Then after the problems arose I wanted him off the team, same with Lynch, despite his talents he wasn’t worth the headache and the Bills backed him up and gave him several chances and he pissed them all away just like lynch did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I’d take him cheap to replace Phillips. He can be a rotational 3 technique and be effective. 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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 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. 2 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...
