The Buffalo Bills sport one of the best safety tandems in the entire NFL with Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. Our friends over at the NFL Wire have often complimented the duo and did once again.  We’re not here to overlook Hyde, he gets mentioned as well. Hyde was named the 12th best safety in NFL by TD Wire.

Where Poyer lands was really eye catching.

In naming the 13 best safeties in the league, Poyer is named the best of the best. The top-spot overall is given to him.

Hyde made Mac Jones’ life particularly miserable, as the Patriots’ rookie quarterback gave up three picks to him — two in Week 16, and one in Buffalo’s wild-card win. The wild-card pick came with Hyde as the deep safety, and Nelson Agholor beating cornerback Levi Wallace downfield. That didn’t matter, because Hyde zoomed over to take the ball away.

The true "author" of that article right now, Drew Rosenhaus:

[RoyBatty is alive]

Poyer allowed no TDs, 5 INTs, allowed 61 total yards and an opponents passer rating of 13.7.  Those numbers are stunning.

Poyer deserves recognition.........but It is interesting how players in walk years or salary disputes SO OFTEN go from unrecognizable to many pundits..........to being pitched as shining stars.

 

It's been going on since free agency began.    

 

@H2o might actually be on to something.

I wonder how much Rosenhouse paid for that article . 😆

 

Just kidding of course !!

[K D]

Poyer is good but...best overall? Sounds like someone needs a new contract and slipped some $ under the table on this one

[Freddie's Dead]

He's 31, too old, ***** him.  Or at least that's what I've heard.

For a big extension that's how I feel though not in those exact words.

Best safety in the league takes terrible angles in the run game.

And that would be "Goodbye, Jordan."

There is certainly reason to believe article writer is influenced by Poyer's agent.

Poyer's agent is pushing for a new contract and like in draft agents tend to try to create press when they are negotiating.

 

There is certainly a tradition of writers getting paid for articles by those favorably reviewed.

I used to game with a couple and the wife was a trade negotiator for US trying to allow American cars in Japan which was actively preventing it while their manufacturers were paying for favorable articles in US auto magazines.

Poyer is no Jarius Byrd.  Oh wait...

[BillsFan4]

If his agent really did influence this article as others have mentioned above (which seems plausible), that makes me think Poyer wants top of the market safety money.

 

I could see that being the case because he hasn’t really made a ton of money in his career and this is probably his last shot at a big pay day. But I just don’t see how it works out in Buffalo if that’s what he’s after. I think the best the bills could do is something similar to what he’s making now.

With Poyer showing up to camp, I would say the the FO/Agent are at least talking enough where he's satisfied.

You're not kidding, Badol.

 

Back awhile when my wife and I were coming up on our 10th anniversary I kept hearing from friends and family (and her) how great she was and how "she's the best!" and how much she liked diamonds.

If last years performance was used as the data point for concluding who ranks where on the best safety list, then I’m not sure why people questioning the writers motive.

 

 One can make the best safety in the league argument rather easily looking at last years numbers while considering he posted that stat line on the NFLs #1 defense.

 

if we’re going beyond last year and looking at everything to form an overall best safety list, then he’s somewhere in the 5-10 range IMHO.

No you’re not.  
 

I thought the same thing 

[Apocalypse Nuts]

Love to see Jordan getting badly overdue respect for his hard work and amazing instincts.  He deserves every bit of it.  Time and time again I am blown away by his tackles that save sure touchdowns.  Reminds me of Antoine Winfield in many ways.

But no discussion about Poyer is complete without Micah Hyde.  That INT of Mac Jones in the playoffs was the best pick I have ever witnessed live and probably one of the best individual plays I have ever seen.  And that’s just a fraction of what Hyde brings to this defense.

 

Mad love to our boys at the safety positions right now!

I am a Poyer fan for not what he does paired with Hyde but what he does elsewhere in game.  Bills were going with extra men pulling a DT to give extra rush on end and Poyer replaced DT going one on one with lineman.  I was friend at a sports bar and he asked who that LB was and I said it was our safety.  Offense lineman seemed surprised but Poyer handled him without grabbing put hands on chest and lineman actually took a step back.

 

I was pushing for him and Hyde to get extensions last time wanting Poyer's and Hyde's contracts to end same year since they need to be joined at hip for best value.   However I do not see him having as much value to another team as Buffalo as long as they have Poyer and Hyde together.   This does not mean another team will not be willing to spend stupid money (teams are obligated to spend 90% of cap) but I do not believe the Bills should match it.  If Rosenass has Poyer sit out in contract dispute Bills need to go full monty on replacing him with player on roster.  Luckily NFL changed rules to prevent teams from waiving mandatory fines for things like missing mandatory camp and games.

 

Need a sign at game: Poyer your wife wants a big diamond.  You should look at playing baseball.
