Jordan Poyer returns to Buffalo, signing with the Bills’ practice squad after a rough year in Miami. The reunion brings a veteran safety back to a defense he helped build from 2017–2023, trading a difficult 2024 season for a fresh chance at contributing at a high level. His goal is clear: work hard, aid the defense, and stay ready for a potential elevation to the active roster.

Last season with the Dolphins, Poyer logged 98 tackles and three pass breakups across 16 starts, but the year yielded no forced fumbles or interceptions and a concerning 17 missed tackles per Pro Football Focus. The move underscores Buffalo’s emphasis on depth at safety and the chance for Poyer to regain prior form and become a meaningful factor for fantasy managers should he crack the lineup and contribute in coverage and run support.

For fantasy leaguers, the narrative centers on roster elevations and opportunity. If Poyer earns a spot on the 53, his veteran presence and playmaking instincts could unlock value in deeper leagues, especially if injuries or rotations create snaps at the back end. The Bills’ defensive scheme and safety rotation will be key to monitoring through camp and the preseason.
