Orchard Park, N.Y. (WGR 550/WBEN) - With the Buffalo Bills moving on from Jordan Poyer and likely Micah Hyde this offseason at the safety position, the team is bringing back Taylor Rapp on a new three-year contract. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reports the deal is worth up to $14.5 million.
Rapp joined the Bills last offseason after spending the first four years of his career with the Los Angeles Rams. In 16 games played for Buffalo in 2023, the 26-year-old started four games at safety, registering 50 total tackles, two passes defended, 0.5 sacks and an interception.
Despite playing as a backup to Poyer and Hyde for a majority of the season, Rapp still did get 42% of the total defensive snaps this regular season, while also contributing on special teams in nearly half of the total snaps this year.
Rapp is now just one of two safeties under contract for the 2024 season in Buffalo along with Damar Hamlin.
