It's all about the guaranteed cash and if I understand it correctly, Dareus will receive the most guaranteed cash of any D lineman in history. Nice. GO BILLS!!! More or less correct as I understand it...the yearly average pretty much serves as a starting point for agents and GMs. As in, the GM calls the agent and says "what's the number?", and the agent responds "it's 16, are we talking?"
YoloinOhio Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Are all sources involved ok with this signing or did DW go #rogue on this too? Someone check on football ops!
26CornerBlitz Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 Let's hope this doesn't become necessary, but you know Whaley will if he feels it's required. @spotrac @TyDunne Kyle Williams becomes a potential cap casualty now for 2016. A March release would clear $5M in needed cap space.

I don't know if the team and agent can determine common ground on the value of these guys until after the season. Seems like MD's value was agreed upon so we were able to get that done first.

Now I hope he does not go the way of Haynesworth...I feel like he has a personality that could go that direction. Here's to him being dominant for years to come!!! Way to get it done OBD!!! On 9/10/2015 at 2:39 PM, plenzmd1 said: Be interesting to see what is 100% guaranteed and what is guaranteed against injury. I have to believe Whaley left himself some outs with his history. On 9/10/2015 at 2:40 PM, Bills Fan in MD said: There's no chance of that. Dareus has surely had some issues, but they are mostly maturity-related. Haynesworth is simply a jerk - both before and after he signed his contract. On 9/10/2015 at 2:42 PM, HamSandwhich said: I think he can be lazy at times, he had issues with that early in his career. I hope those issues don't rear their ugly heads now that he has a large contract with 60 mil. guaranteed. I think he has some good leaders in the locker room to keep him motivated though! Albert Haynesworth's situation has become a meme for big men who get paid. And yet, if his post from earlier this year is to be believed, it's entirely inaccurate: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/albert-haynesworth-letter-to-my-younger-self/

VanCity Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 This and Dead & Company announce a Buffalo show in the same day. It must be Christmas!

Thanks for posting this BC, it's really a great insight into somebody we all thought was a punk.
Forward Progress Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I am so happy!! This is the biggest move of a pretty active off-season. I thought his deal would be closer to Suh's than this, which doesn't ruin our cap situation going forward. FP

If there's one place Whaley's talent evaluation is probably sound, it's in spotting emerging LB talent. They won't necessarily look great off the starting line, and they don't have to - the idea is to keep bringing 'em in and letting them play ST, have them play well enough to fill in for an injury if needed.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 We may not have an Aaron Rodgers but we have the best DL in the league and the contracts prove it CBF
