The Buffalo Bills have had an interesting 2024 off-season, to say the least. They lost three of their leaders in Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Stefon Diggs. Not only was that a ton of on field production they lost, but locker room leadership as well.
The 2024 Bills will look a lot different than last year, and one reason for that was a late addition to the team during training camp. That addition, however, didn’t go over well with a lot of fans.
The Buffalo Bills Add Questionable Player To Their Defense
Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reported on the move Tuesday Morning:
The Buffalo Bills signed veteran Kareem Jackson to a one-year deal Tuesday, as they continue to tweak their safety room to replace seven-year starters Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde and adjust to injuries at the position.
Jackson, 36, participated in the team’s second padded practice after receiving a call from the Bills on Sunday night and arriving Monday, but did not take part in team drills on his first day. His signing comes after veteran Mike Edwards suffered a hamstring injury.
“Got the call and just the opportunity for me to get into camp, which is something that I wanted to do, and try to get in and try to compete with the guys and try to earn a spot,” Jackson said.
Coach Sean McDermott described Edwards as “week-to-week.” Edwards’ injury left Damar Hamlin and rookie Cole Bishop to compete for a starter role alongside likely starter Taylor Rapp, however, Bishop left Tuesday’s practice early with an injury. Edwards also missed time in the spring with a shoulder injury.

So we release Poyer to get younger just to sign a older guy, is he getting the vet minimum?
