In a public effort to get a new contract, Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer has missed the entirety of the team’s optional practices this offseason. In addition, his agent has told local media that Poyer has requested a new deal in Buffalo. The ball is clearly in the Bills’ collective court, but they still expect him back in town next week for mandatory minicamp.
General manager Brandon Beane said Tuesday that while he hasn’t spoken directly with Poyer recently, he also hasn’t received any indication that he will not attend minicamp.
Defensive coordinator/assistant head coach Leslie Frazier says he’s been texting back and forth with Poyer this offseason to keep him engaged.
