Bills Reunite With Pro Bowl Safety Jordan Poyer Before Season

The Buffalo Bills have signed former All-Pro safety Jordan Poyer, bringing him back to the team after a season with the Miami Dolphins. Poyer, who played seven seasons with the Bills and earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2022, is expected to join the practice squad and serve in a mentorship and depth role similar to the one filled by Micah Hyde when he returned to Buffalo. His return aims to bolster a Bills secondary that struggled in the preseason, particularly in the defensive backfield. Poyer's career with Buffalo includes 22 interceptions, 48 passes defended, and 11 sacks, making him a key figure in the team's defense during his previous tenure. The Bills’ current safety group, led by Taylor Rapp and Cole Bishop, will benefit from Poyer's experience both on and off the field. Though primarily a locker room presence this season, Poyer’s return is seen as a strategic move to support younger players and provide depth in case of injuries.
