Poyer Back to Buffalo! Bills Re-Sign All-Pro Safety - Breaking News!

Buffalo Bills fans, rejoice! The Bills are bringing back a familiar face to bolster their secondary: former All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer. After a year spent with the Miami Dolphins, Poyer is returning to Buffalo, where he spent seven seasons and established himself as a key player for the Bills Mafia.

Poyer's Return Addresses Safety Concerns

The news, first reported by Jordan Schultz, has sent waves of excitement through the Bills fanbase. The Bills have been facing concerns at the safety position during training camp, making Poyer's return a timely and welcome addition to the roster. It remains to be seen whether Poyer will join the active roster or the practice squad, but his experience and leadership will undoubtedly be valuable assets.

Poyer, 34, was initially drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft. After brief stints with the Eagles and the Cleveland Browns, he found his home in Buffalo in 2017. Alongside Micah Hyde, Poyer formed one of the most formidable safety duos in the NFL. His contributions were recognized with a First-team All-Pro selection in 2021 and a Pro Bowl appearance in 2022.

A Look Back at Poyer's Career

During his previous stint with the Bills, Poyer signed a four-year, $13 million deal in 2017 and later agreed to a two-year extension worth $20.5 million. After playing out that deal, he joined the Dolphins on a one-year contract in 2024, where he recorded 98 total tackles and three pass deflections in 16 games.

What This Means for the Bills

With Damar Hamlin and Cole Bishop raising questions about the long-term stability of the secondary, the Bills are clearly hoping that Poyer's return will inject new life into the defense. His experience and familiarity with the Bills' system should allow him to make an immediate impact. The Bills Mafia is eager to welcome back one of their own and see what Poyer can bring to the team in the upcoming season.
