Jerry played in the playoffs in 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2021. Nine years and 4 winning season with playoffs. Keep making crap up though. I would argue 2017 was fringe, I mean the team backed into the playoffs and had absolutely no chance. And I was off by a year or 2, it's called a mistake, not fabrication. Point of my original post was he would have some value on the current Bills roster still and I do wish he was here in Buffalo. And calm down, it's just a message board, no one attacked you.

He chose to sign with a crappy team, and is now so mad they stink he wants out? He's having a great year, but since Houston let some players leave then they surely would let Hughes leave.

Tua always been good against zone coverages when the OL protects. With the speed on offense you really cant play man. To beat the Dolphins on offense you have the have to be good on all three levels on the defense with a at least a #1 man corner. Hill and McDaniel has really changed the Dolphins. The key is like any QB is to get to Tua. I still dont trust Tua in the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it as possible that he could ask for his release with the intent to sign with a contender or we could call Houston and see if they have interest in doing that (since the front offices know each other well) He does have 8 sacks this year and clearly we’re thin on the Edge at the moment Thoughts? Make it so number 1 !!! With Von possible having to be out a couple of games I'd be all in !! He could be the icing on the cake . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And calm down, it's just a message board, no one attacked you. Yes, he would have value on the Bills roster, especially if Von has to sit out. But he didn't get shipped out of Buffalo just when they "got good". He played in the AFC Championship game two years ago and he was part of the 13 second debacle last year. He played on 4 playoff teams. He had a good run with the Bills and would probably want to retire a Bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know if the Bills offered him anything. But if they didn't, I suspect it was because they knew they would not be competitive compared to the other offers he would receive. And as I'm sure you know, there are regular conversations between agents and the GM that can direct them in whether or not to even make an official offer. An unofficial offer might have been suggested and rejected by the agent. But I always shake my head when players sign elsewhere in FA, fans say "He left the team". The player did not leave the team. At the end of the contract, the player was without a team. The team had the opportunity to negotiate a contract extension, but for whatever reason did not. Getting butthurt when a player signs elsewhere is complete nonsense, IMO of course. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 To be fair, Hughes wasn’t getting many offers in free agency and he took the money (that could only be offered by a team trying to fill the worst roster in football). Can’t blame him for going to the highest bidder in twilight of his career. That being said, he’s had a good year but is in no position to complain. Appreciate your payday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great relationship with their front office. We have a great need at edge rusher.

dreadlox Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 FWIW it looks like Jerry has a $6.25M non guaranteed salary next season with a$1.25M cap hit if released. Salary this year is $3.75M so like $1.25M remaining? I am skeptical that this return actually happens but I’ll be happy if it does. Epenesa to IR?
