I’d have no problem with a fair contract extension, but I wouldn’t want to overpay him just because we have a lot of cap room and he demanded it. Let’s hope they can work out a fair deal without theatrics. 1

Didn’t someone just post that she grew (up) from the last Twitter fiasco? Based on this I’d say that it sure doesn’t seem like it.
GoBills808 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Why does his wife think the best time to bring this up is the day after the Bills lost a playoff game in which Poyer got dragged into the endzone by 215lb Deshaun Watson? 1

Need to apply the baseball WAR logic here. 2
NewEra Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 Please keep Poyer, Hyde and Tre together. Pleaaaaaaaase 2
Marvlevydraftdaygenius Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I think you let him walk because with Ed and Horrible Harry coming back from surgery where is he going to play if you pay him a monster contract look draft a run stuffing tackle in the draft and rotate him with Ed and Harry.

Yes and I'm saying they won't resign him to an extension. And if he threatens to hold out I'd look to trade him. They might be thinking of doing that anyways in advance of the draft. 1

Guy plays his ass off for us. Lays out in the run game as few safeties do. Definite process guy. Also makes some mistakes (long run in Ravens game, not sure if on Poyer or on Hyde) and gets trucked sometimes (Watson TD) Rachel Bush his wife. 1

blacklabel Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 She edited the tweet, it was different yesterday. Said she thinks the Bills owe Poyer a big payday after how he's played for them. I think Poyer has played well... I don't know if he's up there with some of the top safeties in the league, but I think I'd keep him around. And if I were a pro athlete, I think I'd tell my SO that my agent will handle contract negotiations. Comments like hers (before she changed it) just draw negative attention. 1

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. Siran Neal might be a player. Had a great game Sat. Minus the sack debacle
Reed83HOF Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 He deserves a raise, @GunnerBill is 1000000% correct on him and Hyde disguising coverage and the sum of the parts has been top notch, I'm just not sure how much cap I put into the safeties. We have the room to give a him a raise and structure it so it hits next offseason and limits the upfront hit this year, but from a production standpoint alone he is replaceable at a cheaper contract. I would look to spend my premium cap space on QB, WR, CB, Edge, Pass Catching TE over a zone safety. We could reasonably fit him in though without affecting our ability in the next couple seasons to sign whoever we want.
