GreggTX Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) I think Murphy will be our new RE and they will trade him , or try to, to move up again. I don't know who is interested, but he's still a very good DE IMO. Question: Who might be that trade partner? How high would that get us? Edited March 25, 2018 by GreggTX

Bangarang Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Hughes won’t get us much nor do I think he’s going anywhere
smuvtalker Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I don't think we should trade Hughes personally. He's still our best pass rusher, and after a quiet year last year, believe he can still get to double digit sack numbers... However if he can be packaged into a combo to get us to #2, without having to give up both of our 2nd rounders and next years first, best of luck to you Mr Hughes... 2
MrEpsYtown Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I do think Hughes is gone eventually because I really don't love his fit in the defense and he is overpaid for what he has produced. But he is a good player and may have a better year with Murphy as a bookend.
blacklabel Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 No. For the billionth time, Hughes (and Lawson, for that matter) are 100% part of this team for 2018. DL is a huge point of emphasis for this team. They wouldn't go and deal out a nice contract for Lotulelei, who's primary role will be occupying multiple OL to free up the ends and LBs. They intend on making the DL one of the strongest units on the team. Trading away their best pass rusher makes zero sense when that's their plan. Having Murphy to rotate in there should be a good asset and more than likely a step up from Ryan Davis. Hughes' contract isn't really a cap killer like Dareus' or Glenn's. If they wanted to clear more space they would've dealt Hughes long ago.
TPS Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 The point of getting Murphy was to take the focus off Hughes, who was the the only one who commanded attention in the pass rush. Murphy rushing from the left will free up Hughes, and we'll see that in his stats this year. 3

There are going to run a 3-4 this year, that is part of the reason they traded Pierre-Paul. Hughes is better suited in a 4-3 as well and the Giants I don't think would be interested.

Hes actually undersized for a 4-3 but he has played well in both schemes. He was one of the top 3-4 ends coming out of college in the 2010 draft
BuffaloRush Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I don’t think Hughes will be a part of any trade. Given his age and contract he couldn’t get much value. They are better keeping him on the team. If your looking for a DE to trade, watch Shaq Lawson 2

The Bills felt QBs had too many escape routes up the middle in last years D .

At the NFL level he has been far more successful in a 4-3 scheme. The Giants are drafting Chubb. There is almost no chance they are interested in Hughes. Edited March 25, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12
MC Hamburg Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 He will work well with Star and Murphy on the D now...cant wait to see that
LABILLBACKER Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 I don't see Hughes or Lawson part of McD's future defense. 1
