NFL star's wife reacts to him turning up for mini camp without contract extension
NFL star Jordan Poyer has turned up to the Buffalo Bills' mini camp without a contract extension. Poyer, who is one of the best safeties in the league, was reportedly set to skip the camp as contract talks remain at a standstill.
Despite this, he was present for the Bills' mini camp and his wife Rachel Bush took to Twitter to react to her husband's return. Bush said:
"My husband is the hardest working man I know. ❤️ So dedicated and driven."

Poyer was not present for the Bills OTAs, which was expected, but the star safety made his presence felt at mini camp. The 31-year-old is in the final year of his deal and is coming off a solid 2021-22 NFL season in which he earned All-Pro honors. He managed a career-high five interceptions and was a major contributor for his team throughout the campaign.
However, the Buffalo Bills were dumped out of the playoffs by Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in one of the best contests in recent times.
Poyer is slated to earn $10.8 million in the upcoming season, which would make him the sixth-highest-paid safety in the NFL. But as far as annual salary goes, he is 12th and wants an increase.
The current market will dictate what Poyer is paid. Minnesota Vikings star Harrison Smith will be making $16 million this coming season, so it is rumored that Poyer will want to be around that mark with his new deal.
Buffalo Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL
Picked by many to win next year's Super Bowl, the Buffalo Bills will be one of the teams to beat. They have an offense that can put up points at will with Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, O.J. Howard, Jamison Crowder, Isaiah McKenzie and Dawson Knox.
They also boast a robust defense. The Bills notably added Von Miller to their ranks to complement Poyer, Micah Hyde, Tre'Davious White, Shaq Lawson and Matt Milano.
