YoloinOhio Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 thinking Bills should be working on an extension. Thoughts on his value? He signed for 4 years, 13 mill in 2017. FA in 2021, will make just under 3 mill this year https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jordan-poyer-12500/
Matt_In_NH Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 He is for sure. I would not be surprised if they work on an extension.
GunnerBill Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 They should absolutely extend him in my mind. Add 2 years to his deal. Get him a bunch of new money upfront and bring him into that $5.5/6m a year category. 1
Don Otreply Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 If i’m Management, the least I can get away with and still have a happy employee. Isn’t that how it’s normally done?

Mark Vader Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 If they want to keep Poyer, I would hope they would give him an extension soon. Another 2-3 years would be great. If the Bills choose not to do this, then I would be concerned that Poyer will just play out his contract and walk away.
Captain_Quint Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Just to keep his wife around, yes, extend him! 1

Isn’t that the deal though, two sides jockeying for position, management trying to pay as little as possible “and still have a happy employee”, the Bills will throw him a bone because he does his job well. Hence the still have a happy employee thing. Beane ain’t no sentimental manager, he’s all business all the time. Hell, thats why we as fans like him so much.
ghostwriter Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 I think he’s worth $8m-$10m a year. 2
Beast Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I’d offer him top 5 money for his position over 3 years.....to answer the question, severely underpaid. Edited September 10, 2019 by Binghamton Beast
YoloinOhio Posted September 10, 2019 Author Posted September 10, 2019 He’s also a leader, which McDermott loves.

Isn’t that how it’s normally done? You give him market value, so other players know that the team will pay it's players what they are worth. Football teams don't need to be frugal, just wise. They bring in boatloads of cash, give the players what they deserve. 1 1
klos63 Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Just now, YoloinOhio said: He’s also a leader, which McDermott loves. He's a tremendous player to have on the team and has seriously outearned his current deal.
Saxum Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 It would be good to extend him and Hyde this year with a bonus designed to move more money to this year. It would free up money in later years when others need to be paid. 3 1
skibum Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) He's going to be hard to keep, but hopefully he's open to an extension at a solid but non-ludicrous pay rate. He will likely garner a lot of demand on the free agent market in 2021, and I'm sure his agent knows it. It's a good thing the Bills have a bunch of cap space in the coming year; they're going to need it to keep this D together! Edited September 10, 2019 by skibum
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 2020 - 90 mil and 10 or so spots to fill Show him the $$$$
JoeF Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Great topic. Something tells me Beane is attune to Poyer, Hyde and Tre and keeping them locked up for the long term....There are three good years left after this one for Poyer and Hyde I believe. Tre is a core player for whom the Bills must act on the 5th year option this coming off-season.
