Poyer released

[Dablitzkrieg]

$7.5 mill saved with the release.   Still,  stings, but necessary.  Such a great part of the turnaround 

[CNYfan]

What is the money aspect?

[Bills!Win!]

Starting safeties Rapp and a CB?

Thanks for the memories and your wife’s mammaries. 
 

 

 

I wish they would let me post several reactions lol

[MJS]

Great player. I wish him the best.

 

I remember when he first got here and I saw that he was going to be a starter with Hyde. I was concerned. He was a nobody. I thought it was a mistake. I was comfortable with Hyde given what he did in Green Bay.

 

But he went and balled out year after year.

The safety room is gonna be pretty much 100% different. I hope getting rid of the one person that knows the defense doesn’t backfire.

The Fred Jackson of the defense. Relentless effort through pain and adversity. Team leader.

I advocated for this and think it's the right move, but never though they'd actually do it. 

 

Not gonna lie.. this stings a bit.   

 

It does sting but we all knew these moves were coming at some point. 

[HappyDays]

Great news!! This tells me Beane understands the kind of offseason this needs to be.

 

All that being said I will always appreciate what the Hyde/Poyer tandem meant to us and it sucks that it has to end so abruptly. 

[SoonerBillsFan]

First, thank you man!   Second, we gotta take this hit now to re-tool.  We aren't all of a sudden going to not be competitive.  "Running it back" needed to stop.

[Sweats]

Hey, i love the guy but he's been missing a step the last couple of years......getting a little banged up and slowing down a bit.

 

A tough decision overall, but tough choices have to be made.

With the 28th pick in the first round, the Buffalo Bills select, Tyler Nubin, Safety, Minnesota.

Strangely, completely by coinincidence, I wsa in visiting Buffalo the day they signed him.  Me and my nephew went into a card shop.  He purchased an old pack of cards, and he pulled an autograph Poyer rookie card.  We thought it was a good omen.  He will be missed

Really? That's his salary or we actually save $7.5M in cap space this year? If it's cap savings then yes this has to be done.

Seeing legends leave always makes me sad

He and Hyde didn't know it when they got here. Time for someone else to learn it.

[Charles Romes]
