Assuming what Jason Cole wrote is what he's actually heard from someone with the team, why would that exec say that? What's to gain?

Maybe it might motivate Dareus. Can't really hurt at this point.

He can't be cut or traded after this season, but those options start to get way more manageable after 2017. Best to put in his mind that he might not see as much of that huge contract as he'd like if he doesn't shape up.

Good

 

Get rid of him. DT is such an overrated position

there are concerns about your mental state. have you had your health care proxy to visit lately ?

yeah it seems impossible.

TRade is hardly impossible. package Gilmore in there,

yea i said that

Mario Williams and now Dareus ... bailing after Rex and Rob come to town.

no comparison excepting MD caught the same disease.

How is mario dong btw. Maybe Gase needs a pot head

naw hes is stoned. he just hangs around Buffalo and gets "treatment"

 

This is not even subtle any more

This is shocking to me!! Who wouldn't love a $100M+ player that has failed multiple tests (including conditioning tests) and comes in out of shape?

Actually you and i know Dallas would

Unfortunately, it was their fault for giving him the heavily guaranteed player-friendly contract that apparently had no clauses for suspensions, weight, etc.

 

Yup. You just can't give out deals like that unless you are 100% positive a guy has a burning desire to play the game.

This is the why handing Dareus a massive contract with no language regarding suspensions for failing drug tests was laughed at around the league. The Eagles had a similar situation with Lane Johnson, a very talented OT, but one who had previously been suspended for PED use. So, the Eagles included in his massive contract extension, language that protected the team against the player making a foolish decision and using PED's again. What happened? Lane got popped again for PED use and was suspended for 10 games. Because the Eagles were diligent in their contract negotiation all of Lane Johnson's contact guarantees are now gone.........poof......they are on the hook for $0 if they want to cut him.

 

The Bills, on the other hand, have no protection at all and thus Dareus is an uncuttable and untradeable "ass"et. His dead money is massive and cutting him anytime before 2019 doesn't save the Bills any cap money whatsoever, it actually hurts them.

 

There were many informative NFL "guys" I follow on twitter that couldn't believe the Bills didn't protect themselves against something like this. So I blame, Overdorf or Whaley or whoever the hell signed off on this deal full well knowing the team would be screwed financially if Dareus did what he ended up doing.

And lastly, I loved Dareus, really did. But that really changed this year. He let everybody down again, and to me, the optics of his behavior is very troubling. I still don't think he's taken responsibility for any of his stupidity and asinine decisions. He seems to be that guy that blames everything and anyone beside himself.

Yes! But they did give him a stern talking to before signing him so thats pretty much the same thing right?

 

Giving someone who has had issues a huge contract with tons of guaranteed money and then expecting them to be more motivated is the epitome of idiotic. If someone gave me $100 mil Ill admit I would probably be a lazy tub of goo too knowing that I'm set for the rest of my life either way so where's the motivation to perform?
