Josh Allen, the quarterback, is still highly regarded by Jordan Poyer, despite his seven-year tenure with the Buffalo Bills.
On May 19, Poyer made a trip back to Buffalo to play in former teammate Micah Hyde’s charity softball game. After the game, Poyer used the occasion to speak to the assembled fans. The Miami Dolphins safety delivered a statement about Allen that he acknowledged would come across as a little controversial, all the while expressing his gratitude to the Buffalo supporters who helped him during his seven seasons there.
Regarding his stint with the Bills, Poyer remarked, “I enjoyed every second of it.” “I apologise for not being able to complete it, but your quarterback is the best in the league.” That might go viral, I know, but that’s alright.Although Poyer has never held back when thanking Allen, the statement garnered notice because Poyer currently plays quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
One fan commented on X, “Not Jordan Poyer having Tua as his QB now but still saying Josh Allen [is] the best QB in the league.” Indeed, Poyer said. “I’m engaged in football.”
Poyer has also expressed his admiration for the Dolphins organisation, stating that he was thrilled to be a part of the team’s growth when he was in Buffalo.
In an April 10 broadcast on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Poyer stated, “Obviously, I’ve been in the AFC East for seven years, so I’ve been able to watch them grow as a football team.” “Just paying attention to Mike, but I know quite a few others on that squad who have helped me with my transition as well. He is a very respected instructor and a wonderful person in my opinion. His off-field tale has had a similar effect on me and my story. All of that was taken into consideration when deciding to travel to Miami, but it was made easier by the fact that I resided in South Florida during the off-season.
With All-Pro teammates Poyer and Hyde holding sway at safety for Buffalo for the previous seven seasons, the Bills’ secondary will be drastically different coming into 2024. The team is anticipated to turn to returning veteran Taylor Rapp and free agent addition Mike Edwards, with second-round rookie Cole Bishop probably in the mix, as Poyer was released in March and Hyde became an unrestricted free agent.
Additionally, Hyde has left the possibility of a comeback open. The seasoned safety told reporters on May 16 while on his way back to Buffalo for his charity function that he is only thinking about two choices for the upcoming campaign.
Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 reported that Hyde stated, “It’s Bills or retire.”
