As a one-game suspension looms, Marcell Dareus is also facing the possibility of signing a massive new contract by the time he returns to full-pad football workouts this summer.
The Buffalo Bills have been quick to state all offseason that they are interested in re-signing fifth-year defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to a long-term contract extension before he becomes a free agent next spring. Now, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, we know a timeline for that ideal: training camp.

GM Doug Whaley, specifically, has said on numerous occasions that re-signing Dareus would be the team's top priority after the free agency and 2015 NFL Draft seasons came and went.
