Micah Hyde makes first comments on possible return to Bills
The Buffalo Bills are in the midst of the offseason and have made several changes to their roster over the past few months. One of the lingering questions for Buffalo this summer was whether to bring back the player who has been the mainstay of the defense since the 2017 season. Cornerback Jordan Poyer was cut by the Bills due to salary cap reasons and ultimately signed with the Miami Dolphins, but Micah Hyde did not. Hyde, 33, was scheduled to become a free agent and was considering his retirement. It remains unsigned.
Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane indicated last week that he would not hold Hyde back to answer questions about whether he would return. However, Hyde still made the first comment about his thought process. However, Hyde admitted he was still making a decision.
“I don’t know yet,” Hyde said over the WGR-550 radio about his plans for next season. Buffalo is currently preparing for the 2024 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday, and is looking to add young talent to a team that released several veterans this offseason.
Hyde is still training every day in case he decides to play in the NFL next season, but he said he’s taking the time to make the “most informed decision” he can. Told. Hyde had suffered several injuries to his neck in recent years, which could have further compromised his health, and he seriously considered retiring from the sport.
One good thing that should make Bills fans more optimistic is that Hyde said that if he decides to play in the NFL next season, he only “imagines” playing for the Bills. As a reminder, Hyde appeared in just two games during the 2022 season after being placed on injured reserve after being taken to the hospital with his neck injury.
