‘By dealing Dareus prior to Week Eight, the Bills avoid paying the remaining $5.735 million in base salary due to him over the last nine weeks of the season. Dareus will still count $10.66 million against this year’s cap, but that’s down from the $16.4 million he was scheduled to take up. As of Friday night, NFLPA records had the Bills with $7.332 million in space under the salary cap, which ranked as the 16th most in the league heading into next year.’
