Kirby Jackson Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 According to Spotrac about $29 million. Draft picks should be about $10 million or more considering the amount we have. That leaves $19 million for those 3.You need about $6M on the rookies. If you factor in Kyle and Wood that could be WAY higher. The Bills have a boatload of space. Eating $14M instead of letting him play through next year is foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The absolute worst part of this entire trade, short, mid and long term, is having to endure reading or hearing random nimrods saying, in all seriousness, "Tom Brady was a 6th round pick."

DC Tom Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Well, tre White looks pretty damned good, h7h? They'll probably trade him next year for a 2020 fifth round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) You said he is almost suspended for 10 games? You either are or are not, there is no between the line. i said he is close to bring suspended for 10 games. Not that he is almost suspended. Why did this confuse you so...

KDIGGZ Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 they may have wanted him out of the locker room Ehhh maybe. He would have to be a big distraction for that to be the case and can't the captains keep him in line? The season is halfway done I feel like he could have helped us the rest of the way if you could get him in the right head space. Feels like a waste when this doesn't help us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRW Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I am very disappointed, but not as much in the trade but that Dareus has turned into a player of this little value. Just so everyone is clear, we did NOT trade the number three overall pick for a 6th rounder. We traded a disappointing and underachieving and overpaid player who we mistakenly thought six years ago was better than Julio Jones, Patrick Peterson, AJ Green and JJ Watt. We are trading the current player and remaining contract, and the fact that we didn't get our draft value six and a half years ago shouldn't impact our judgment here. Like the Watkins trade, we have to evaluate the actual player now and the impact of their departure on the big picture in addition to what we get back. I'm more confident in out current decision makers than I have been in a while, so I will trust the process. If there was a better trade they would have taken it, so when no team will offer a fourth for him, the mistake is in the past and all 32 teams think he is worth less than a fourth as a player with his contract. Oh well. Let's win. Sunday and see what 5-2 feels like without Marcel. Yeah, sunk cost fallacy all up and down this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 You know, I've only been thinking about this for 15 minutes so this might not be right, but...I agree with you. There's a lot of people trusting the ever living sh** out of the process right now, but honestly, this is a bad trade. It's not bad because we got rid of Dareus on the cheap and "got rid of" his massive contract, it's bad because there was a greater value in having Dareus for the final 10 games of the season than a 6th round pick. Beane couldn't figure out to get rid of him for more than a 6th? Fine, looks like we'll have to keep him and call teams again in the offseason. The savings were not great enough to do it mid-season like this. We are going to be hurt by Dareus no matter what, and he's a better player on the field than his issues and contract problems if we're talking about only a 6th in return. How do you know Dareus wouldn’t do something stupid and get suspended between now and then? Trade him while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What does it matter where they were drafted? Did you really just ask that? Haha, it seems you may not understand the business of football. This says absolutely everything about how the average fan is completely clueless. Do you know what a sunk cost is?

Laughing Coffin Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 @mikerodakThe Bills will save $5.73 million off their 2017 salary cap and $2.375 million off their 2018 salary cap. 2019-21 years get wiped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 How do you know Dareus wouldn’t do something stupid and get suspended between now and then? Trade him while you can. Again, if that's the case why did they have him to start the season then?? If all we could get was a 6th round pick, and we were okay with that, then we should have pulled the trigger in the offseason. If he was such a locker room cancer, why let him hang around for 6 games. We mistakenly felt urgency in the trade deadline and went for it now, which I don't understand. At this point, we should have let him finish the season. The 6th will be there after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmur66 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I hate to see this happen. I really like Marcel Dareus. He is a victim of his contract in Buffalo. I hope he shows it was a mistake to trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
