Bills Signing Jordan Poyer Would Be 'Dope' Fantasy Career Ending

Jordan Poyer was a longtime mainstay in the Buffalo Bills' defense backfield, manning the safety position as one of the team's leaders for head coach Sean McDermott.

Poyer's Bills tenure came to an end last offseason, when he was one of several veterans who were released as Buffalo reshaped their roster for 2024. Poyer stayed in the AFC East, inking a deal with the Miami Dolphins. Poyer played 16 games with the club, but was not brought back.

Poyer is now a free agent once again, and in an interview with NFL Network's Good Morning Football on Wednesday, Poyer said he wants to play in the upcoming NFL season - with one place in particular - Buffalo.

“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.

“It’d be dope, it’d be ideal to have a fantasy ending and be able to retire a Bill, but who knows? I’m just being an open book right now, really enjoying life for what it is.”

Poyer added that while he's thankful for all the organizations and cities he's played for, Buffalo is home for him.

“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.”

Poyer played for four different NFL teams in his career, but none for as long as he did Buffalo. He played in 107 games for the Bills, deflecting 48 passes and intercepting 22, while making 11 sacks and 682 tackles.
