aristocrat Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Interesting it’s basically a full guaranteed deal. 1
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Congrats 55!! McD likes to have a vet leader in each group and I think Hughes has curbed the penalties, performed well, and been a great teammate. I think McD actually liked that he challenged that ref last year too. He has a lot of “give a damn” in him. 25 1
IgotBILLStopay Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) That moolah is deserved. We are set on one side. Price is reasonable and we will have continuity. Health permitting Hughes will deliver.

eball Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Cue the “Hughes is done because he didn’t have a lot of sacks in 2018” crowd. An insightful, proactive move by Beane to take one worry off the table next offseason. 7
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Hughes is also the longest-tenured player on the Bills 5

Think I said 2 months ago that there was no way Hughes signed for less guaranteed than what the franchise tag would pay him next year (defensive end tag number this year was $17.1m) EDIT: is it actually a 2 year extension? thereby tying him down through 2021? Or is it a 2 year deal for this year and next? If the former I don't love it, if it is the latter I do. Edited May 21, 2019 by GunnerBill 1
JXCOL3 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Hughes is a monster and underrated in my opinion. Good work Beane 1

This is a great contract IMO. Lock him up for the rest of his prime, and the high GTD builds goodwill so we can probably re-sign him again at the tail end of his career if we want at a little bit of an old age discount.

Typically they use “restructure” if modifying an existing contract (even if adding additional years). 2

Typically they use “restructure” if modifying an existing contract (even if adding additional years). They can be a little loose with the wording though. I'll wait to see. If they are guaranteeing him $19m over the years when he will be 32 and 33 I think that is a really risky contract. When the cliff comes for pass rushers it tends to come quickly. 1
