He's the #1 SS in the league this season by both cap hit and base salary. If we are looking at money, "base salary" is meaningless. Po is on his last year of his contract extension. It's high because most of the guaranteed money was already paid up in cap. As to cap hit, $2.6M is pushed from last year when he restructured to free up cap space. In Poyer's 6 years playing for the Bills his cost averages to $5.8M per year. Bills got a pretty good deal for their money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should pay him just not trying to blame the bills for believing in him and giving a chance and paying him twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will unfortunately depend on the length and AAV. I think he compromises a bit to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_Bills Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 2 hours ago, wppete said: Definitely do not pay him! He is not getting younger and constantly hurt. Hopefully we win it all this year and he walks away. I'd love to berate you for being heartless, but this is exactly how winning teams operate. Never pay for depreciating assets.

Never pay for depreciating assets. Got to put the feelings aside and do the right thing financially for the teams future. We took a massive risk with Von Miller can’t do another one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHAN Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 IF the expectation is that the knee and elbow will recover 100% in the off season, you absolutely re-sign Poyer to 2 years guaranteed with whatever voidable years are needed to do the contract. Hyde and Poyer will be able to be effective for at least 2 more years. It's not like a cover corner who is toast when they lose a step. Get-er-done!

ehfeuh57 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Wasn't this suspected at the time? We knew he was playing injured with something didn't we? or am i combining other injuries together in my head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andysplaylist Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Remember his first game as a Bill? He burst onto the scene and keeps making plays. If he takes a team friendly deal, pay him. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/09/10/bills-jets-jordan-poyer-game-ball-pff/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will probably be his last year as a Buffalo Bill. Depends on his salary demands if they can agree to a figure the team and poyer's wife can live with he comes back. If not he signs with another team and for his efforts as a Bill I'd be happy if he manages to play well thru another contract. I'd welcome him back at a price that the team can work with. But if he wants more than they feel they can pay then he walks. Certainly hope he gets a ring with the Bills this year as he's earned it.

Let him walk in the offseason and test FA market and then sign him back to a cheap deal once he realizes his options are limited. Must resist… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's playing, I feel like it has to be. I tore my meniscus once (and I hate it when people do this, because there are a few dozen degrees of any injury). But I didn't need surgery, and I still couldn't even walk on it for weeks. If Poyer is healthy enough to keep up w/ some of the best receivers in the league, I doubt it's that bad. But huge credit to him - I'm sure it's still playing through pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
