26CornerBlitz Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Quote "Even though this team doesn't want you, there's other teams out there that are going to be watching this film the next few weeks," Hyde recalled his agent saying. "Come free agency, you never know what's going to happen." At times during his four seasons in Green Bay, Hyde thought about playing at Lambeau Field in the green and gold for the rest of his career. But he learned before his final season as a Packer was over that those feelings weren't mutual. "It was eye opening," Hyde said. "It was like somebody stabbed me in my back because I still had to play for that team for the next whatever. But I played my best football I've ever played. Maybe when I get stabbed in my back it makes me play a little better. It was frustrating at the time, but God has a plan and it all worked out for me." Thanks Ted Thompson. 1
artmalibu Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Wow, surprised they didnt make him an offer, even a low one. The contract he has now is not bargain basement.
WhoTom Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Seeing how the Packers defense has been playing this year, I'm guessing Ted regrets that decision. 1
Steptide Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Did we pay him alot? Or was he just not a highly desired free agent?
The BLUES Brothers Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Not sure how National GMs really looked at him but back when Hyde was still a Packer and names were being thrown around as possible Buffalo Bills pick ups - WNY Sports shows had him near top of the list as a great fit that they thought would never end up here.
H2o Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Hyde and Poyer, along with the drafting of White, and the trade for Gaines completely transformed this Secondary. They have been very good when all on the field together. 2

I had the same feeling. I was shocked when he signed with the Bills. 1
Buffalo_Gal Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Their loss is our (big) gain. I can't believe they let him walk, let alone never offered him a contract. 1
RoyBatty is alive Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 Great pickup along with Poyer, hope you love beng a Bill Micah. 1
Doc Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 I loved the signing at the time. I just wish they hadn't traded Seymour for Clay. That would have given them a really good and deep secondary. 1
Domdab99 Posted December 2, 2017 Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) If God has a plan that involves the Buffalo Bills, he's doing a piss-poor job of planning. Or he's mad at Micah Hyde. Edited December 2, 2017 by Domdab99
Bing Bong Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 I was nervous about a Packers backup that the Packers didn't care to re-sign. But the dude can ball. 1

Of course, because they wrongly assume nobody wants to come here.
