests.   He is an old pro, him missing some voluntary workouts is not going to affect him one bit when it comes to his play on the field.

Does he deserve a new big time extension is the question.  Does anyone know what Poyer is due to earn this year?  I like Poyer's game.  He is a solid player and leader on our defense.  That being said, he is not some amazingly gifted athlete playing the safety position who has revolutionized the game.  I get that everyone wants financial security.  But not sure he is the guy the Bills are going to throw the Brinks truck at.  Especially since they still have Jacquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin, who the Bills might be high on.

So is it okay if no one shows up?  What makes it okay for just the disgruntled one(s) to blow it off?

Voluntary, Optional, Not required, or do we have to make it simpler for you?

If that is an issue, then length of contract will be on the table when the Bills negotiate.  They will also be looking at how they can do a contract that another team could accept in a trade for Poyer.

The others missing did not just hire Rosenhaus and are probably not in question of holding out. 

Look up the definition of the word ’”Voluntary” …,

The NFL is a business. The owners, coaches, players, and their agents all understand that. Not participating during OTAs while a player's contract is unsettled is part of the negotiating process. Poyer certainly understands that. Your characterizations of Poyer pouting, and crying suggest that you don't.

Yeah cause every team has all pro safeties on their roster. He is top 5 in his position but not paid as such. Tired of people crying like the NFL is making billions off these guys talents. He deserves his fair share and it reasonable for him to not show up for voluntary practices when he feels he's underpaid. Stop being selfish and only caring about the team and their success like these aren't real humans playing.

Those apologizing for Poyer's absence won't be so happy when he holds out all of training camp.

 

He hired a cut throat agent. Who lines up against no fool, In Beane We Trust.

 

Beane isn't going to break the bank for a 31 y/o Safety. Besides, the till is empty. Poyer is traded or cut.

When asked about the energy Jordan and Shaq bring to the team, McD brought up Tim Settle’s name unsolicited as a guy who also compares, meaning he left an undeniable impression. McD said he wants it to stay on the field so it doesn’t become a detriment. Hopefully Settle can be found gold for the Bills, he was behind some real difference makers in Washington.


Tim Settle = Huge under the radar signing.

His wife won’t be happy if he holds out of TC either. Hefty fines  that team can no longer waive with new CBA
