No way we pay Dareus $100M, time to get the value now

[Skooby]

There's no way we put another $100 M player on our D-line, so it's time to move Dareus for a major impact player. Who do you think we can get with him or which draft pick ??

I'm hoping this way of thinking will stop now that Pegula is the owner. Dareus is the best player on this team...pay him.

You dont get rid of an elite lineman in his prime. Ever.

You just need to pay him, he'll command a lot of money but he's worth it

Not sure anyone will give us good assets when they in turn have to pay Marcell $100m dollars.

One thing I do know, we better draft some DTs in this draft. Kyle or Marcell goes down and we are ****ed. Would like to draft Clemson DT Grady Jarrett.

Double edged sword. Now that Pegula is the owner, we may not have the cap to keep him.

I actually agree with this in theory.

The money Dareus will command will make a stupid amount of money invested in the DL, but not signing him causes a major hole. I dunno what kind of trade value you'd have for the guy as Haloti Ngata + a 7th got only a 4th and 5th.

Where is the team with a hole at DT and only a 4th and 5th in return? I'd put Dareus and Ngata in the same class at the position.

There's plenty of room to keep him, especially if they extend him now.
They will probably actually create room in this year's cap if they work out a deal ahead of time.

Ngata is 31 years old, you're trying to compare a 24 year old player that's possibly the best at the position to a 31 year guy ?? We are not going to have $100's of Millions just on the D-line, it's complete silly talk.

I wouldn't.

Ngata is on the downside of his career. Dareus is approaching his prime.

I couldn't disagree more.

Make room.

This is where Littman proves his worth.

You keep GOOD players, there are ways to work the cap, especially if you have CASH money you can deal with.

The Broncos kept John Elway by giving him car dealerships.

gilmore- replaceable, bradham- replaceable, glenn- replaceable

you dont let dareus go, not a top 5 dlineman entering his prime soon. and we will extend him

we dont have the cap of a franchise qb, we can sign him

The cap isn't just about this year. Look at next year- Clay counts for some absurd amount of cap space because we structured the deal to make it too expensive for Miami to match when they have to pay Suh next year

Yes, restructuring helps but in the end cap space is still finite. And restructuring often means delaying cap hits, but sooner or later the cap hit will come.

And the Bills can restructure Clay's contract as well if need be now that he is a Bill.

There are plenty of ways to work the cap.

Finally after all these years, it is GREAT to be worried about not having enough cap room.
