Bills sign one-time Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde to two-year extension

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that they've signed safety Micah Hyde to a two-year contract extension that now links him with the franchise through the 2023 NFL season. 

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted that the deal is worth $19.25 million and that Hyde's salary-cap hit "remains essentially the same." 

The Green Bay Packers drafted Hyde in 2013, and he signed a five-year deal with Buffalo in March 2017. He earned his first and, to date, only Pro Bowl nod his debut season with the Bills and was named a second-team All-Pro that same year. 

Hyde recorded 70 tackles, one interception and five passes defended this past season. Since his rookie year with the Packers, he has accumulated 17 career picks.

Per Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, the Bills also have fellow safety Jordan Poyer locked down through 2022. According to Matt Warren of Buffalo Rumblings, however, the Bills could save nearly $7 million in cap space by parting ways with Poyer after the 2021 season.
