BeastMode54 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Just read this on the Bills website. That Dareus will have to play out the last year. I think thinbk this is a stupid idea because there is no competition with other teams in an extension. If we let him play out the deal I dont think we'll be able to compete with other bigger name teams. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Link? I think the plan is atleast one tag. We could do that 2-3 times and still be a value (don't recall which year it ballooned enough to outpace the pay raise average for corresponding years if signed today but I think it was the next 3 years we could hold him no problem with the option next year and 2 tags Edited January 25, 2015 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode54 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 It's actually the opinion of Chris Brown. So not that reliable. But here;s the link: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2015/01/23/fan-friday-1-23-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here;s the link: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2015/01/23/fan-friday-1-23-2/ He also seems to say it likely would be after looking at hughes and expiring contracts, not after the season. Essentially that he's backburner at the moment, not totally off the stove. the franchise tag for DT's is lower than marcel is worth. Coupled with this year being lower too, we could absorb a bit of a hit in year three and still be ahead on average Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) It says: "As for Dareus and Glenn, the Bills typically address free agents first before worrying about players that are still under contract, so while Dareus and Glenn are seen as long term building blocks for the franchise I dont see them getting done in short order." That doesn't necessarily mean CB thinks he will need to play out his last year. He could sign an extension mid-season like Gerald McCoy, or they could tag him as others said. It's just going to depend on how it all fits into the cap. Edited January 25, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I would hope this new front office has the sense to not let a player have maximum leverage and get to play in a contract year. It hasn't worked out in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a little time to make sure you don't end up with a mountain of cash tied up in a guy who gets himself suspended for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 go ahead and tag him, and see his production go south, pay the man or trade him, simple as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Any thoughts? Yeah. Reading comprehension is a lost art. Nowhere does that CB statement imply that Dareus or Glenn will play out their last year. He's implying that it won't be "short order" (i.e., in the next few months).

Rob's House Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 go ahead and tag him, and see his production go south, pay the man or trade him, simple as that Because production is normally higher after signing a big guaranteed contract than in a contract year?

It's in My Blood Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think considering given Marcel's offseason "activities ", signing him as close to the startv of the season as possible would be good for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martifal Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 go ahead and tag him, and see his production go south, pay the man or trade him, simple as that I agree players hate playing under the tag, get him signed before free agency gets to close. I had posted before the season renegotiate while he was in a little bit of trouble they could have gotten the best deal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 With Mario's contract hitting red marks, holes at QB & RB and the need to retain Hughes, it makes perfect sense to delay re-upping Dareus until next year. Cromartie & Revis are FAs too, and I;m guessing Bills may be interested in making a run at one of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Front Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think its a wise move. Let him make it through the off season w/o getting into trouble and try to sign him to an extension later in the season. If he refuses franchise him.

Beef Jerky Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I think around Oct we will get a news flash of a Dareus contract. Edited January 25, 2015 by Beef Jerky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had posted before the season renegotiate while he was in a little bit of trouble they could have gotten the best deal then. Conversely, you might consider that a player's motivation could diminish after hitting free agency and receiving a "block buster" contract. Albert Haynesworth is one example of this, but I'm sure there are more. It depends on the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
