The Dolphins and Poyer agreed to terms on a one-year, $2 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Poyer will stay in the AFC East after spending the previous seven seasons with the Bills before being released by Buffalo in a cap move last week. Poyer turns 33 years old next month but did make the Pro Bowl in 2022 after being named a first-team All-Pro in 2021. Last season, Poyer started 16 games and finished with 100 tackles (66 solo), including one sack, and four pass breakups. It was his first season without an interception since 2016 with the Browns.

The Dolphins and Poyer agreed to terms on a one-year, $2 million contract Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Poyer will stay in the AFC East after spending the previous seven seasons with the Bills before being released by Buffalo in a cap move last week. Poyer turns 33 years old next month but did make the Pro Bowl in 2022 after being named a first-team All-Pro in 2021. Last season, Poyer started 16 games and finished with 100 tackles (66 solo), including one sack, and four pass breakups. It was his first season without an interception since 2016 with the Browns.
The Bills will release Poyer on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network the Bills will move on from the veteran safety in an effort to open up salary-cap space ahead of free agency. Poyer, who had one season remaining on a two-year, $12.5 million deal that he signed last March, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he racked up 101 tackles and one sack in 16 contests.
Poyer tied with Terrel Bernard for the most tackles in Thursday's game, and the former is second behind the latter in total tackles on the year with 42. Poyer is on pace to surpass his total tackles mark of 63 last year and could crack 100-plus tackles for the first time since 2020. He'll look to add to his numbers in Week 9 against the Bengals.
