The Buffalo Bills spent the 2024 season working in new safeties after their long-time pairing of Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde departed.
Now, Poyer wants to come back.
After spending the 2024 season with the Dolphins, Poyer is now a free agent.
The 34-year old joined Good Morning Football on Wednesday and shared his thoughts on his future.
“I love the game, you know? I’m in a place right now where I played 12 years, extremely thankful and blessed to have played the game for such a long time,” Poyer said. “Last year was an extremely tough year on so many levels. Our team wasn’t very good. I didn’t play as well as I wanted to play. It was just a really tough year. Obviously, transitioning from Buffalo to Miami, cultures being different, systems being different, it just didn’t work out the way that anybody had hoped. But at the same time, I’m thankful for it all, thankful for all the moments, all the friendships. Would I like to play again? Absolutely. Whatever that looks like."

Then, Poyer spelled out what he hopes that looks like.
“It’d be dope, it’d be ideal to have a fantasy ending and be able to retire a Bill, but who knows?" he said. "I’m just being an open book right now, really enjoying life for what it is.”
Poyer joined the Bills in 2017 and started 107 games in Buffalo.
He had 22 interceptions for the Bills.
“My heart is always going to be there,” Poyer said. “I’m just playing it by ear right now, but would I love to play? Absolutely.”
There's definitely still room in the Bills' secondary for Poyer, even after an NFL Draft focused almost entirely on defense.
Stay tuned to see if Buffalo looks into Poyer as training camp approaches. They certainly know what they'd be getting.
