Dareus got a ton of snaps today. He played a bunch of third downs as well. Either he is getting in the godo graces of the coaches or they were showcasing him for a trade like they did with Watkins.

He was ok today. Doubled quite a bit. Made no great plays. A few runs stuffs he didn't get credit for by the announcers. Still he had some one-one opportunities and he did not collapse the pocket. That said, the entire DL played poorly today.

It would be completely stupid to trade a franchise Left Tackle, that appears to have zero attitude issues and has few lingering health issues.

 

Dareus on the other hand..... seems to be playing just well enough to not completely suck.

Wouldn't be surprised if the staff did some due diligence hearing offers for Glenn. Don't think he's a guy they've been actively trying to trade but I'm sure they took calls.

Dareus, who has performed at an elite level at times in his career but has also worn out his welcome in Buffalo with suspensions and lackluster play, was seen as un-tradebable by other team's given his off-field woes and his massive contract

 

The Bills remain quite open to moving the former first-round pick if at all possible, sources said, though that will be a struggle. The rest of the league knows he is available ahead of the trade deadline -- which comes a week from Tuesday -- but the contract and his spotty effort remain a primary concern. Despite carrying a big salary ($10M) and unwieldy cap numbers (over $16M each of the next two years), the Bills could absorb the cap penalties from dealing him now, though they don't anticipate much interest in him. At this point, barring a complete turnaround in his play and attitude, the Bills will be moving on from him in 2018 and spreading the cap hit over two seasons as a post-June 1 designee, and they were highly motivated to deal him this summer, but constrained by a lack of demand.

While anything is possible, I'd consider the source of that article, before jumping to conclusions. LaCanfora is not very reliable with his rumor reporting.
