The Buffalo Bills enter the offseason with free agency as their first major hurdle. With a number of players of their own to re-sign, including Pro Bowl LB Tremaine Edmunds, who could become one of the highest paid linebackers in the NFL.

However, Edmunds is only the second-highest evaluated free agent on the Bills. The highest valued player, has been in Buffalo for six years. Who is already hinting on his potential way out.

Safety Jordan Poyer is coming off his sixth season in Buffalo. The 10 year veteran will be 32 next season but his continued elite play in the third level of the defense is still going to attract suitors.

His estimated value is as much as $13 million a year, with $11 million/year as the market base. Of which would make him the 13th-highest paid safety in the league on a per season average.

It's easy to see why despite his age, he is valued so high.

His six seasons with the Buffalo Bills have made him one of the best yet underrated defensive players in the league. With totals of:

• 408 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 22 interceptions, 10 sacks, seven forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and 44 pass breakups. Earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors.

The Bills currently are about $20 million over the cap. Even with the salary cap increased to $224 million, not factoring rollover.

It is seeming more and more likely that Buffalo will be forced to allow their long-time safety to find the money elsewhere. Poyer is likely going to seek his last 'big money' contract with enough fully guarantees to earn his services.

Given where the Bills are with their current cap situation and GM Brandon Beane's warning of a more frugal offseason, it may be the last we see of No. 21 in Ralph Wilson Stadium.
