He’s lazy, he takes plays off, but he’s still very talented. He’s only 30. What’s the deal? I’d bring him in for a workout. Also I apologize if this has already been brought up recently..

Because he's a turd.

Also...holy hell is that 2011 draft depressing to look at. I know WHY we took Dareus. We desperately needed to get better at run-stopping at the time. But holy cow...could've had a All-Pro at Edge, DL, WR, or LT who'd still be playing at a high level.

My friend from Wisconsin kept on telling me we needed to take JJ Watt.  I told him "nah, I want Dareus.  He's the best player in the draft".  Then we got Dareus and I was jumping up and down in my living room.  That SOB disappointed me so much and JJ Watt is my favorite non-Bill player in the NFL.

I still think it was a mistake because

 

1. He was still productive at the time

2. We wouldn’t have been in “cap hell” had we just waited a few months. 
3. Its a coaches job to work with tough athletes, not cast them aside in short order to find easier ones. Marrone hasn’t been able to manage Dareus or 60% of his roster because he sucks. 
 

That doesn’t mean that he should be an all pro. Or even that good. But cutting him that quickly created a large hole, where we had to over pay his replacement, and eat his salary, all while he was still productive at the time. 
 

I would be been fine letting him go the year after. It would have halved his dead cap space.

cut this off at the first sentence and this thread solves itself.

I thought it was a mistake to not trade the experts of TBD for considerations on future tailgate food but that is just my opinion.
