Nasty Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Well this topic really doesn't hold any ground anymore since CJ got hurt this past Sunday, but the one thing I wanted to ask this board was, who they would have chosen CJ vs Hughes as far as the big free agent we keep. Both are in the final year of their rookie contract and both have put up some good numbers through their initial contracts. So who would you choose if you could only sign 1? Myself I would choose Hughes simply because our D-Line is historic right now and it is harder to find a solid pass rusher then it is to find a productive running back. I love CJ and I really hope we find a way to keep them both in the off season. If CJ is the team player he say he Is, he would consider what had happened to him (as unfortunate as it may be) and sig an incentive laden contract giving us the ability to sign Hughes to the contract he deserves. But I think before we do that and it might throw a monkey wrench in the whole thing, we need to sign Dareus to an extension before his rookie contract runs out and before we sign one of the two or both of the free agents mentioned above. Get to work Whaley!!!
Smiley Dear Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 No one is picking CJ over Hughes. Not even CJ
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hughes by a billion. And that's an understatement. I would pay Hughes whatever he wanted; guys like him are hard to find. Gotta re-sign Hughes and dareus. Critical.
Gray Beard Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Re-sign Hughes... As long as you can get him out into space
Max997 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hughes obviously but it's going to take A LOT more to resign him then it will for Spiller
Augie Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 I love CJ but this a true no brainer. I'd like to provide the counter point, but I just can't...... (I mean I could, but even I wouldn't believe myself.) And I DO love CJ. I'd love to have them both.
PeoriaAZBillsFan Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Use the extra money from the 1st round pick we don't have and re-sign them both.
aristocrat Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 cap is going up big time this year right? Probably have room for both. Need to play some cap magic so that we can sign kiko in a couple years. same with marcel.
Manther Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 No one is picking CJ over Hughes. Not even CJ Well played
Flip Johnson Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 This is not a legitimate either/or. I want both. Couldn't you sign CJ for 3yrs/10M? Is he really going to command more than that?
boyst Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 Hughes > ST Spiller > RB Spiller. It's harder to find a DE that can play 3 downs effectively and play the pass attack like Hughes then it is to find a quick return man, and then it's easier to find an RB then it is those other two.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The only issue i see with Hughes' game is he can be a liability in the run game. At least two times i saw big gains by the Vikes by running right past a up field charging Hughes. But without a doubt Hughes over CJ.
norton20 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Hughes, Dareus (and Cordy Glenn). Left tackles are hard to find and extending Glenn, given the state of this dreadful O line, would be a very very good idea. Edited October 22, 2014 by norton20
NoSaint Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 You can easily do both. Spiller isn't getting a raise
