Could Bills tag/extend Poyer?

he has no trade value.

 

I agree, which is why I wouldn't tag him. I was trying to make some sense out of it.

 This is what happens when you never make any hard decisions and constantly bring everybody back on the defensive side of the ball. Plus rookies and young players never get developed.  Are Poyer and Edmunds the right guys to draw the line on?  I think I’d rather bring those 2 back than keep Oliver, Tre White, or Taron Johnson.  Settle too.  

When healthy Poyer is a better football player then Edmunds and Oliver.  And Tre White as well, if he looks next year like he did at the end of this season.  Settle was lousy this year.  And that was a big disappointment.  I am a big Poyer fan.  Sure he was not real good at the end of the year.  But if he can get well.  (Meniscus tear is not overly major in today's game) and will take a reasonable two year deal, (no guarantee) I would keep him and Taron Johnson, who makes a lot of tackles, and try and find replacements for the rest of the guys you mentioned.

Poyer, his beautiful wife, and his loan shark agent chewing on a toothpick and flipping a nickel, (pictured here)

have all made the bat signal of “overpay me.”

Poyer made the case to be paid by being an iron man this season, and not holding out preseason. His media postulation and his wife’s social media have played their parts perfectly. He comes off looking wronged and undervalued. Hats off to the bull. Rosenhaus has completed the sweep and the FO looks duped.

Poyer will most likely get a 3-year $30M contract even at his age from some team with a young secondary.

He'd be a perfect fit for someone like the Bears.  Big city will please the wife and so would the money!

It's La Canfora. He throws stuff at the wall every off-season. There's no point of even entertaining what he "reports".

 

Yes.  Many call him La Conjuncture.

You don’t overpay a 32 year old safety, that’s stupidity. If he wants to sign on a 1 yr $5M deal or so fine, but this is a gross misuse of resources if we give him $14M.

[John from Riverside]

So my question is if we let Tremaine Edmunds go in free agency does resigning Poirier become more likely

[DCofNC]

No way you tag him, the basis of his extension is then directly tied to the 14M number. What’s the best bargain you are going to drive?  Hey JP, take 2 years for 18M and we won’t “force” you to take $14.4 M guaranteed this year.. riiight.

Poyer is not going to be resigned, he walks.  To many other holes to fix and Micah is coming back anyway.

Poyer seemed washed at the end of the year and playoffs. It’s possible he was just banged up and he’d be back to normal after healing up in the offseason. Seems risky and expensive though.

"Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post writes that Bills S Jordan Poyer is a candidate to be franchise-tagged by the team this offseason. The tag would be $14.46 million and give Buffalo until mid-July to work on an extension for the veteran Poyer, who turns 32 in April."

 

Does this make any sense?

no makes no sense. Bills would need to clear cap space for that 14.46 million and Poyer then holds the cards. He could threaten to sign it and lock in that Bills cap hit for one year at 14.46 mill or hold out for deal to his liking while Bills nervously wait to see what he does and hamstring them on other moves as this ties up much needed cap space to get better where more needed.  Like O line.

[BBills_88]

Can we move on from poyer, I rather draft a younger more athletic S or grab 1 in FA. 

 

Yes, he was great, but we cannot keep players forever. He is getting older, his body not holding up the same.

Odds are they walk away from Poyer and Edmunds.   Try draft picks or FAs (cheaper ones).  This defense will be in the mid teens and the Bills will try to win with overwhelming offense.  Random late night opinion.
