It’s all about risk/reward. Anyone talking about his contract or off the field issues is missing the point. He’s not coming here as a high-priced star. He’d be a “buy-low” high upside piece. He’d rotate in on the DL. Exactly He would be a rotational 3tech and low dollar signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I misjudged the contract he got vs the one Hughes got- I predicted Hughes would be lazy and Dareus would be special- I was slightly off 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defense had a shot to go to the super bowl in 17 and they got killed by bad QB play from Bortles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferocious 3 tech who Washington turned into a 2 gap space eater,, Haynesworth was specifically told not to get sacks and they paid him 100 mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WideNine Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Nice kid with all the talent in the world, but once he got paid he lost any fire he had in his belly to work and just wanted to chillax and smoke pot. It happens. Some young athletes are driven to compete, some have a switch that coaches can easily flip to get them to compete, and some don't have enough of either and are a distraction you have to move on from. Hate to see the wasted pick, but glad the regime bit the bullet and pulled the plug. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Really the blame should be on Jim Overdorf - he was the one who did the contract for the player having issues with no clauses to take back bonuses, etc. for violations. Marcell Dareus is not a bad guy, just someone who needs a firm hand on him. If he went the Bills, said he realized he made mistakes, realized the Coach McD was trying to get him to be his best and was willing to sign an incentive based contract including penalty clauses for any transgressions then yes I'd sign him. But I do not think he has learned lesson yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Eh, I'd welcome him back on an incentive contract if his head is in the right place. If we got production out of a castoff from Miami, I'm sure we could make him work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wow....just like that? Don't they know he lost 6 grandmothers and his brother fell off a bike....all in the same year?? 58 minutes ago, Happy Gilmore said: I wish it could work out that Marcel could come back, though don't see it happening. He won't want to come back on a small, 'prove it' contract and I don't think McDermott would want him back. "Prove" what? That his career his over? He just did that in Jax.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Buffalo716 said: I would totally do it for league minimum. Rex took a generational 3 tech and made him a plug and that was stupid He could replace Phillips easily and at the 3 tech would probably be juiced up to play again Dream on. The league minimum will truly inspire him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if McDermott can do it with a castoff from Miami...what does Dareus bring that another castoff won't? Attitude? Effort? Hunger (not the kind to be filled with cheeseburgers)?

I remember he didn’t have nice things to say about us and the coaching staff after he got traded, I think he said he felt betrayed or something to that degree I don't know what he said privately, but publicly he was classy when leaving... https://buffalonews.com/2017/11/01/marcell-dareus-letter-to-buffalo-i-want-to-thank-the-amazing-buffalo-fans/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
