The Buffalo Bills left the door open before the season for veteran safety Micah Hyde to return for a final run with the team.
An insider believes that with five games left in the regular season and a fifth-straight AFC East title clinched, now is the perfect time for Hyde to walk through it.
The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia wrote that it “makes sense” for the Bills to bring back Hyde for the final stretch of the season, providing a trusted veteran. Bills general manager Brandon Beane had been open to the idea of Hyde returning, and Buscaglia believes the team may have a pending roster opening that would fit perfectly.
Micah Hyde Ready to Return
Hyde had been a favorite among fans and a mainstay in the Bills’ secondary since joining the team as a free agent in 2017, joining with Jordan Poyer to create one of the league’s top safety tandems. When his contract expired at the conclusion of the 2023 season, Hyde said he would only consider returning for one more season if he played for the Bills — but stressed that he wanted to spend more time with his family.
Buscaglia suggested that the timing may be perfect for Hyde to return now, having gotten to spend several months including the Thanksgiving holiday with his wife and children. The Bills are also in strong contention for the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, giving Hyde a chance at the Super Bowl he has badly wanted.
