Potential pass rush help

[dfense]

I watch a lot of the Bills games up here in western NY. They have probably the best Dline in football and now that Ryan is going to be the coach, he's going to go to a 3-4. Jerry Hughes is a guy that shows up on sunday. 20 sacks in the last 2 seasons. He's a 4-3 DE and is a FA. Probably not happy about trying to be a OLB. Just saying

I'm also curious who we might bring in, but I'm not as dialed in as some of your NFL geeks. Would love to hear some more names of people we might realistically acquire in FA.

I know he's not a de and I know he's too expensive and has some baggage but I call Suh... He's a beast

Wondering if he fits Rod's scheme. Seems a little light in the shorts. he's 6-2 254 and seems Rod likes his DE to be in the 265-280 range.

This is exactly the guy that I was thinking of in free agency.

Not the 'splash' of guys being mentioned Like Suh or JPP, just productivity, for a fraction of the cost.

Hughes looks to me like a player coming into his own and one on the rise.

I'm interested.

Suh

This would be ideal, but I think he gets franchised.

 

[Gaede]

Interested in Hughes as well

 

[tm1119]

Add Brandon Graham and Jaabal Sheard to the list behind Hughes for reasonably cheap pass rushers who aren't old and already washed up.

Doubtful. It will cost 26.7M.

The news comes as a surprise because of Suh's unusual rookie contract that calls for a $26.7 million franchise-tag figure.


It was thought to be a prohibitive number, particularly for an organization scheduled to devote roughly $40 million of the 2015 salary cap to Calvin Johnson and Matthew Stafford.

I'd think Hughes would be pretty appealing to Rex Ryan as an OLB. The one who is probably PO'd is Mario Williams. Aside from the money, he was pretty explicit on his desire to get out of a 3-4 defense iirc.

Yeah and don't think the price would be as high as Pierre Paul oh and I wouldn't count out Graham from the pigeons, he wants to go back to a 4-3 and what best to have him coke here and go up against him for redemption.

Plus 10 million in dead money from his rookie deal that's almost 25% of the cap.there is no way he gets franchised.

I was looking at Walter football. How do you guys feel about Pernell McPhee ?

He's a 34 OLB. Would he translate well to a 43? He might but I don't think Baltimore will let him go. He's the backup to Suggs and Suggs is about 123 now so IDK?

He is big guy,he can play 4-3 De easily.

Yeah but they have dummervil there too so thats two DE they have under contract. I was looking at him as a potential situational pass rusher.

 

[Clove]

We don't need any bargains, middle of the pack types, we need studs.

Another guy, George Johnson . He may seem like another prospect for a situational pass rusher...Draft 1 or 2 DT along with those two guys.
