Estro Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 It's gonna be tough to beat out the Jaguars, IMO. They're likely to miss out on al of their prized targets. Cobb, Suh, Murray. That means they can blow other teams offers out of the water, and really just start overpaying guys. Throw in no state income tax in FL and I think Jacksonville will offer the best package to Hughes.

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) I realize that the franchise tag for a DE was 14 million, but I wish the bills used it. It would have given them more time to work out a long term contract. I suppose Hughes could have simply played for the tag salary, but I'm guessing he would have wanted the extra guaranteed money a long-term contract would have given him.

Not at the table Karlos Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Can't force the guy to sign the deal. If I were him and I had the Bills' offer on the table I'd at least wait until Tuesday to see what someone else threw at me. can't his agent see what other teams are offering starting last night? I thought there was a legal tampering window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Jerry Hughes said Bills get last offer,that's why there was no tag. Â My thing is this,beat the singing bonus.

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Very cool  @jchenelly: The 3 #Bills Pro Bowlers chipped in to bring Jerry Hughes with them to Phoenix for the all-star festivities. The Dline has lot of chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm just frustrated. I keep hearing how we're gonna build through the draft and re-sign our own, but that's rarely the case. Thank God they have the sense to know not to treat a guiding principle like an absolute rule. Otherwise we'd have roughly $16 mil this year tied up in Byrd and Levitre.

bonechiller Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I don't know about this, " the bills get last offer" thing. Can't they put the offer out and say take it now or it's no good? Why would teams be so willing to let the player go back to see if he can get a better deal with someone else? Â I know I would want to know, so I can pursue other FAs, and not be stuck waiting. Â Billeve me, I hope this is the case, but I think the pressure could get someone to just sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dline has lot of chemistry. As the offers get higher and higher that's money out of Dareus' pockets basically and that's his best friend on the team. I understand getting the best offer but you can't expect the Bills to match the cheeseball offers from teams like Jacksonville who are desperate for someone and will pay anything. We have other guys we have to pay too and if they want to stick together then concessions will need to be made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladiebla Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Totally unrealistic.... BUT I wish the D-Line would come together and offer the Bills a full D-line deal that restructures Mario extends all of them for 4 years or so and provides all of them a rate that they themselves deem honest between themselves on the premises that all their contracts are vioded if one of them is cut or traded.

Now Kyle Williams yes. $7 million cap hit next year with no dead money if released. But I think Kyle would make that easily somewhere else. Â Maybe only 1 year left with all 4 even if they sign Hughes. Gilmore will get atleast $10 million next year unless they extend him, hopefully. Â But let's also remember the cap is jumping $10 million a year it seems. Plus still no big money QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
