Not surprised. Too many safeties available. Wouldn’t be surprised if Poyer is a Dolphin. He almost signed there last year.

Leslie Frazier works for the Seahawks now. They just released both their safeties. Hyde is a FA as well. 🤔🤔🤔

One of my favorites...this was no surprise though from a cap perspective.  

 

He didn't find the market he was looking for last offseason, wondering if he comes back again if the market is dry and plays another season on a cheaper deal.  We need to draft safeties this year and get younger, but would be nice to have someone like Poyer here a season to help groom them.  

 

If he has officially played his last game though, then thanks for everything you gave Poyer, you were a true dawg out there week in and week out giving everything you got.

It's hard on a human level but if we want to be a Super Bowl team, moves like this need to be made. You can't hang onto an aging player for sentimental reasons. 

At least not when you're in a poor cap situation.

When the Bills win a title, there are players I'm going to think about w/ gratitude, and wishing that they could have achieved that goal while they were on the team.

 

Hyde & Poyer top that list.  They helped give the Bills D a fierce identity, and were always a joy to watch.  I wish both guys the best.

 

They should be together on the Wall

I knew this day would happen eventually but I am still sad.  Poyer and Hyde were dogs out there and gave it their all every game.  Going to miss this duo.  Some of my favorite Bills ever. Wish they could have gone to the show while they were here.  Would have been amazing.

Like I said, won't happen. We are drafting WR.


We have one hole at WR.

 

We have NUMEROUS holes on defense.

 

The draft is deep for wide receivers.


As my grandma used to say, don’t count your chickens, sonny boy.

Best wishes Poyer. Probably the best safety the Bills had in my lifetime.

This is why I never fault players for getting the absolute maximum they can from a team, including holding out. tHeY'rE uNdEr cOnTrAcT is only ever a 1 way line of thinking.

Sad day.  Loved watching  Poyer 

I agree, Loved the guy.

 

When he was mic'd up and I watched him hit, it looked like getting hit by a Mack truck... reminded me of Steve Atwater
