Bills releasing veteran safety Jordan Poyer, source says

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- As the Bills make moves to get under the salary cap, the team is releasing a key member of the defense in captain and 2021 All-Pro Jordan Poyer, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.

The move will save the Bills about $5 million in cap space.

Poyer, 32, re-signed with the Bills last offseason on a two-year deal after exploring his free agency options. He initially signed with Buffalo in 2017, the first season under coach Sean McDermott, and paired with safety Micah Hyde, who also signed with the team in 2017, in the secondary for the past seven seasons.
