Bills agreed to terms with OLB Jerry Hughes on a five-year contract worth at least $45 million with $22 million in guarantees.
Rex Ryan's Jets defenses were annually among the league's best even though they lacked elite pass-rushing talent. That won't be a problem in Buffalo. Hughes has quickly shed the silly "bust" label placed on him in Indy, breaking out for 19.5 sacks over his two seasons as a Bill and standing tall against the run. Now entering his age-27 season with Rex at the controls, the best is yet to come from our No. 2 free agent edge defender (behind only franchise tagged Justin Houston). Hughes and Mario Williams will form an intimidating duo.
