Hughes will go next


GreggTX

Recommended Posts

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?

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...

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.

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.

Giants at 2 need a DE...

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.

He is a true 3-4 pass rushing end who also has the ability to drop into coverage. 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

Agreed, along with Star L to tie up the middle. The Bills felt QBs had too many escape routes up the middle in last years D .

I don't care about what he did in college.  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.

I don't see Hughes or Lawson part of McD's future defense. 

I don’t see Tre White as part of his future defense either, if you go far enough out. How far in the future can you see?

For some reason I keep thinking we’re going to be hearing about Shady being traded to the Giants as part of the deal to move up. If they want Barkley a nice conciliation prize might be Shady (in addition to a boatload of picks.)

Facts!

Hughes numbers didn't match his play imo. Murphy and Star commanding a double team will result in much better numbers

This. But I'm afraid to tell you you're going to have to say it a billion and one times cuz it'll come up again.

Is Hughes' spot on the team really that safe though?

 

He could fairly be labeled a head-case with all the 15yd. penalties he's incurred during games in his time as a Bill.

 

I could see them moving away from Hughes because of his detrimental on-field behavior.

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

 

I agree!  Poor Hughes got held 50% of the plays he rushed the passer.  It was an embarrassment to the NFL.  Next year the Bills will get more respect and so will Hughes.  I think Shaq is a bust - big time.  IF they can any kind of pick for him - - do it!

Not sure if I should say LOL or OMG.  For Pete's sake dude give it up.  The Giants are not trading and they are picking a QB.

And you are wrong so I could say that to you too. You have no idea so don't try and act like you do. There's already multiple reports saying they aren't taking a QB so lol to you for not knowing that

But according to the entire world heaven and Earth must be moved to get a top three QB to ensure success for the next thousand years.  Does that not apply to the Giants?
