Bills' Micah Hyde roasts players who didn't sign with Buffalo

Buffalo Bills one-time Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde recently put pen to paper on a two-year extension with the club that keeps him under contract through the 2023 season. On Friday, he spoke about playing for the team that fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game and about those who previously signed elsewhere. 

"They’re going on visits and I’d be like, ‘Hey man, come to Buffalo.’ They’d be like, ‘I’m cool. I’m gonna go somewhere else,'" Hyde said, per Matt Parrino of NewYorkUpstate.com. "Well you know what? At the end of the day I bet they’re pretty pissed off they didn’t take those visits to Buffalo. Now they’re probably sitting on their trash team or sitting on the couch somewhere else because they didn’t come to Buffalo."

Hyde spent his first four NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers, the team that drafted him in 2013, before he signed with the Bills in March 2017. He earned what remains his only Pro Bowl selection his debut season with the Bills and has evolved into a key contributor for a championship-caliber defense alongside fellow safety Jordan Poyer, who is on a deal through 2022. 

"There’s just a lot of guys that think Buffalo is the old Buffalo, not winning and all that," Hyde added. "It’s disrespect because the city is an amazing city. The team and organization are amazing. At the end of the day we’re trying to win football games, and if you don’t want to be in Buffalo, don’t come. … If I’m able to finish my career in Buffalo, that’s the ultimate plan."

Ahead of the start of the new NFL year that opens March 17, the Bills are favorites to repeat as winners of the AFC East.
