Before free agency began, the Buffalo Bills unexpectedly released a number of important veterans. It’s unknown, though, if safety Micah Hyde, who has played for Buffalo for seven seasons, would be leaving as well.
After his two-year, $19.25 million contract ended after the 2023 NFL season, Hyde is now formally a free agent. The 33-year-old is thinking about retiring, but he still plans to play softball every year for charity.
On Wednesday, April 17, the seasoned fan favourite shared the news on his Instagram Stories. “Bills Mafia, even though I’m not on the team right now, I want you all to know how special this is to not only myself but my entire family,” he wrote.
“Our unwavering dedication over the past three years has taken this game to new heights.”
Hyde mentioned that he is using this year’s funds for something “special.” “Every participating player who has a foundation or donor advised fund” will receive funding. With that, we will collaborate as a team to improve our beloved community in a number of ways.
Donors who are ready to spend $1,000 can get an intimate meet-and-greet with Hyde on the field during the fourth annual charity game. There’s a Home Run Derby tournament prior to the game, which pits the offence of the Bills against the defence and quarterback Josh Allen.
After being released, safety Jordan Poyer signed with the Miami Dolphins, but his former All-Pro teammate might possibly make a comeback.
Brandon, general manager of the Bills “Beane stated that the Bills “certainly wouldn’t shut the door to ever bringing a Micah Hyde back if he chose to play,” adding that he doesn’t believe Micah Hyde has “shut the door” on playing. On March 24, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN posted. “Beane stressed that he is unsure of Hyde’s decision at this time.”
With a history of neck issues, Hyde was thinking about calling it quits following the 2023 NFL season. After the Bills were eliminated from the playoffs, he said to reporters, “I just have no idea what the future holds right now.” I’m going to take a seat.
