Overview

  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed Poyer’s agreement to rejoin Buffalo, with the reunion first reported by Jordan Schultz.
  • Poyer will start on the practice squad under NFL rules that allow three game-day elevations before a 53-man roster move is required.
  • Coach Sean McDermott has not settled on a starter next to Taylor Rapp, with Cole Bishop and Damar Hamlin in the mix as the opener approaches.
  • Poyer spent 2017–2023 with the Bills, earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021 and a Pro Bowl nod in 2022 as part of a long-running tandem with Micah Hyde.
  • He started 16 games for Miami in 2024, logging 98 tackles and playing roughly 96% of defensive snaps, reinforcing both durability and immediate depth value for Buffalo.
