The Jacksonville Jaguars made a blockbuster trade over the weekend, giving up a sixth-round pick for Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Marcell Dareus. Dareus, a former two-time Pro Bowler and one time NFL All Pro (2014), was recently signed to a massive contract extension by the Bills, but a tenuous relationship with the staff and his play dipping, the team decided to move on from that salary and send Dareus to another team.
We will talk about Dareus’ fit in the Jaguars defense in another piece, as in where he will play and who should be worried about their spot, but another area of discussion Dareus has sparked is with the Jaguars salary cap and how he impacts it going forward.
