Freddie's Dead Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Suh was overpaid because he was a FA who wanted to leave. Byrd did this. As did Clay and Julius Thomas. Guys like Hughes and Bulaga and Randall Cobb wanted to stay with their current teams and got paid but not overpaid. If the current team and player both want the deal done it will get done. It will probably look more like Gerald mccoy than Suh's if he stays. I expect him to sign an extension prior to FA. I also expect a Mario restructure. Gerald McCoy, LOL.
YoloinOhio Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Gerald McCoy, LOL. Gerald Freaking McCoy!
billsfan89 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hopefully they don't have to give him 19 million a year like Suh. As good as Suh and Dareus are it's a lot of money to commit to a DT. As valuable as DT's are controlling the run game and collapsing the pocket in pass rushing they aren't worth paying nearly as much as a QB would command. But if they can get his number down to 14-15 million more in line with McCoy that would seem to be a fair value considering how much he anchors the D-line.
RunninRebel37 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) I think Dareus has definitely earned the extension. His first two years were a mess due to the coaching staff misusing him as the 5 technique end but once Pettine and Schwartz got him aligned correctly, he showed why he was a top-5 pick. I think locking him up now, drafting an end, and then deciding what to do with Mario sooner than later is their plan. Once you get Dareus signed you have 2 pro bowl tackles to go with (what should really be 2) pro bowl de's. They need to draft another pass rusher so that Mario Williams doesn't have all the leverage and hopefully develop somebody so they don't miss a beat once the Williams brothers are gone. (Clearly they aren't brothers but you know what i mean) Edited March 31, 2015 by RunninRebel37
Doc Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 I wish they could sign him for what McCoy and Watts got. But it will probably be closer to what Suh got.
ALF Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Having a players coach like Rex , makes it easier to re-sign good players.
YoloinOhio Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Can the Bills keep Dareus? At what price? Â http://www.wgr550.com/pages/21278176.php?contentType=4&contentId=17148290

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Now just have to wait on the NFL. Which if there's no jail time, prolly won't be anything. A fine maybe.

Dorkington Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Good news, lets hope the NFL doesn't drop the hammer on him.
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 How much of this was due to his celebrity status? Not that I care. At this point I want a Super Bowl at whatever it costs.
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 How much of this was due to his celebrity status? Not that I care. At this point I want a Super Bowl at whatever it costs. Would we even care about this if he wasn't famous? I don't remember reading about someone going to jail for hitting a pole. Â It's not good but it's hardly like he was OJ or something.
YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 @john_wawrow: Fan recognized Dareus in courtroom, hoped he re-signs. Dareus reply: "Let's see if I can stay in Buffalo. I want to" http://t.co/gfOcHkICZh
eball Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 So, Erie County had such an airtight case against Marcell that they pled him down to two traffic violations and a football camp. Or maybe the DA is a football fan. In either case I think we can put this to rest. If Marcell gets anything more than a 1-game suspension I'd be shocked.

But is the other case still going on? The fake weed one.
Doc Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 He should have taken the plea deal because obviously the DA had him dead to rights.
