Rachel Bush, contract negotiator/agent

[Steptide]

If it wernt for the bills, poyer may not even be playing football. She also posted last week how the bills shouldn't be playing any starters (vs the jets). Think she just needs to shut up and be thankful.

This^ Quite sure she’s not really stressed by the injustice that he’s outplayed his contract. There’s certainly a motive there. 

[Laughing Coffin]

There's also plenty of players that play below their contracts.  Poyer will get his offer sooner or later.

[GunnerBill]

Poyer considered a hold out last year from what I am told. He does feel underpaid and I am led to believe it was his respect for the coaches and his relationship with Hyde that convinced him to come back without a new deal. 

 

I doubt he does the same again. The Bills should offer him a moderate increase. He is good not great but he and Hyde are greater than the sum of their parts. Their relationship is critical to our ability to disguise coverage.

We should trade him. He was a nobody before we signed him, McDermott can find another nobody who will do fine in his system. Take advantage of Derm's ability to coax good safety play and add value to the franchise. Let someone else pay him, use the money to re-sign more pivotal pieces and add to WR/RB/DE.

Tre White is phenomenal, beyond that we have role players. I don’t want to overrate the Jets, but watching our second team D that game gave me a new perspective. We are a brilliantly coached defensive team with a great scheme. Overall, we have decent defensive players who play within the scheme. I wouldn’t be particularly stressed about losing Poyer. I think our coaching staff could plug someone into that role without a huge drop off.

If a moderate increase gets it done then fine, but I wouldn't want to give him huge money. Derm could figure out how to replace him if he had to and the extra draft pick wouldn't hurt.

Just be careful to not pay for past performance. Some players outperform their contracts and some underperform. The guys that underperform don't issue refunds. The team needs to evaluate what his future value will be and propose a contract accordingly.

I will do anything to keep her in Buffalo

[Rc2catch]

I can’t disagree with her. Poyer and Hyde are both underpaid. But, on the business side of things Poyer isn’t worth his next contract. I would let him walk. We can’t pay every starter big money. He’s expendable and much easier to replace than most of our starters. Hope he doesn’t play the sitting out game. 

[MAJBobby]

Poyer is on my list of re-signs just not the priority. 
 

I don’t see her tweets anyway she blocked me 2 years ago when I posted criticism of the Bills but not before she said I obviously am not a Bills fan.

I wouldn't pay him a dime. let him walk and get replaced. we can lineup any safety next to Hyde and they will play well.

Hyde, Tre, and LorAx more or less talked him out of holding out

[Haze_21]

We are paying Kroft double what poyer is getting. Dude does deserve a raise.

That this thread is devoid of pictures saddens me.

That corroborates somewhat the version I heard. Thanks Bandit. 

[Herc11]

Extend the man. Why in the hell would we want to create another hole that needs to be filled? We already need to replace Lorax, get a #2 CB, and edge rusher. Poyer is an above average safety and it would be plain stupid to let him walk.

Here are my questions: What is he getting now? What might he ask for? What is he worth on the open market? 

 

I love our DB’s for the most part. His relationship and interchangeability with Hyde certainly has some value. I’d like to keep as much of the gang together as possible. I don’t want to be stupid with money, but that’s what cap space is for. Right?
