So here's the way I was thinking of it. He did not leave on bad terms. No one said that. He didn't say that. I think he loved this time with the Bills. It was his time to try to cash in. But, boy, the league looks at things in a certain way. And I'm sorry, I'm reading these guys saying, oh, look at the tape. Look at where it is. That guy played on one leg last year and one elbow. I mean, he was banged up, so broken ribs. Exactly. So you want to go after him for missing some plays. The fact that he was on the field last year. I told you, in all my years covering the Bills, I've never seen a guy in his circumstance, contract wise, put it on the line like he did last year, to be out there. It would have been easy for him to say, I'm done. Right. He would have been easy for him to sit out more games. He was vital to that team. And I think at the right price, they wanted him back. And, Dan, this is what we always talk about, at the right price. And the team sort of dictates this. When a player gets to a certain age, I think they would have said, you know what? He's going to get paid more if he goes to the Dolphins or he goes to the Giants or wherever he goes. But then all of a sudden he looked around and said, that's not there for me. Yeah, I'm coming back. And the Bills welcome him back. It wasn't, we don't want this guy anymore. It's that we have to figure what price we want to pay him.

Yeah. On the last video we did about two hours ago on the signing of Deontay Hardy, there was some disagreements. I think we're unanimous, unanimously, in love with bringing Jordan Poyer back. I. Mike, you talked about how it would have been easier for him to sit out games. In my opinion, he could have set out this whole year to get a new contract. Like. Like this guy put it all night. I remember training camp when he wasn't at voluntary meetings, and everybody's like, keisha, just gotta play. The guy went out there and played at an all Pro Level like, this guy literally played the best season of his career battling all those elements. So, like the all 22 gurus that sit in their mom's basement and are going to tell me that he's missing plays, I'm just not going to buy it. So that guy was so vitally important. And there will be changes to this defense. And I was starting to look at it. I was going. I was looking at the Bengals who had lost both of their starting safeties. And I'm sitting there and I'm going, the Eagles defense losing a lot of guys. And I'm sitting there going, man, the Bills are going to need to replace Poyer and Edmonds and a defensive coordinator. And I'm going, man, this is a lot of change. This is massive for the defense to bring back stability. Mike, you talked about it before young cornerbacks that they probably are going to have to have Hyde employer. And we have been saying for forever on this channel, this is a defense that has been built back to front, not the other way around. They are. While trained. Edmonds has been the quarterback of the defense and Milano has been probably the most important player. They have been the safety blankets that have covered up a lot of inconsistent play in front of them.
