Just wondering how many nfl vets you’ve spoken to about this?  It’s a nice paycheck. He went from making $0 to $21k a week to do what he loves with people that he loves.  Wake up

This is slightly better

Hes probably in the building like Hyde last year but with the idea he can play if absolutely necessary

Clearly he doesn’t have any teams who are willing to give him a roster spot, I’m guessing multiple teams have said you can be on the PS. This lets him stay in shape and let him come back to a place he knows

Hold on.  He isnt All Pro anymore, but he is an upgrade over Hamlin if schemed a similar way.  Hamlin isnt doing anything exotic in coverage.  Poyer is more physical, more instinctive.  I think he still has more juice than Hamlin.  Now you cant use him like we used to but protect him a bit with scheme and I think he is a solid depth player.

They just started allowing vets to be on the practice squad a few years ago. Also they pretty much doubled the amount of players allowed.  Years ago they’d just be out of the league

This is fine. He's here to be a mentor for Cole. Nothing to be alarmed about whatsoever. 

[oldmanfan]

Sit with Bishop in each practice and film session.

[Royale with Cheese]

He is probably the emergency if Bishop doesn't figure it out.  We can't have Hamlin as the long term solution if Bishop sucks.

[SoCal Deek]

Can it really be this damn difficult to play in the secondary in McDs defense?

Isn't this very similar to what Micah did last year.

 

The only difference so far is the timing.

I guess this means more Rachel Bush tweets!

Just wondering if you can name a former All-Pro veteran who signed a contract at the end of his career with the intention to be on the practice squad all season.

One day contract to retire as a Bill I hope. Maybe Coleman will cheap shot him.

Sounds like he will be a player coach. Maybe he could play in a “break glass in case of emergency” sense.

[BillsfaninChicago]

The fact that it is legitimate to wonder if this is a real or ceremonial retirement contract says something…

Hyde essentially only did it for the playoff run.

This is the Bills admitting the secondary is in serious trouble right now 

This is exactly what this is to me... Poyer looked cooked... but then again, Hamlin and Bishop combined for some really burnt toast ... this is insurance... and could it be that his ceiling is literally no worse than Hamlin right now?

It's really not that different than the players that transition into coaching.
