Bills sign Jordan Poyer to new deal with increased incentives, continue to work toward extension

[Scott7975]

This is good news.  Should keep Poyer a little happy and maybe they eventually work out a couple year deal or something later on.  Poyer is aging but he still makes a hell of an impact on this D.

Mrs Poyer got her new Lamborghini, how nice....

That’s what this whole negotiation was about. 
But she’s gonna need snow tires and chains soon.. (do people still do this there?)

I dont really see people use chains anymore on cars.  Studded tires maybe.

Beane seem pretty reasonable but he’s not going to be the highest bidder

 

I think Rosenhause is more nuanced.  Certainly if the guy is a FA he's "get him the most money" kind of guy.

 

His options are more limited while his guy is under contract for the current season, but that's a nice "good behavior award" for Poyer going out there and putting his body on the line and balling out.

An agents job is to look out for his best interest which includes many variables most importantly money.  Was Beane the highest bidder for Von Miller?

[PrimeTime101]

Poyer gets a few more INT this year, they will have to pay more then that..

[WMDman]

Good sign he gets a long term extension 

[Matt_In_NH]

I think he is done in Buffalo after this year

[Freddie's Dead]

[PrimeTime101]

they had to! how much more would his net worth be if in the next 3 games he gets 2-3 more INT? 

 

This was not by choice folks.. this was dictated lol

[Steptide]

This is smart on the bills part. Keeps Poyer happy and it's little risk for the bills. Let's see how his season plays out and go from there 

[NewEra]

Beane doing warlock things.  Love this

your NUTS. They dont give him more money this year just to let him go. they give him more money this year to add years to his contract.

Great news!

 

This is what I thought would happen... a sweetening of the current deal to satisfy the player with the hopes of something more permanent later on.

 

Now to focus on the objective... no more distractions.

It is simply amazing how this franchise seems to do everything right.  

 

I don't think they're keeping Poyer.  But Beane knows how valuable he is, and he knows that having Poyer unhappy this season is not good for the team.  So, find a way to make him happy, a short-term deal that makes long-term cap sense.   

 

And it gives Rosenhaus a win for his client - puts money in his pocket in the short-term and preserves the opportunity for a big-payday for his client next season.  Or, frankly, for his client to decide that he's willing to take less to stay in Buffalo. 

 

It's just a perfect solution.   

 

And, it's one more thing that points to a possible deal, sometime, to keep Edmunds.  Knox is signed, Poyer is good for the short-term.  There may be room to pay Edmunds nicely and keep him in the middle.

All depends on what he thinks he’s worth and if he’s willing to take less.  It’s on Poyer imo

As you can see, I disagree.  The reason Beane reserves cap space going into the season is to be able to spend to meet short-term needs.   That's what the money is for.   Turns out he had a different kind of short-term need - he needed to keep a key player happy, but he wasn't willing to extend the guy with kind of money he was looking for.   So, he solved his short-term problem with money he had reserved to solve short-term problems.   

 

I don't know what anyone else thought, but I was watching Poyer's postgame press conference for any indication at all that he's unhappy.  I was pleased that there was no indication at all.   Why not?   Because he already knew that the Bills were going to take care of him this year, and he could play the season without a chip on his shoulder. 

 

We all know he has too much talent and too little cap room to keep all the talent.   This move is a good indication

Bolded, i have not read anything to this being true or false and because so this looks like an assumption on your part. IF it is true im 100% behind you on this

If anyone had any doubt left, and honestly you should not have...Beane is the best GM in the NFL right now, and I don't think its even up for debate anymore.  This is just a class act move and show of total respect and appreciation for his players.  This is the kind of stuff that makes players want to come here, and I mean that seriously.  You don't see a lot of GM's do this kind of thing, especially for players who are 31.  

 

This is a fantastic move for the team, Poyer, and the commitment to the pursuit of a championship.  I could not love this move more to be honest.  It's a win win for everyone and Jordan has more than earned this and deserves this opportunity.  

I thought the same. I DONT think we get a new deal, but this atleast opens the opportunity a little bit... AND players talk. Beane didn't have to do this and other players agents are going to see hard work rewarded, good faith $$. Were going to draw some nice FA where were not the highest bidder for years

Yeah I mean it would make total sense to give more money to a player that they’re moving on from
