Wayne Cubed Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Vic Carucci @viccarucci 6 other teams were interested in signing Jerry Hughes, but he made it clear during negotiations he wanted to stay w #Bills. Love it, Hughes wanted to be here.
Dibs Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 But what about the cap????? Depending on how it is structured, it could be a cap hit this year of only about $3.5M.
BarleyNY Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Looks like he got market value. 5 years, $45M is right there. Nice to know that with all else equal he wanted to stay a Bill. Retaining him is huge.
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 OMG the cap the cap the cap what will we do. we're gonna have to cut Mario now right?
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 we're gonna have to cut Mario now right?yeah because trading Kiko and getting all new coaches on D gutted the D

Love it, Hughes wanted to be here. One interesting side item is doubt he would have wanted to be here if St. Doug still was
bmur66 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Where else would he rather be than right here, right now?

Virgil Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 9 mil a year. I'll absolutely take that. And yes, I think he could have gotten more

Dorkington Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Great news! Interested in hearing about the contract details.
3rdand12 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 nice to wake up to. The boys at work will stopping over to chat this up. Go Bills !
QCity Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Vic Carucci @viccarucci 6 other teams were interested in signing Jerry Hughes, but he made it clear during negotiations he wanted to stay w #Bills. I guess he really doesn't know what a hometown discount is... because he just gave us one.
Matteboots Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Not surprised to see this deal get done on both sides. The trade for Hughes is a feather in Whaley's cap and I would think he would want to retain him because of that. I also think Hughes knows that Buffalo is the best place for him. He won't get double teams due to the talent surrounding him which will allow him to be successful.
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso: Where Hughes' deal ranks --> among 3-4 OLBs: total contract value - 3rd. Total gtd - 3rd. Among 4-3 DEs: total value - 5th. Total gtd - 5th
EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Right about what I expected the limit to be, way to go Doug, Jim and co. Thank you Jerry! Now lets be a bully...

KW and Mario being 31, and 30, right? Who's the other 30? McKelvin? Do we draft a DT or DE this year to start developing? Edit: Manny is 30, McKelvin is 29. Cool Edited March 9, 2015 by Dorkington
