On Sunday, the paperwork came through the NFL transaction wire and Mike Rodak tweeted out the details in this thread.While Hughes received $19.75 million guaranteed in the contract, $6.8 million of that was in 2019 on the year he already had in his deal. They weren’t going to release him, so this just solidified that number. Buffalo only guaranteeing roughly $13 million in new money to get the contract done is remarkable.Hughes received a $6.3 million signing bonus and the rest of the guarantee is $6.65 million in guaranteed salary in 2020. There is no guaranteed money into the 2021 season.His salaries are all below $7 million per season and while his cap number in 2019 is almost $12 million http://www.thebillslockerroom.com/authentic-bruce-smith-jersey , it’s below $10 million in the subsequent two years. For a very talented pass rusher, it’s a definite hometown discount (which is saying something for a guy with the highest cap number on your team). The Bills have signed a very effective pass rusher for less than $11 million per season. It’s less than what 30-year-old Justin Houston got from the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. It’s a lot less than what Calais Campbell is making with the Jacksonville Jaguars at age 32. It places him 17th in terms of annual average value of the contract, and eighth among defensive ends 30 or older. 2019Pro-rated signing bonus (old contract): $1.4 millionOption bonus (old contract): $1.5 millionRoster bonus (old contract): $1 millionPro-rated signing bonus (new contract): $2.1 millionWorkout bonus: $150,000Salary: $6.8 million (fully guaranteed)Salary cap hit: $12.95 million2020Pro-rated signing bonus: $2.1 millionRoster bonus: $500,000Workout bonus: $250 Color Rush Darryl Johnson Jersey ,000Salary: $6.65 million (fully guaranteed)Salary cap hit: $9.5 million2021Pro-rated signing bonus: $2.1 millionRoster bonus: $1 millionWorkout bonus: $250,000Salary: $6.1 millionSalary cap hit: $9.45 millionDead cap hit: $2.1 millionSavings if cut: $7.35 million if before roster bonus, $6.1 million at final cuts The Bills ruled quarterback Josh Allen out early this week, but he appears to be moving in the right direction when it comes to getting past his right elbow problem.Bills head coach Sean McDermott said on Thursday that Allen is not far off from starting to throw a football and Allen was able to do enough on the field Friday to be listed as a limited participant. It’s the first time he’s been listed as participating in any fashion since getting hurt in Week Six.The injury report also brings word that quarterback Derek Anderson has not been officially ruled out at this point. Anderson remains in the concussion protocol, but is listed as questionable so the team believes there’s some chance he’ll be cleared in time to play.If he isn’t Youth Darryl Johnson Jersey , Nathan Peterman will make the fourth start of his NFL career when the Bears come calling on Sunday.
