New York’s ORCHARD PARK (AP) Jim Salgado, the safety coach for the Buffalo Bills, was let go, according to a source who spoke with The Associated Press on Thursday.

The source granted permission to speak anonymously to the AP because the bills have not made the move official. The firing was first reported by ESPN.com.

Salgado just finished his first season coaching safeties and his sixth season with Buffalo. In 2017, he made his debut with the team as a defensive assistant. In 2020, he was elevated to the position of nickel cornerback supervisor.

Salgado was fired a few days after the Bills’ season came to an end on Sunday when they lost to Cincinnati 27-10 in the playoff divisional round. Additionally, it comes after a year in which injuries reduced Buffalo’s depth at safety, the most prominent of which was the cardiac arrest of Damar Hamlin on January 2 in Cincinnati, which required on-field resuscitation.

Hamlin is still recovering, and he was well enough to go to Buffalo’s most recent game.

After being hurt in Week 2, veteran starter Micah Hyde underwent surgery to repair a herniated disk, so Hamlin was starting in his place. Conversely, Jordan Poyer, the starter, played through a variety of injuries for most of the season.

During his end-of-season news conference on Monday, coach Sean McDermott declined to discuss any possible staff changes, citing the need for additional time for evaluation. Although McDermott did not address his secondary, he did express his dissatisfaction with Buffalo’s defensive line performance, particularly in light of pass rusher Von Miller’s season-ending knee injury suffered in November.

After finishing the regular season with a 13-3 record, matching a single-season record for wins, and winning the AFC East for the third time in a row, Buffalo’s season came to an abrupt end.

The Bills’ secondary, which was once the team’s strongest suit, was made up of a rotating cast of players overall. Tre’Davious White, the starting cornerback, missed the first three months of the season due to a knee injury. Buffalo divided the other starting cornerback spot among three players—including rookie first-round pick Kaiir Elam—due to injuries and patchy play.
