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)

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Chris Ballard, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Indianapolis Colts' draft selections, continues to astound with his unconventional approach to player evaluation. Known for his ability to turn perceived draft flops into valuable lessons in resilience, Ballard has elevated the art of optimism in the face of adversity.   Take, for instance, his selection of Quincy Wilson, a cornerback whose career trajectory seemed to follow the path less traveled—straight to the sidelines. Wilson's ability to excel in the role of 'spectator extraordinaire' brought a new dimension to the Colts' bench, proving that even inactivity can be a form of contribution.   Then there's TJ Green, whose ability to redefine the term 'safety' by providing the opposing offense with a false sense of security is a testament to Ballard's commitment to strategic innovation. Green's unpredictable presence on the field undoubtedly kept quarterbacks on their toes, in excitement.    And who could forget Ben Banogu, a defensive end whose knack for demonstrating the art of camouflage by seamlessly blending into the turf has left spectators marveling at his commitment to environmental integration. Banogu's ability to remain inconspicuous during critical moments showcases Ballard's emphasis on adaptability and the importance of being one with your surroundings.   Ballard's genius lies not just in his ability to select players, but in his skillful navigation of the delicate dance between expectation and reality. His selections may not always align with conventional wisdom, but they consistently challenge perceptions and redefine what it means to be a draft bust.   As Ballard continues to forge ahead, his unorthodox approach serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring NFL general managers everywhere, including those perusing fan forums. Because if there's one thing Chris Ballard has taught us, it's that in the unpredictable world of professional football, even the most unexpected outcomes can be reframed as victories in disguise.   AKB

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      He started 14 games at SS in 2019 and started 8 games in 2018 for the Jags.  I meant to post this earlier in the thread.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrRo02.htm

      The additions of say Taylor, Raimann, and looking back to Leonard could be called important, savy drafting.  Our Colts have been waiting for awhile for a special, difference making player to surprisingly fall to US. Right when we really really needed it to happen, it sure looks like we got two of them. 🙏 for good health.  AR a surprise at 4, not at all.  But
