‘What the team decides to with Poyer will go a long way toward determining this answer. If he re-signs, which I still think is unlikely, safety becomes much less of a short-term need, but the long-term need at the position is still there. If Poyer leaves, given the uncertainty that you mentioned surrounding Hamlin’s future and Benford’s potential position switch, safety would be a big need. I’m all in on building up the offense, so I’d still put safety behind offensive line and wide receiver, but that’s just personal preference. Johnson is also an unrestricted free agent, as is Dean Marlowe. So at the moment, the Bills have just three true safeties signed for next year – Hyde, Hamlin and Jared Mayden, who was signed off the Jets’ practice squad after Hamlin was placed on injured reserve.’
