Rapoport: It's a Make or Break Year for Marcell Dareus

[wiskibreth]

I predict this is his last year as a Bill. He can be traded next year, even with his contract, at only a 14.5 mil cap hit. I just think the writing is on the wall with this new regime...

 

I agree, they'll move him pre-draft and eat the 14.2 dead cap in 2018.

 

Dareus will be first team All-Pro this year and his contract will look like a bargain

 

I bet they hope he does! That only makes him more tradeable for a higher pick.

Would anyone be willing to trade Dareus & 2nd rd pick to the Rams for Aaron Donald

for someone who wants the same contract?

Donald probably better deserves it. I don't have a problem with large contracts but before inking one the team has to understand who and exactly what they are buying. The Bills were on notice concerning Dareus. Chan would complain about always "having to stay on him". I remember a long soundbite where Drayton Florence dressed Marcel down on the sidelines saying he had to raise his head/motivation to the level of his talent or else etc...and that was in 2011 if memory serves. Would obviously love for the light to go on but I'm sceptical at this point. Looks to me like he's been paid and has lazed out. Someone mentioned Sapp. Thats the player Marcel could and should be but just isn't. Unless he turns it around big time I don't see Sean putting up with it.

Could of had Patrick Peterson, Aj green or JJ watt...and we got this guy.

Don't forget Julio!!

[Boatdrinks]

With 22 million in dead money he is going nowhere. Crappy contract!!!!!

They'll just eat the dead money for a year. They don't have any young talent that's about to get paid. Watkins was about it. Oddly enough they gave that money to an aging C with bad knees.

Dareus for Donald. Make it happen.

Ya Think?!?

 

@RapSheet

#Bills star DT Marcel Dareus faces a make-or-break year. He needs to show team brass that he's all in stick around: https://www.facebook.com/RapSheet/videos/1502608149805759/

 

 

....designated June 1, 2019 cut I believe is the first time it is economically feasible (could be wrong though)......

[artmalibu]

Im no cap pro but as I see the details he has to stay through next year, then the dead money decreases enough to do something. Cut or trade.

 

Lets hope he plays somewhere near his potential, and no more suspensions. That is best case.

[JerseyBills]

I expect Dareus to cause terror to opposing OLs yet again this year.

Me too. Huge bounce back year. I expect we see it in about 35 minutes

Marcell Dareus is a full-go today after dealing with a hip injury last week. #Bills @WGRZ

Agility for that size is unreal

I find this post completely baseless. On the field Dareus is 100% worth the money.

Don't look like it today

[Coach Tuesday]

Dareus is barely trying out there today. What a waste of talent.

The Jets are doing next to nothing on offense and he's being rotated in with this being game 1.

Well if they could go back in time there is no way that they write that contract imo.

If that is true then its not just me who disagrees with you.

[KellyToughII]

He hasn't done crap today

The hell he is. What Maybe 10 plays a game he is and still not worth 100 Mill. This guy has NOT been worth the BS or the money he makes.

What defensive lineman did anything today?

[Heitz]

99 not even in the stat line.

 

The only time they mentioned his name was to say "We haven't event mentioned Dareus today.".

[Pbomb]

He does get doubled teamed on most plays and the jets only had 38 yds rushing so while he didnt make the highlight reel he probably did his job. No one could get any pressure, mccown was passing to quick
