Socal-805 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 I just looked at SPOTRAC for Hughes contract: $14 MIL this year? I am reading this correctly? https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jerry-hughes-6540/ WHY are the Bills paying Jerry Hughes $14 mil this year?!? He's basically invisible that I can tell. 1. Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald: $22.5 million 2. Cowboys defensive lineman Demarcus Lawrence: $21 million 3. Chiefs defensive lineman Frank Clark: $20.8 million 4. Lions defensive lineman Trey Flowers: $18 million 5. Saints defensive lineman Cameron Jordan: $17.5 million 6. 49ers defensive lineman Dee Ford: $17 million 7. Browns defensive lineman Olivier Vernon: $17 million 8. Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox: $17 million 9. Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett: $17 million 10. Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt: $16.7 million He may be the most overpaid D lineman in the league? 1 1 4
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 How does his contract impact you? Why do you give a *****? Are you just looking for something to B word and complain about? 11 7 3 6
HereComesTheReignAgain Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Bills will have $80 mil in cap space next year, they are 6-2, and you are complaining about one of the Bills very good players making too much? 11 1 5
NewEra Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Because he’s good. He’s been having a subpar season. no, he’s not the most overpaid DL in the league thread over. Edited November 4, 2019 by NewEra 7 1 4
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 He's the only pass rusher on the team. They signed him to a reasonable extension and have plenty of cap room. Murphy is the most overpaid pass rusher in the league when you compare contract to production. Blame Beane for not finding a complimentary pass rusher to Hughes. 3

Are you just looking for something to B word and complain about? Probably because it is money wasted that could be spent on a player that actually deserved it? Hughes is good but he does become invisible and is too inconsistent for that kind of $$. Edited November 4, 2019 by Azucho98

Bangarang Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Because up until this year he’s been really good. 3

It's criminal how terrible Trent Murphy is, I haven't seen a more non-productive pass rusher since Chris Kelsey 2
Mark80 Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) Jerry Hughes is not a "very good" player. He's had one season of 10 sacks. A DE getting about 5 sacks per year is not a "very good" player. At least he isn't getting stupid penalties any more. I agree with OP. His contract is insane and he is invisible on the field. His only really successful years were when he also had Mario, Kyle, and Marcel (who was good at the time) taking much of the blocking. He was 4th best of those guys during those years. Edited November 4, 2019 by Mark80 2
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 If the production does not improve, he will most likely be asked to restructure or released. We know how this goes. To the OP, they are going to do anything in the season, so save it for the offseason. 1
Socal-805 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Posted November 4, 2019 I have watched, hear, and read multiple times how the Bills defense gets very little pressure and almost no sacks from either D end position: Hughes and Edwards COMBINED have like 3 sacks, and the Bills have been playing a powder puff schedule. They have also been giving up large number in the rush defense area.
Da webster guy Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 He got paid in the offseason, and last year he was impactful. The good news is that he matured and stopped getting a personal foul every game. The bad news is he's lost a half step, but every team has players that are declining and overpaid for their contributions. He's a good locker room guy, works hard and still chases plays down from the backside. 4
Mrbojanglezs Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 It's not stopping us from signing any other players and until it does who cares 1

I was thinking they may have to upgrade either position this off-season, but how can you when already devoting that much cash $ on largely non-productive positions? Hughes is already 31 years old, with 2 years left on that contact.

Jerry Hughes signed a 2 year, $21,500,000 contract with the Buffalo Bills, including a $6,300,000 signing bonus, $19,750,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $10,750,000.

Hughes is already 31 years old, with 2 years left on that contact. And the two years he has left he is making 7.4 and 7.3 in 2020 and 2021. So the extension got him one year of double the money and then back to what he was making last year. Edited November 4, 2019 by The Wiz
