stevestojan Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Ehhh maybe. He would have to be a big distraction for that to be the case and can't the captains keep him in line? The season is halfway done I feel like he could have helped us the rest of the way if you could get him in the right head space. Feels like a waste when this doesn't help us this season I defended you on the Kiko talk last night; cant do the same here. If he tripled his output this year, hed end the season with 24 tackles and 3 sacks. I know trust the process is now basically a meme, but so far, so good.
Like A Mofo Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 They did it a 2018 6th round pick? Really?? Seriously????? When the contact is that bad the return will be much less. I wish Dareus well. It was obvious this wasn't working out in Buffalo for him or the Bills.
boyst Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 You need about $6M on the rookies. If you factor in Kyle and Wood that could be WAY higher. The Bills have a boatload of space. Eating $14M instead of letting him play through next year is foolish.agreed. F69
Bronxbomber21 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 So there's a possibility we get a 5th based off his production with JVille?
Mat68 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 If Darues was worth more he wouldnt have been traded. He is paid like watt and playing like a rotational DT.
Domdab99 Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I'm shocked they could get anyone to take on his contract. there was a good chance of us just cutting him in the off-season - and then getting nothing for him. They tried to move him before this season - no one was biting. I love this...out with the old and dysfunctional, in with the process. Marcel hasn't done a damn thing in three years.
Lurker Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) it is possible that they wanted him out of the locker room I'd rather they deactivated him for the next 10 games then. You just know there's some HC on another team that thinks he--and he alone--can motivate Dareus. The big egos in the NFL make that a dead bang certainty. An offseason, lower stress atmosphere makes every FO into geniuses. Somebody would have offered a 3rd or something better than this return... Edited October 28, 2017 by Lurker

Foxx Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 The absolute worst part of this entire trade, short, mid and long term, is having to endure reading or hearing random nimrods saying, in all seriousness, "Tom Brady was a 6th round pick." does this mean you have to now punch yourself in the throat?
Wayne Cubed Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 This says absolutely everything about how the average fan is completely clueless. Do you know what a sunk cost is? No no, please explain what it is, I have no idea. Also explain how it pertains to this situation. Please educate all the average fans.
MRW Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 You need about $6M on the rookies. If you factor in Kyle and Wood that could be WAY higher. The Bills have a boatload of space. Eating $14M instead of letting him play through next year is foolish. I thought that, even taking dead cap into account, we are getting small to modest net cap savings this year and next. Are those numbers wrong or am I misunderstanding?
stevestojan Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I hate to see this happen. I really like Marcel Dareus. He is a victim of his contract in Buffalo. I hope he shows it was a mistake to trade him. Hes a victim of being overrated, breaking the rules, and not producing
dulles Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Never give a defensive lineman QB money! NEVER!!! I think this might be one of the smartest posts of the day!
fridge Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Do you trust Dareus to play next season? He is a bowl and bag of Doritos away from a long suspension. He was I defended you on the Kiko talk last night; cant do the same here. If he tripled his output this year, hed end the season with 24 tackles and 3 sacks. I know trust the process is now basically a meme, but so far, so good. They barely played him the first 5 weeks of the season. I really don't want to be getting to a point where I'm defending Dareus because he's not exactly my favorite player, but... he didn't look that bad. We should have let him play out the year. If he was such a locker room cancer we should have done this before the year began.
macaroni Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I'm not sure why they HAD to trade him this year. Aren't we on the hook for his contract this year either way? I'm no salary cap expert but how does trading him now vs in the offseason help? If I had to guess .... and this is ONLY a guess. Maybe Dareus either missed, or was late, or was inattentive for some meetings thinking his "star status" bought him some leeway ... and the coaching staff is adamant that they will NOT have stars ... they will have a TEAM. On the face of it based purely on his on field performance and the budgetary costs of trading vs keeping him, this trade makes no sense ... but based on the coaching staff "protecting the process" for the future of the team, I may understand it.
Agent 91 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I'm not sure why they HAD to trade him this year. Aren't we on the hook for his contract this year either way? I'm no salary cap expert but how does trading him now vs in the offseason help? i wanted him gone before the league year. we would have SUUUUUUCKED this year but we could have just eaten the cap this year but they waited too long for the inevitable.
aristocrat Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 All contracts should have the morals clause so it’s a lot easier to release him with no cap hit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
