Who cares. Lets enjoy the ride and see what happens. We finally have a bold thinker (not talker, thinker) in the FO and head coaching seat. Im going to give them lots of leeway to see what happens. Let them do what they have to do. So far, Ive been impressed.

They got rid of a guy wit ha huge contract, one misstep away fro m a one year suspension, and who's hasn't played a whole lot.

 

That's the best value they'd ever get for him.

 

 

Im not against getting rid of Dareus. You either had to get good value or keep him through next year. The Bills didnt do that. Those were your 2 options.

Well obviously not the only two options because he is gone. Why did they have to keep him through the year? He hasn't done jack dookie all year long.

The board tonight sounds a lot like the day marshawn was traded. Hopefully this works out better.

I read this and thought it had to be a joke. I don't care about his attitude and contract. He is a Pro Bowl DT and one of the better ones at his position. We should have gotten a player and a 3rd which could escalate to a 2nd or 1st based on performance. BAD BAD TRADE!

 

What's it like being so sure yet not knowing a damn thing about what you're talking about?

It appears a 6th is the FMV for him and his contract. If he was worth much more it stands to reason that another team would have made a better offer. Apparently they've been shopping him for some time and that's presumably all anyone was willing to offer for him.

 

I'm no cap specialist, but I understand that our cap hit is dramatically less by trading him than cutting him.

Ill keep on asking same player is on the jags and is offered up to the bills on a $2m contract... who doesnt take marcell at the cost of a 6th amd losimg 2m in cap space?

2019, 20, and 21 are 45 million in cap space.

 

Whether it will work is too soon to say, but this duo is building something and Marcel didn't fit it. The NFL is a lot about paying players what they are worth and managing cap. Marcel is not worth his pay, and the coach didn't like him. Simple story.

Marcell Dareus bolsters an already-dominant defense and could propel the Jaguars to the Super Bowl. @Danny_Heifetz

The rich just got richer. Has that ever been said about the Jaguars before?

 

On Friday, the Jaguars landed Marcell Dareus from the Bills in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick that could become a fifth-rounder based on the defensive tackle’s performance, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old Dareus, the no. 3 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft and a 2014 first-team All-Pro selection, signed a six-year, $96.6 million extension with Buffalo just two years ago. Adding a player of Dareus’s caliber seems to be a declaration that when the Jaguars say they are in “win-now” mode, they mean the Super Bowl.
