NoSaint Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Next year's cap space (pre-Hughes deal) assuming the cap stays the same: $143,280,000 - $97,390,923 = $45,889,077 The following year (2017): $143,280,000 - $63,836,016 = $79,443,984 Assuming the cap rises $10 million per season that would put us around $50 million next season and $100 million the season after. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2016/ http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2017/ cap should see a big bump next year, possibly more than the 10m, but then slow a little after. next year is the year the new tv deals hit the calculation.

CountryCletus Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Man, he went full Van Gogh and them some. That's dedication. GO BILLS!!! Some gave their left nut to play for certain teams.... Marcus gave an ear and a half... I think it just shows his commitment to this city! No link on the left nut, sorry....
Chuck Wagon Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Pernell McPhee got $40 mil / 5 years / $16 guaranteed
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: Whaley confirms that the cap hit at the beginning of Hughes' deal is a little bit lesser for flexibility this year.

The Bills got a hell of a deal on the player and the cap. Well done J.O. 2015 cap hit for Hughes = 6.1 @ProFootballTalk: Hughes gets $17.625 million fully guaranteed at signing http://t.co/5WevyWz3zm

K D Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Fun Jerry Hughes facts: - was all-league at RB and was also the kick returner in high school - was a 2-star recruit so he only had a couple of scholarship offers - switched to D-line in college and got some reps as a true freshman - started full time his junior year and led the nation with 15 sacks and was all-american - all-american again as senior with 11.5 sacks - drafted in the 1st round by Indy (31st overall) - last year was his first year as a starter in the NFL
Nanker Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Easley seems to be getting over looked lately... I hope he gets offered something, I can't see him NOT getting an offer to stay- he's a special teams stud and still developing as a WR.... His WR development is really slow.... But that ear and a half off didn't help... GO BILLS! Vincent VanEasley? Man, he went full Van Gogh and them some. That's dedication. GO BILLS!!! Beat me to it.
billsfan89 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 A bit of an overpay but the guy is a huge part of the defense and young enough that he should be in the fold for the next few seasons. Love the move as it shows aggressiveness in competing now and its not a dramatic overpay. Also the type of deal proves that cash to cap is gone.

Love the move as it shows aggressiveness in competing now and its not a dramatic overpay. Also the type of deal proves that cash to cap is gone. I think the opposite. Many of us thought he was going to get $11-$12M per year on the open market. $9M a year is a great price IMO CBF
billieve420 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Pernell McPhee got $40 mil / 5 years / $16 guaranteed If anyone overpaid it was the Bears. To think we got Hughes at the amount he signed at is a bargain in my eyes and something I didn't think would happen once it hit the weekend. It is nice to see our own get re-signed.

YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 @ChrisBrownBills: Here's our sit down with #Bills pass rusher Jerry Hughes, who talks about unfinished buiness & his new deal. Watch - http://t.co/0dtnntbasx
Uffalo Ills Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 where did he go? extend him i mean... get him back for next year
nucci Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 extend him i mean... get him back for next year Gotcha...I think they will
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I just watched the Chris Brown interview and am very impressed with Hughes' attitude and enthusiasm. Huge contract aside, the guy seems genuinely excited to play for the Bills and with a defense that he repeatedly talks about being a very close bunch of guys. Can't wait to see how scary they are in 2015!
