aristocrat Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Interesting it’s basically a full guaranteed deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 21, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted May 21, 2019 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are guaranteeing him $19m over the years when he will be 32 and 33 I think that is a really risky contract.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Fire extension. Where is that hat poster that doesn’t understand the concepts of extensions—he said the woods contract was stupid because he still had a year left on his deal.

An insightful, proactive move by Beane to take one worry off the table next offseason. Cued right here. Did you know he gets lots of pressure? Did you know the refs dont like him so there are never any holds called against him? Did you know he is good for a couple 15 yard penalties per year? But whatever, He almost gets the QB. Now people are happy because a player " disrupts " a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Important re-up from a numbers perspective. The team really needs to overhaul the EDGE rushing group next offseason, but with only Murphy under contract, that will prove difficult. Hughes is, in the very least, a serviceable pass rusher that can force the issue, even if he does struggle to finish plays at this point in his career. The money on this isn't bad at all. It sets the team up to be able to go after a complementary rusher, and the 2020 FA class is flooded with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
