Jordan Poyer’s gone and Micah Hyde is a pending free agent.
But Taylor Rapp is going nowhere.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rapp has signed a three-year extension with the Buffalo Bills.
Rapp, 26, signed with the Bills last year on a one-year contract. He served as a backup to both Poyer and Hyde and played in certain packages which put all three on the field at once.
In his first season with the Bills, Rapp accounted for 50 total tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, half a sack, two pass breakups, an interception, and a fumble recovery. He appeared on 421 defensive snaps and another 191 on special teams.
What’s certainly going to be different now is his role on the defense. With Poyer out, Rapp is likely sliding into his starting spot. Damar Hamlin and Kendall Williamson are the only other safeties under contract with the Bills currently.
Rapp was originally a second-round draft choice of the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 NFL draft.
Bills Wire will continue to provide free agency updates throughout the 2024 offseason.
