He has already stated that he won't give the Bills a hometown discount, and he is open to signing to a new team.

Hughes has averaged 10.0 sacks and 40 quarterback hurries over the past two years numbers that place him right underneath the elite pass rushers in the NFL

The question is, would you be interested in the Colts signing him?

jerry hughes when he was a colt what else

 

That can't be what you're talking about.

 

He was a non-factor and mostly ineffective in his first two years, when he was a 4-3 DE. He actually became a contributing member of the defense when we switched him to a 3-4 OLB. He didn't fail, he actually played better.

Yeah they have it switched up I think..... Still not worth bringing back and he wouldn't want to come back anyway. haha

Thats all true and you can add to it DW says no way the Colts sign him to a free agent contract.

 

Anyway , Grigson is a wheeler and dealer , so he's doing to win some and lose some. So far two pretty stinky ones in the TR and Hughes deals. He had a major win in Vonte Davis deal and some really good cheap finds .. Freeman being by far the best.

I feel bad for Jerry because I don't think he ever had the opportunity to shine, playing behind Mathis and Freeney. If he can play as a 3-4 OLB then I'd be for giving him a shot.

 

He took some shots at the Colts when he joined the Bills. I doubt he'd be interested in coming back and I doubt the Colts would have any interest in having him back.

Yeah, it's not happening. He's very much not on the list.

 

As for the trade, I wonder, given Hughes attitude since he was traded, if there was something else behind the scenes that prompted the trade to begin with. Either way, it didn't turn out very well for us.

Just really hard to say what prompted that trade. I guess it could be said we had a little bit of need at ILB and Mathis (age wise) projected to be still very good through the Hughes contract.

Yeah, I could make up scenarios, but it's purely conjecture. Oh well, just not a good deal for us. The Bills got quite a bit of production from him, production we sorely needed these past two seasons.

Jerry Hughes was garbage for us. Teams like to swap struggling guys who were thought to have a high potential hoping that they might thrive in a new environment. Hughes thrived, Sheppard did not.

Yeah but would we have ever seen that type of production if he had stayed here?

I think garbage might be a little too severe. No doubt he played poorly (hardly played) his first 2 years. I thought he was much better his 3rd year but never did I imagine he would that good with Buffalo. But yeah... ya win some and you lose some. I didn't think was a big deal then and that's why I'm not "moaning and groaning" now.

We wont sign him, but his last year with us he made some big strides and showed improvement in the new 3-4 scheme. He didn't do anything in the 4-3 scheme. So I think he would have turned into the beast he is now with us if we hadn't traded him. He and Mathis would have been a spectacular duo. Nothing else to say except very bad trade by Grigson.

Not realistic I think, Great talent though and fits our system. I wouldn't dismiss it from happening 100% but I think there is probably 95% chance it wont happen, I also think the reason he was traded had nothing to do with his play but I think (and this is just my opinion) he might have been more of a hot head then what we saw on the field (and we did see some of that on the field)

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Smonroe · Posted

      Okay, I know this is a Mr. Obvious post, but bear with me.  What else do you have to do during the dead season, lol?   As a Buckeye, I appreciate how good CJ Stroud is.  In MHO CJ had better WRs and RBs when he was at THE OSU than he has in Houston.   So how did TTUN beat us (bad) two years in a row when he was in Columbus?  Simple, their Offense was way better than our Defense.   Bottom line - the Colts D doesn't have to be great.  Average will be good enough - IF the Colts offense is as good as we think it could be and play ball control, has extended drives, and limits the other teams possessions.  And maybe that's the plan considering Ballard not being too concerned with improving the DB rooms.   (Sure, it would be nice to have a great D.  No argument there)

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
