    Bills' safety named realistic NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate

    In a landscape as everchanging as that of the NFL, continuity—and sustained excellence—at a particular position is becoming an increasingly rare commodity.

Reality—and Mother Nature—caught up with the Bills in the 2024 NFL offseason, however, as the team allowed both safeties to depart (cutting Poyer while letting Hyde's contract expire). The motivation for the decision was obvious—both Hyde and Poyer are now 33 years of age, and given Buffalo's current salary cap situation, allotting significant money to two aging defensive backs simply wasn't an advantageous proposition; that said, it's still going to be strange watching any other players lineup for the team at safety.

    Josh Allen On the Bills' New Era and Ripping His Pants in Paris

    Things are a little different in Josh Allen's world these days. When his Buffalo Bills report to mandatory minicamp in June, they'll do so without Stefon Diggs, Tre'Davious White, Jordan Poyer, and several other mainstays from recent years. In addition to his new-look football team, Allen is part of a new-look Gatorade ad. This week, the company relaunches that campaign with the help of Allen, Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, and Jayson Tatum.
