[Nobody]

Ugh.

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

Ugh.

I second that ugh!

[Gavin]

Get that man back here! Never should have traded him!...Meh probably wont happen, Just media throwing out names, Would bring an instant threat to our pass rush that I think we have little chance of getting in this draft, Hughes has a lightening quick first step and has developed as a pass rusher......As long as he keeps the attitude in check and keeps his nose clean off the field bring him in

[Gavin]

Ugh.

Why ugh? He is a good pass rusher

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Because the bills line is crazy good, and it left Hughes with constant 1on1's cause he was the weakest one.

[Nobody]

Why ugh? He is a good pass rusher

Because his failure here, and the fact that I think he has product of the Bills front 7.

[Gavin]

Because his failure here, and the fact that I think he has product of the Bills front 7.

But he was not a failure here, He was behind two hall of fame likely pass rushers who were not coming out of the game under many if any circumstances barring injury, That's not a failure, That's a GM making a bad pick because he had no intent to use him right away., He also stood on his own in Buffalo, Developed his pass rush moves actually, How could he be a product of the Bills front 7 when he was able to get 4 sacks while only starting 6 games his last year here with a much less talented D Line

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

I don't want him because of the way he left here

[Deathiltis]

He's not coming back here

[Gavin]

He's not coming back here

Basically my opinion to actually

[backshoulderfade]

I can't imagine a situation where Jerry Hughes would want to come back aside from grossly overpaying him. That's what free agency is about though!

[Jdubu]

He didn't fit our team for a rookie contract, went to buffalo and played 2 lights out years and now you want him back into the same scheme he left and now pay 10 mil a year for that? No thanks

[csmopar]

I don't see it. He's good as a 4-3 DE but he sucked as freenys replacement in the OLB slot, which assuming if he were to come here, that's where he'd play again. Let's put it this way...if Rex ryan, the defensive guru he's said to be, let's him walk...there's a good reason

[Caleb3502]

He's a 4-3 DE, he's not as good as a 3-4 OLB.  He didn't play a lot while he was here, but he played DE in college and plays a lot better as a DE.  We would need more help on the D-Line if he was to really create pass rush here.

His best year was as a OLB in 2013.

The reason being they can't afford him.

[12isthenew18]

please no

[CheesyRoyale]

Please God no...not again...

[wig]

His best year was as a OLB in 2013.

Not to mention his bad years in Indy were at DE and he'd shown improvement when he switched to OLB here. Weird statement.

[Dark Superman]

He's not worth the money he's going to command. And a bunch of his sacks came after the QB held on to the ball for what seemed like an hour. No thanks. Give me Jason Worilds or McPhee.

[Bravo]

Nope.... Keep him away! He pretty much spit in the Colts face after the trade.

he did better than freeney in the olb spot and since him and freeney left who's been more productive?

[csmopar]

True true

[Colts_Fan12]

Wish we would have never traded him never understood getting rid of him when he never got a real chance with Freeny and Mathis......

[chrisfarley]

Bring him back.  He can be a special play guy (not a full starter).  10 mill a year, Ehhhhhh, I hope we get him for less with some guarantees.

[Derakynn]

Hughes is not coming back. He is sour about being traded, and made salty comments on Irsay when he was arrested. I wouldn't want him back either. And we don't even know why he was traded in the first place. Speculation has it that he can have quite the attitude.

[Coltswarriors]

I'd be surprised if he'd even want to come back here, to be honest....

 

 

He was terrible here.

[ColtJax]

He wants around 10 million a year, he'd come here for a fat check..

Why worilds? He is useless... He's horrible against the run and can only pass rush which I think he is only "good" at not great. Hughes is a much better pass rusher and has some resilience in the run game.

[Dark Superman]

Have you ever watched Worilds? Kid is a beast.

[BOTT]

But he was not a failure here, He was behind two hall of fame likely pass rushers who were not coming out of the game under many if any circumstances barring injury, That's not a failure, That's a GM making a bad pick because he had no intent to use him right away., He also stood on his own in Buffalo, Developed his pass rush moves actually, How could he be a product of the Bills front 7 when he was able to get 4 sacks while only starting 6 games his last year here with a much less talented D Line

While I agree that it was a bad trade, Hughes had plenty of chances to show something and didn't until his final yr here

[Surge89]

Have you ever watched Worilds? Kid is a beast.

Often actually... my wife's a die hard Pit fan. Even their fan base is rejoicing that they didn't give him the tag.

He can provide a decent rush but no where near 8-10 million a year worth.

[rock8591]

Plz no more 6-8 sack a year players for premium money.

@ProFootballTalk: Bills close to deal to keep pass-rusher Jerry Hughes http://t.co/kybW8i4sEm

[Briggs32]

He played 2 years in our 4-3 and 1 in our 3-4.  He had no prior experience in a 3-4 and was behind Freeney/Mathis in our 4-3.  Not to mention he didn't have the talent he has around him in Buffalo overall.  He just played on a D-Line with Williams, Dareus and Williams. it could have just been he also needed a little longer to develop and acclimate to the NFL.

[LordHelpOurColts]

Another one of the Colts Bengals

[ColtsBlueFL]

Bills will re-sign him to a 5 year deal for 45 million (20 guaranteed).
