Kelly the Dog Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Sportrac has become very reliable for contracts in the last couple years and is now the go to site for a lot of fans, including many here. They just predicted the contracts the Top Free Agents will get and the numbers are sky high. Jerry Hughes is predicted to sign for: 5 years, $60,944,939 ($20.7M guaranteed) Average Salary: $12,188,988I had predicted about 12m a few times here myself, so I obviously think these guys know their stuff! http://www.spotrac.com/blog/contract-projections-for-upcoming-free-agents-extension-candidates/ Also of interest, they predict... Mike Iupati (G, SF) 5 years, $31,000,000 ($13.5M guaranteed) Average Salary: $6,200,000CJ Spiller (RB, BUF) 3 years,$12,262,595 ($2.9M guaranteed) Average Salary: $4,087,532And, of course, they spelled Lupati's name wrong.

This is about right I think. Hughes salary is going to be near Tamba Hali.
Niagara Dude Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I am all in for signing Mike Iupati and I would also bring back Spiller for about 9-10 three years.Not interested in Hughes at 12 per year (did nothing until he arrived with the Bills)lots of players would look good playing with those three guys.
dhg Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Holy balls! I like Hughes a lot, but that is a ton. My guess would have been around $40m/5

Kirby Jackson Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Holy balls! I like Hughes a lot, but that is a ton. My guess would have been around $40m/5Yeah, pass rushers are getting paid!! If you look at the guy from Minnesota last year he got $42.5M last year coming off of like 5.5 sacks. P.s. I am all for Spiller at a savings of $1.5M or whatever.

K D Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 We have been spoiled. Most teams would kill for a pass rush like ours. They are going to foolishly throw money at Hughes. He won't put up the same numbers elsewhere so it's up to him. Does he take the money or does he bet on a future with the best DL in the NFL
GG Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 at those numbers: Iupati yes. hughes and spiller no. Yup, if that's the case, so long Jerry.
RealityCheck Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 at those numbers: Iupati yes. hughes and spiller no. I concur.
QCity Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Salary cap is going up, but the big fish on the pass rush market is still Justin Houston.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Damn. A team may pay 12 mill to get Hughes annually or Hughes anally gets that team for 12 mill?
Kelly the Dog Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Salary cap is going up, but the big fish on the pass rush market is still Justin Houston. Yup. They have... Justin Houston (OLB, KC) 6 years, $92,670,276 ($49M guaranteed) Average Salary: $15,445,046
Coach Tuesday Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Rex Ryan can manufacture a passrush, keep that in mind. He never really had elite edge rushers with the Jets. Edited January 17, 2015 by Coach Tuesday
Kelly the Dog Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Rex Ryan can manufacture a passrush, keep that in mind. He never really had elite edge rushers with the Jets. The other side of that coin is what if he did? The sacks and turnovers could increase.

I still think they are a bit on the high side with most of their predictions. At least I hope they are. Check out Ndamukong Suh (DT, DET) 6 years, $103,672,800 ($56M guaranteed) Average Salary: $17,278,800 Whatever he negotiates for is probably what we're going to pay Dareus next year. Ouch.
HOUSE Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Rex Ryan can manufacture a passrush, keep that in mind. He never really had elite edge rushers with the Jets. Yea, he also thought Maybin was a stud
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Yea, he also thought Maybin was a stud He did produce 6 sacks out of the worst pass rusher of all time
YoloinOhio Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Bye Jerry Good times Edited January 17, 2015 by YoloinOhio
billsfan89 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 at those numbers: Iupati yes. hughes and spiller no. Iupati is gonna get more than that. Guards like Levitre get paid way more and Iupati is worth a big payday. I suspect Hughes will get less than 5-60 the market is flooded with pass rushers. But if that's the type of contact Iupati gets I would sign him over Hughes all day. JPP would be a better deal if we were trying to dish out a 5-60 type deal.
