gonzo1105 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Holy Cow have those two been fantastic all year long. They just absolutely dominate. Even when these two don't show up on the stat sheet they cause other problems for offenses. I know there was a report out there that we wouldn't re-sign Hughes if he had a monster season but I think it is very important to keep the D-Line and Brandon Spikes after this year. I know we shouldn't spend all our money in the defensive front seven but I think that our offense is good enough if we can find one guard and obviously a long term solution at Quarterback. That is all and a very good win against a good football team on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Pay them. Our D-Line is dominant. If any part of your football team is dominant you do everything you can to keep it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hughes was an absolute bear today because Detroit was so worried about Dareus and Mario. He was literally picking up the LT and running him into Stafford. We raped Indy so bad in that trade there should be a SVU case opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) Ugh, it's only week 5 and the please pay so and so threads are back. Dareus will be resigned but Hughes most likely won't be as there is already a lot of money tied up on the Dline. You may disagree with that but it's how things are, can't have big money players everywhere Edited October 5, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hughes was an absolute bear today because Detroit was so worried about Dareus and Mario. He was literally picking up the LT and running him into Stafford. We just raped Indy in that trade. I've never seen the power out of Hughes. He was tremendous today, and half the plays were him bullrushing the LT and just shoving him back. Really impressive. There is a theory, and usually a good one, that you cannot spend too much on one position, which skews your salary cap. And we have Mario at 100m, Kyle, and Dareus the #3 overall who MUST be re-signed. And Hughes will be offered a lot. BUT... we are paying peanuts at LB. Kiko and Brown and Bradham are 2-4 round picks which are nothing. Rivers is not high paid. If you count it as a front 7 you can rationalize it.

Dragonborn10 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 They aren't paying the QB and WR's any real money. There is plenty of cap space for Dareus, Glenn, and Hughes. And no first round pick to pay next year. I would pay Darues and Glenn now. Make Hughes perform at DE for a full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've been singing his praises everywhere but Marcell Dareus was unbelievable today. Dominating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Isn't Dareus locked up through 2015? I'd like him to get through the season and OTAs without any off field problems---which I'm hopeful he's turning a corner--before we talk extension. Hughes is going to get big money. No way he stays. He's going UFA. But we could franchise him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrassValleyGreg Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hughes has been pretty average before this game. A liability in run defense for sure and a bit of a one trick pony. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papazoid Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 dareus is signed in 2015 for $8 mil. Hughes is a free agent in 2015 (last year of his rookie deal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Right now MD is licking his chops at the thought of his new offer. The Bills should be smart and lock him up after the season. Or even before it CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 If you are Jerry Hughes and you're sitting down with your agent, do you have a realistic appraisal of the reasons for your success? You did nothing as a Colt. Upon trade to the Bills, in the Pettine and Schwartz systems, surrounded by elite talent, you now play to your draft selection and have turned into quite the impressive football player. Do you stay in Buffalo even if it isn't the max dollars you'd get elsewhere where there is no pressure to be THE man on defense, or do you chase that big contract from a team that will be counting on you to produce without elite talent surrounding you?

You may disagree with that but it's how things are, can't have big money players everywhere Last week Pegula was gonna clean house...Dareus was immature and we shouldn't pay him.......amazing what a win does to change the attitude.

You may disagree with that but it's how things are, can't have big money players everywhere I think we have some cap room coming up due to dead money expiring, so that should help. Also helps that a good portion of our offense is young and under contract for a couple years. We might have some flexibility. I'm actually most worried about Mario Williams contract, wonder if he'd be willing to restructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playman Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 well, i guess contracts are on hold til the new ownership has decided on the FO. but for sure you want to keep your young studs if in any way possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 4m4 minutes ago Per @PFF, #Bills DE Jerry Hughes has 18 pressures (sack, hit or hurry) on the season. Tied w/ Cam Wake & two others for 2nd most in NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta collect as much money as possible before the career is over, since there isn't much for most football players after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
