Originally selected in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft, the former Oregon State product became one of the reasons why the Bills have been flourishing for the past five seasons since 2017. However, he was no longer a part of the team anymore since he no longer fit the Bill to remain in Buffalo, so he spent just one campaign with the Miami Dolphins, missing his first postseason in a while.<\/p>\n<p>Poyer is a Pro Bowler who put 12 sacks, recovered nine fumble recoveries and notched 904 total tackles. He has the talent to be great again, but since he\u2019s aging, Poyer will probably only garner a one-year deal. With that, this should interest the Ravens, who probably need a safety to help\u00a0Kyle Hamilton\u00a0alongside him\u00a0despite drafting first-round pick of this year, Malaki Starks.\u00a0The good news is that Poyer doesn\u2019t need to start to make an impact on this defense.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Ravens are obviously a rival team for the Bills, there could be other teams that may become interested in Poyer. The safety could garner some type of interest, so here are two teams that may fit better if Poyer refuses to sign a deal with the Ravens.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_165096\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-165096\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-165096\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-300x200.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players-1320x880.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/03\/Bills-Release-Veteran-Players.jpg 1967w\" alt=\"Potential trade destinations Higgins\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-165096\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (21) and cornerback Tre\u2019Davious White (27) collide over Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (85) as they cover a deep pass in the fourth quarter of the NFL divisional playoff football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills, Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023, at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.

They couldn\u2019t win any ballgames or even be close in several matchups because of their defense. However, the good news is that they signed\u00a0Justin Reid\u00a0to a worthy contract, even though the Saints are in debt.\u00a0If Mickey Loomis could pull that off, they could afford at least a one-year deal for Poyer to bring some extra juice to this secondary.<\/p>\n<p>The Saints still have a lot of holes in their cornerback department, and there\u2019s not much hope in\u00a0Kool-Aid McKinstry\u00a0and Alontae Taylor. These two have a lot of potential, but nothing on the level of Poyer could provide. Even though Poyer is no cornerback, he could make an impact behind Tyrann Mathieu in rotation as a capable veteran duo to keep this roster intact, regardless of the rough offseason the offense is sustaining.<\/p>\n<h3>Help for Trevon Moehrig<\/h3>\n<p>However, the Carolina Panthers are still in the market for a safety.\u00a0Trevon Moehrig is a blockbuster addition to this pass secondary, but they still need a capable upgrade over Nick Scott. Poyer is a better fit in the Panthers\u2019 situation, that have a promising quarterback and a new offense that is ready to endure a huge turnaround. The safety could boost this secondary to levels the Panthers haven\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free agent safety Jordan Poyer wants to return to Buffalo for one last season, but the Baltimore Ravens could intervene in the reunion.
