Drreef2 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 At his plea, someone asked him about staying in Buffalo: Upon arriving, Dareus had a brief chat with a Bills fan who recognized the player inside the courtroom. In wishing Dareus well, the person hoped he will re-sign with the Bills before the final year of his contract expires after next season. "Let's see if I can stay in Buffalo," Dareus responded. "I want to." http://pro32.ap.org/article/bills-marcell-dareus-reaches-plea-deal-car-racing-charges This sounds encouraging. Now we need a reasonable contract unlike Suh's contract. Hopefully we get something done after the draft. Go Bills!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Bills are no longer the Bills and don't do the same with Dareus. Great teams retain their best talent and, in my opinion, Dareus is the best player on our roster at the moment and he is just getting to his prime years.

Agent 91 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Very PR of him. No one is ever gonna say exactly what they are thinking to a fan the year off a contract. It's all about perception. What he really meant was "I will stay in Buffalo if they pay me the most handsome amount". I honestly need to see him dominate another year before I'm going to throw money at him. But I'm not the GM.

And that's exactly what was said about Jerry Hughes too. By most accounts he could have earned quite a bit more on the FA market but chose to sign here.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) but a promise is a promise Then I guess the Bills should have offered him a buck to stay since he promised. But seriously, after this off-season do you really think the Bills are going to cheap out? Edited April 8, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think a deal gets done before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo dareus is better than ngata was in his prime. I can't wait to watch this defense with our talent. I don't think Rex ever had talent like this across the board Edited April 8, 2015 by kr632 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Except the Bills didn't make Levitre a competitive offer to stay. Thankfully. Very PR of him. No one is ever gonna say exactly what they are thinking to a fan the year off a contract. It's all about perception. What he really meant was "I will stay in Buffalo if they pay me the most handsome amount". I honestly need to see him dominate another year before I'm going to throw money at him. But I'm not the GM. This. Re-sign with the team for less than Suh and we'll know he really wanted to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I needed to see was the Oakland game last year. They couldn't run on us until Darieus got hurt, then they were ripping off 10-15 yards runs at will. Pay the man, he is the best player on the roster & he is top 3 in his position in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 People tend to look at it this wrong way yes it's a biz, but.... No matter what the case, the Bills have gone from a team that had to pay a premium to get talent, to a destination of interest. People wanting to play there certainly can't hurt negotiations...even if it just went from beat the best offer to match the best offer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Hopefully the Bills are no longer the Bills What does this even mean? Didnt they just resign Hughes? didnt they extend Aaron Williams, McKelvin, Fred over the last few years? They picked up the team options for Dareus and Gilmore so they have proved in recent years that they are willing to resign players who want to be in Buffalo. Every team loses players, thats sports...the key is to keep the ones that matter and not overpay for the ones that are not worth it Dareus will be extended or at worst is the one person they would use the tag on...no doubt in my mind Edited April 8, 2015 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Dareus aint goin nowhere! the Peguals will make sure of it It`s not about the Pegulas paying him. It`s about cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxy312 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 It's good to see him say the politically correct thing here. None the less, why wouldn't he want to stay in Buffalo? This defense has to be top-3 in the NFL. Dareus enjoys unrivaled protection from getting to play with Mario, Kevin and Jerry. Put him on a lot of other teams and he wouldn't look so good getting double and triple teamed on every play. As the poster above me said, it has nothing to do with the money and everything to do with whether they can fit him under the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) It`s not about the Pegulas paying him. It`s about cap space.not true. #1) they will give him the most guaranteed money #2) they used to own the sports agency that represents him I realize it all has to fit under the cap but the cap will be increasing a lot next year plus they can restructure Mario. It will happen Edited April 8, 2015 by kdiggz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
