Goin Breakdown Posted July 31 Posted July 31 10 hours ago, Clyde Smith said: Duh! He can unretire if he wants. Unless wgr and Sal are wrong. He didn't retire. He's a free agent. He can sing with anyone but had stated that he only wants to play for the Bills if he plays at all. I'm going to guess we'll see Hyde in a Bill uniform mid to late season. 1 Quote
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted July 31 Posted July 31 We released a LB so dedicated that he changed his first name to Shayne (in honor of Shane Conlan) just because he spelled it wrong? That's cold. Quote
BobbyC81 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 11 hours ago, RyanC883 said: can he un-retire after training camp? I see a lot of "dirty player" comments. Is he actually a "dirty player", or does he hit too hard for today's NFL. Genuine question, I have no idea. Either way, terrible to be putting your team in a situation by not playing within the rules. Could Hyde just be avoiding another training camp? If he reports when it’s done, he’d have a couple weeks before season opener. 1 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted July 31 Posted July 31 Bills working out more safeties. Now you should worry. Quote

Safety is already big concern. Simmons would put that to ease but I’m sure it’s $$ or he would be off market long time ago 1 Quote
Jimmy Harris 69 Posted July 31 Posted July 31 “PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills signed veteran Kareem Jackson to a one-year deal Tuesday, as they continue to tweak their safety room to replace seven-year starters Jordan Poyerand Micah Hyde and adjust to injuries at the position. Jackson, 36, participated in the team's second padded practice after receiving a call from the Bills on Sunday night and arriving Monday, but did not take part in team drills on his first day. His signing comes after veteran Mike Edwardssuffered a hamstring injury. "Got the call and just the opportunity for me to get into camp, which is something that I wanted to do, and try to get in and try to compete with the guys and try to earn a spot," Jackson said. Coach Sean McDermott described Edwards as "week-to-week." Edwards' injury left Damar Hamlin and rookie Cole Bishop to compete for a starter role alongside likely starter Taylor Rapp, however, Bishop left Tuesday's practice early with an injury. Edwards also missed time in the spring with a shoulder injury. Broncos' Jackson feels singled out by NFL for hits. Jackson had a tumultuous 2023 season that included two suspensions (totaling six games), multiple fines ($89,670) and lost wages ($838,889 in salary) for repeated violations of unnecessary roughness rules. The suspensions came after Jackson, then with the Denver Broncos, was ejected from two games for hits on Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave and then-Minnesota Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs. He received four-game suspensions for both hits, but the punishment for the hit on Musgrave was reduced to two games after an appeal. The Broncos waived Jackson after he completed the second suspension, and he was claimed by the Houston Texans in December. "What I learned from last year, I learned that it's my responsibility to protect the offensive player. I still haven't quite figured out how I'm gonna do that, protect myself and do my job," Jackson said. "So, at the end of the day, I'm out here playing ball, I don't think about that stuff. That stuff was last year. At the end of the day, it's all about me going out and competing at a high level. So, whatever it takes to do that, I'm gonna do it, and I'll try my best to keep my money and to stay on the field." The 2010 No. 20 draft pick by the Texans has started 193 games. He has 22 interceptions, 954 tackles and 7 forced fumbles over 15 seasons.” It doesn’t hurt to have a veteran voice in there. Just two years ago he was talked about as having a strong season with Denver. He only played a third of 2023, perhaps he has something to prove. Jackson could have value in a limited role. Maybe he makes a big play in a big time moment, or he’s cut in August . 1 Quote
