Tipster19 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I would have never thought this before but after hearing him in his presser I think that this kid just doesn't get it. Seems like when this team needs him the most he can't be found, he's always suspended. Locking up 100 million dollars on this bonehead who is 1 strike away sure doesn't seem like a good sound investment to me. Funny thing is it seems like we have been finding a way to win without him. Now that we have been forced to find FAs who are doing a very admirable job and being very close to getting Shaq back I believe that it would be in the Bills' best interest to move on from this immature idiot and find a better way to spend that massive amount of money on more mature and responsible players.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 not the worst idea, but let's see what he does the next few weeks first.
abc Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 If they could get someone to give up a first rounder for him, I'd jump on it. Talent-wise he's worth keeping even at the huge contract price, but he's one toke away or one missed drug test away from being gone for an entire season. Based on history I believe it's greater than 50% chance one of those things, or something worse, is going to happen and the Bills will be left with no asset whatsoever. Better to get some value and move on from this guy.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 What?! NO! he's not the brightest but one of the best DT's in the league (However if GB wants to give us Aaron Rodgers I'm IN)
GunnerBill Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I don't think that will be an option for them. Not sure anyone will trade a high pick for him. Before people jump on Tipster and call him a troll though or start quoting Sully at him... I was similarly worried by his presser. I am not sure he came across as at all contrite. Indeed he came across as an arrogant jerk. Now I hope that is just because he is clearly uncomfortable facing the media but if the team has any concerns internally about whether he has really moved on then they should be open minded about his future. EDIT: and I love him as a player. Think he is an elite talent. Edited October 7, 2016 by GunnerBill
Nihilarian Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I was wondering if the Bills were thinking of trading him this offseason simply because he doesn't quite fit that Rex Ryan 3-4 as an NT or DE should the team run mostly the same scheme they ran last season. This year with Thurman calling the plays it looks very different and with Dareus's elite talent he could make anything work. I also think the man just doesn't hold himself accountable for his actions off the field and his not being with the team those first two games could have perhaps been the difference in those two 6 point losses. Rex Ryan will be against letting the guy leave I'm sure. However, the GM / FO needs to look at the entire team and should Dareus relapse again he is gone for a year. It will be interesting to see what happens going forward.
jms62 Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Last time we let an elite talent go with 1 strike left he becane a Hall of Fame candidate in Seattle. Let it play out. I don't see teams offering a 1 for him. The risk is worth taking over a draft pick less than that.
Samwell Tarly Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Fair or not, elite talent earns one a lot of free passes in life. Let's just hope he cleans things up before it's too late. Go Bills!
BreezeMafia Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Why not field offers. The good franchises, such as New England, except for Brady of course, do it all the time.

That said, I would probably sound like a jerk if asked the same question over and over.
Billschinatown Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Less worried about words than on the field play and actions. At least his fiance didn't get involved.
4merper4mer Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Wouldn't it kill our cap for a couple years?
Bigantall Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Looking at the pc he seemed very uncomfortable that happens when you know you're not telling the truth the organization has to be thinking the same thing just can't trust the guy and who knows what other things he's done that hasn't been reported I say get rid of him
Coach Tuesday Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 They should explore the option of trading him for sure. And publicly, so that the message makes its way to him. Immense talent but lacks maturity and discipline.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 The Bills need to lead a push in the NFL to make marijuana use legal. It's the only way to protect their investment in guys like dareus and karlos.
Best Player Available Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 with Kyle in his his golden years and his play during the dareus suspension being pretty darn good. he masked a lot of the loss of Dareus. Along with others. One would imagine a huge downturn if Kyle got hurt or whatever. And Dareus got traded for nowhere near near his value in part because of his enormous contract, and like Lynch (who did succeed though) a strike away from a ten game suspension. I would keep Dareus and put the responsability soley on him. The team coddling is nice but it doesn't seem to work with this guy. If He flames out I would imagine there is a financial out on his contract. Since he already had strikes when they inked his new deal. One thing though he has used up his sympathy points. His presser seemed and was spelled out for him. It's time for this ADULT to nut up and take ownership of this his delivery/responses was less than stellar. Elite atheletes certainly come with privelages other players don't receive. It would be no surprise in the least if he flames out though IMO. I wish him luck he is needed.
