CBS Sports: Jordan Poyer is Bills’ ‘most underappreciated’ player
You can consider CBS Sports as one outlet that thinks the Buffalo Bills should pay Jordan Poyer.
In naming the “most underappreciated” player for each NFL team, the one on the Bills selected was the safety. Of course, this comes about at a particularly intriguing time.
Poyer is currently looking for a contract extension in Buffalo. All signs indicate that he wants to remain with the Bills, but there has yet to be a deal struck between the two sides.
The 30-year-old makes up half of an impressive duo the Bills have at safety. The other piece of that is Micah Hyde, but it was Poyer who was named a first-team, All-Pro just last season.
That, plus Poyer’s expiring contract after 2022, are factors in the discussion for his potential next deal in Buffalo.
In terms of Poyer being underappreciated, here’s how CBS Sports broke it down:
There was only one player in the NFL who had three sacks and three interceptions last season — that would be Jordan Poyer. The Bills have an excellent secondary, but Poyer has been a rock on that unit for several seasons as he’s missed just two games in his five years in Buffalo.
Since joining the Bills in 2017, Poyer is the only player with 500 tackles (505), 15 interceptions (18), and 10 sacks (10). He’s the only player with 90 tackles and two interceptions in each of the last five seasons. Despite all this success, Poyer still hasn’t made a Pro Bowl but was a first-team All-Pro last year.
